Last Epoch Season 3’s meta revolves around Void Knight, Beastmaster, Necromancer, Paladin, and Falconer. With new features like Primal Hunts and Primordial Uniques, plus balance adjustments, here’s how masteries rank for optimal builds:

S-Tier Classes

• Beastmaster: Dominates with Earthquake bear builds for tanky AoE damage and wolf companions. Tyrant’s Skull elevates T-Rex minions to top-tier.
• Necromancer: Abomination reworks streamline summoning, making skeletons and golems late-game powerhouses.
• Void Knight: Warpath builds blend speed and durability, while Anomaly delivers burst damage for all content.
• Paladin: Balances defense and offense through Judgment builds, excelling in hardcore viability and survivability.
• Falconer: Ballista setups and improved AI make this rogue mastery fast, versatile, and lethal.

A-Tier Classes

• Lich: Unmatched poison/bleed damage but risky due to health-cost mechanics.
• Sorcerer: Meteor builds shine after cooldown tweaks, excelling at crowd control.
• Druid: Smoother Werebear transitions and potent Earthquake skills.
• Marksman: Enhanced projectile speed and scaling for efficient monolith farming.

B-Tier Classes

• Shaman: Stronger crit scaling but overshadowed by faster casters.
• Blade Dancer: High boss damage via shadow duplication but gear-dependent.
• Forge Guard: Defensively solid but outperformed by other sentinels.
• Runemaster: Potent rune synergies require patience for setup.

C-Tier Classes

• Warlock: Niche curse builds lack Necromancer/Lich reliability.
• Spellblade: Fun hybrid playstyle but middling scaling.
