Curating a class tier list for an MMO Last Epoch is difficult, especially in Season 3 because every class as multiple masteries present. So, even if a class itself isn’t that great, one of its masteries tend to have insane endgame potential.
With every seasonal update, there’s a considerable shift in the meta. This is EHG’s way of keeping the game feeling fresh, and pushing everyone towards trying out newer builds.
It’s also worth remembering that every class in Last Epoch is effective and viable in the endgame. So, even if you don’t see your favorite class/mastery high up on any tier list, don’t let it stop you from trying it out in-game.
Every Class in Last Epoch Season 3, Ranked
You will find five classes in Last Epoch, with each of them leaning into a different playstyle. This ranking is dynamic will change depending upon how these classes are handled through updates.
| Rank | Class |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sentinel |
| 2 | Acolyte |
| 3 | Primalist |
| 4 | Rogue |
| 5 | Mage |
Last Epoch Class Mastery Tier List
Although you could take the rankings into account while deciding which class you want to play, it’s the masteries that you should actually be considering.
Despite being the best class in Last Epoch, some masteries pale in comparison to those which the other classes possess.
| Tier | Masteries |
|---|---|
| S | Beastmaster (Primalist), Void Knight (Sentinel), Falconer (Rogue) |
| A | Paladin (Sentinel), Runemaster (Mage), Lich (Acolyte), Necromancer (Acolyte) |
| B | Bladedancer (Rogue), Warlock(Acolyte), Shaman (Primalist), Sorcerer (Mage), Marksman (Rogue), Spellblade (Mage) |
| C | Forge Guard (Sentinel), Druid (Primalist) |
Just like the class rankings, this mastery tier list is also dynamic, and changes depending upon how the patches and updates affect the meta.
Best Masteries in Last Epoch Season 3
The best masteries are the easiest to play and don’t have a very steep learning curve. While they might not be overpowered from the get-go, by the time you reach the endgame, they can obliterate anything and everything in their path.
Beastmaster
Be it the theme for season 3 or whatever, but Beastmaster is absolutely the best mastery for you to use, if you like playing as a Primalist in Last Epoch.
Most of its builds have received a significant buff, so you can play as a Bear Beastmaster, or the Storm Crow Beastmaster without much difficulty this season.
It’s easy to play, has a lot of health, if you’ve built into it correctly, and can take down enemies quicker than you would expect it to.
Void Knight
The Void Knight is a bit of a controversial pick at this point because of how EHG has treated it so far. It’s been a middling class for a while, but last seen saw quite a few buffs that pushed it up the ranks.
However, with Last Epoch Season 3, the Void Knight was hit with major nerfs, but despite that, it still have a few builds that are exceptionally good at high corruption levels.
If you’re playing as a Sentinel, then be sure to try out the Erasing Strike Void Knight build or the Warpath Void Knight build, because these are the best builds in Last Epoch right now.
Falconer
The Falconer made it to this list primarily because of the Ballista build. While the other builds were hit with a nerf, the Ballista build somehow survived the onslaught and is holding the fort.
If you’re looking to play as a ranged melee class, and you don’t mind your minions being in the thick of the action, then the Ballista Falconer is something that you should be going for. It’s a versatile build in Last Epoch and can help you breeze through Monoliths in no time.
