Last Epoch: Are Boss Shields the Ultimate Enemy for Weak Builds?
mammoth39’s post sums up a broader discussion on the role of boss mechanics in Last Epoch, particularly focusing on how the shield affects builds with less damage output. The sentiment expressed seems to be shared by many players, as they express dissatisfaction towards the lengthy and demanding nature of boss battles. Some players, such as “Ayotte”, propose that the current shield system could benefit weaker builds by enabling damage avoidance to deplete the shield instead of solely through health reduction. In essence, the shield can be seen as a soothing cushion during boss encounters, despite occasionally feeling overly soft.
