Last Epoch: The Ultimate "Forge Fury" Forge Guard Build Guide

I. Build Concept and Performance

This build is specifically engineered for players who prioritize maximum clearing efficiency and satisfying, screen-wide area-of-effect (AoE) damage. Known as the "King of Treasure Echoes," this setup focuses on high-impact, explosive power that deconstructs entire packs of enemies instantly. It provides a highly "decompressing" gameplay experience, making it the premier choice for players who want to clear every corner of a map with surgical precision and raw force.

II. Strategic Gear Sets: Balancing DPS and Survivability

The Forge Guard has two primary endgame gearing paths depending on your preference for damage ceiling or defensive stability. The Forge Weapon Set is the offensive choice, designed to boost skill levels and push your damage to its absolute limit. While using this set, your Endurance Threshold during Forge Fury will hover around 2,000. To compensate for the slightly lower defensive profile, it is highly recommended to swap "Movement Speed" for "Health" on your boots to ensure a more stable experience. This set is also an excellent alternative if you find it difficult to acquire a high-potential (2-LP) Temporal Eraser (Time Dissector).

Alternatively, the Ursine (Bear) Set is the gold standard for survivability. This configuration focuses heavily on the Endurance Threshold mechanic, allowing it to reach a staggering 3,000+ while Forge Fury is active. This level of damage mitigation allows you to comfortably tank heavy hits in high-corruption environments while maintaining your offensive pressure.

III. Weapon Configurations and Combat Flow

Your choice of weaponry dictates your mechanical rhythm and affix priorities. If you opt for Dual-Wielding, you will find that the build has no shortage of base damage. In this scenario, you should prioritize Attack Speed affixes to facilitate a smooth, 4-second skill rotation. For your gloves, both Attack Speed and Strength are viable options; the choice depends entirely on your personal preference for "feel" and animation fluidity.

For players using a Single Weapon setup, the base damage may feel lower, requiring a heavier reliance on "More Damage" multipliers within the skill tree nodes. The rotation for this setup is straightforward: simply cycle through your three core skills in sequence to maximize output. For players still in the progression phase, a 3-LP (Legendary Potential) Sledgehammer serves as a powerful transitional weapon until your endgame pieces are finalized.

IV. Movement and Skill Optimization

To achieve the smoothest possible mapping experience, minor adjustments to your skill tree can yield significant results. When focused purely on clearing maps or "speed-running" echoes, consider deselecting the Quenching Strike node. Removing this node significantly increases your skill animation speed and reduces wind-up time, allowing for a much faster and more responsive traversal of the battlefield
