Last Epoch: 3 Best DPS Classes [Battle-Tested]

Last Epoch features five classes, and some stand out due to their massive DPS potential. From my personal experience, each class has a particular build featuring high DPS, but there are some of the best ones for the job in Last Epoch. Each class has three further masteries that matter highly when making a DPS build.

Best DPS Classes In Last Epoch Compared

Here is an overview of the three best DPS classes as per my experience in-game: 

1. Mage Class

The Mage class features the highest DPS out of all due to its large arsenal of spells available. This class is often not well-liked in the community due to spammable moves. However, in Last Epoch, there is a Spellblade mastery for the Mage class that allows it to use melee along with magic. There are other two masteries that have completely different play styles. 

Best Mastery For High DPS 

As mentioned before, there would be three masteries for each class.

• Unlocking The Mastery: You would have to unlock a mastery for your class after some progression. After unlocking, you will be able to select one that you prefer, as you won’t be able to change it again. 
• Spellblade Mastery For High DPS: I personally liked Spellblade the most as there is a variety of spells available, and there is no lack of melee combat, either. So, making a perfect build using this mastery will surely allow you to deal some massive damage. 

2- Primalist Class

Some might argue that Sentinel is a better option than the Primalist Class due to the Void Knight Mastery. This particular mastery is great and has high DPS potential, but I believe the Beastmaster and Druid Mastery of Primalist offer more DPS. I chose the Beastmaster Mastery for the Primalist; believe me; it destroys the opponents in combat. You can even make your build focusing on just one single summon, and it will work.

Best Mastery For High DPS 

• All Masteries Of Primalist: It features three masteries: Beastmaster, Druid, and Shaman. All 3 masteries are pretty great, with each featuring a different play style, meaning DPS will be affected based on your choice.
• Beastmaster Mastery For High DPS: You can choose either Druid or Beastmaster for high DPS, but I would recommend going with the Beastmaster. There are plenty of summon skills available, so make sure you select any two among them and focus more on them in the passive tree.

3- Rogue Class

The Rogue class is the last one on the list due to its versatility and, of course, the High DPS. Rogue is among my favorite classes due to its fast-paced melee combat. If you are not a fan of fast-paced combat, then you simply select another mastery that features long-ranged combat, as the Rogue Class has got you covered in either case. It also features a mastery that relies on traps and a summon.  

Best Mastery For High DPS 

• Selecting Mastery For Rogue: You can drop the Falconer mastery and focus on selecting one between Bladedancer and Marksman. Both feature high DPS and completely different play styles.  
• Blademaster Or Marksman Mastery For High DPS: If you want to experience fast-paced combat, then go with the Blademaster, but if you prefer ranged combat, then go with the Marksman Mastery. Both of these masteries feature high DPS that can allow you to win most fights in Last Epoch.  

Other Options To Go For

I have discussed the three best DPS classes and their respective masteries among the five available in-game.  

These are the other options you can go for:

• Lich Or Warlock Mastery Of Acolyte: Both of these masteries are pretty great and can allow you to deal with some high DPS in-game with the right build. However, I prefer the masteries of Mage over Acolyte due to better gameplay and damage.
• Void Knight Mastery Of Sentinel: Void Knight is arguably a good mastery for Sentinel, but this class is overall not great, which is why I prefer Rogue and Primalist over it. The other two masteries of Sentinel aren’t that good for DPS, either. 

My Take

My favorite class in-game is the Primalist, but when it comes to DPS, I believe the Mage Class features the most. 

Mage is one of the starting classes in Last Epoch that deals high damage. Even in the early areas, without a good build, you can defeat most of the enemies without dying. Other than that, Primalist does high melee damage and relies on summons that deal some good damage, too. 

That is almost everything you would want to know about the best DPS Class in Last Epoch. I have ranked these three classes based on my preference and experience with them in-game.  While you are at it, you should take a look at the guide on how to dismantle items in Last Epoch to get Affix Shards.
