5 best Marksman builds in Last Epoch

If you're looking for builds with fast-paced gameplay that can also dish out huge damage to your enemies, the Marksman builds in Last Epoch are the perfect pick for you. This is one of the masteries of the Rogue class, which allows players to clear the end-game content, like Monolith of Fate echoes, much easier and faster.

Although there are a lot of builds you can make with this mastery class, some outperform the others.

Keeping that in mind, this article lists the best Marksman builds in the Last Epoch, suitable for both newbie and Seasoned Monolith farmers.

Disclaimer: Last Epoch allows a great deal of build variety and encourages creative building. This is not the only "best" viable build for the current endgame content at patch 1.0. You can use this as a reference and make your own alterations as long as you understand how scaling works for your chosen skills.
