Farming for optimal gear in ARPGs is an endless pursuit, where the S-tier builds stand out as the cream of the crop. These builds excel in speed, defenses, and damage, ensuring you clear maps faster than enemies can pose a threat.

The builds that belong to the S-tier in the Last Epoch farming tier list are the following:

Blast Rain Marksman
Shadow Daggers Bladedancer
Torment Warlock
Shadow Dagger Falconer
Explosive Ballista Falconer
Ballista Falconer

A-tier

While A-tier builds can match S-tier performance in specific gameplay aspects, they lag behind in others. For example, an A-tier build might excel in damage output but lack speed, making it an inferior choice to S-tier builds overall.

Here are the builds that belong to the A-tier in the Last Epoch farming tier list:

Plasma Orb Runemaster
Hydrahedron Runemaster
Nova Hammerdin paladin
Echo Warpath Void Knight
Smite Hammer Throw Void Knight
Bleed Warlock
Death Seal Lich
Wraith Necromancer
Dive Bomb Falconer
Dancing Strikes Bladedancer
Lightning Swarmblade Druid
Frostbite Swarmblade Druid
Thorn Totem Shaman

B-tier builds are accompanied by numerous caveats, particularly in terms of playstyle and damage, preventing them from performing at the same level as the previous builds.

These caveats may include downtime in area-of-effect damage due to cooldowns, low single-target DPS, or low movement speed.

The B-tier farming builds are the following:

Earthquake Werebear Druid
Squirrel Beastmaster
Glacier Sorcerer
Frost Claw Runemaster
Frostbite Frost Claw Runemaster
Spark Charge Runemaster

The C-tier builds are similar to those in B-tier in terms of performance, but they exhibit additional gameplay quirks. Whether dealing with frustrating Minion AI or high buff management, it often feels like doing extra work for the same outcome as the previous builds.

These are the C-tier farming builds:

Golem Necromancer
Tempest Earthquake Beastmaster
Elemental Nove Sorcerer
Electrify Javelin Paladin
Harvest Lich
Shatter Strike Spellblade
Disintegrate Runemaster
Ignite Shield Rush Forge Guard

The D-tier builds are some of the least effective options for farming in Last Epoch. Limited area-of-effect abilities and subpar single-target DPS are drawbacks that make these builds less enjoyable for farming purposes.

Here are the builds that belong to the D-tier in the Last Epoch farming tier list:

Swipe Werebear Druid
Upheaval Beastmaster
Flame Reave Spellblade

The build that stands uncontested in the E-tier is the following:
