Last Epoch Primalist Build: Machine Gun Spriggan Druid (0.8.2e)

In this take on a Druid, we recover what we lost from the Werigan build. Entangling Roots got the nerf hammer when being cast from Roar in the latest patch. Here, we are buffing our Spriggan while not in Werebear form to make it even more powerful than before. Here’s a look at the Last Epoch Machine Gun Spriggan Druid build for 0.8.2e.

Last Epoch Machine Gun Spriggan Build (0.8.2e) Overview

For this build, we don’t do damage ourselves. We’re simply running ahead and letting the Spriggan clean up the mess! We busy ourselves by buffing it with Eterra’s Blessing, Frenzy Totem, and Entangling Roots. You can run roots instead of Ice Thorns once Entangling Roots is fixed. It is currently bugged and does not affect the Spriggan as it should.

Build Rating: A

• Defense: 8.5/10 – Strong defense, but you still have to be careful with modifiers at corruption 100+.
• Offense: 8/10 – Fast kills but lacks AoE damage.
• Empowered Bosses: 7/10 – Tackles them average to fast.
• Speed Running Echoes: 8/10 – Can just run to the end and wipe out the train.
• Arena: 7/10 – It will be much better in Arena once Entangling Roots gets fixed.
• Average: 7.7/10 – Overall, it’s an A-Tier build. It’s a solid build for Echoes and boss farming into Empowered content.
