  • Blast Rain Marksman
  • Shadow Daggers Bladedancer
  • Torment Warlock

  • Plasma Orb Runemaster
  • Hydrahedron Runemaster
  • Nova Hammerdin paladin

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

  • Flame Reave Spellblade

The build in this tier is undeniably the worst option for farming in Last Epoch. It lacks the necessary area-of-effect damage and struggles with low health sustain, making it challenging to survive at high Corruption stacks.
