0s greetings Travelers I'm Judd kobler
3s founder of 11th Hour games and game
5s director for last Epoch we've just
7s returned from our very first Gamescom
9s where we finally introduced the game and
11s the studio to the world in a major way
13s and the reception was tremendous
15s thousands visited our booth and got
17s hands on our newest Mastery the Rune
19s Master today I'm excited to unveil even
22s more details about the Rune master and
25s the rest of beta patch 0.9.2 Runes of
28s power releasing September 7th
30s the Rune master who joins the spellblade
33s and the Sorcerer as the final Mage
35s Mastery is unquestionably the most
37s flexible character class thanks to his
39s signature spell runic invocation but
42s let's explore Rune Master's other
43s abilities first
45s flame Rush is a channeled movement skill
47s that transforms the Mage into a ball of
50s fire you shoot across the battlefield
52s damaging enemies along your path
54s as you continue channeling at the end of
57s your journey you explode into a more and
59s more powerful burst of flames nodes on
62s the flame Rush skill tree offer loads of
64s customization including a node that
66s attaches a volcanic orb to your Rune
68s Master as well as nodes with damage
70s conversions for cold or lightning
72s frostwalk conjures you guessed it an icy
75s wall at the Target location freezing
78s enemies who dared to cross it and
79s applying cold damage over time you can
82s convert frostwall to fire or lighting
84s walls and can grant various spots to
86s allies who pass through it like your
88s fully specialized flame Ward
90s Glyph of dominion is an AOE Lightning
93s Spell that places an expanding glyph on
95s the ground damaging and slowing enemies
97s who stand in it at full size the glyph
100s detonates dealing large amounts of
102s damage to enemies caught inside skill
104s tree nodes include fire conversions AOE
107s Buffs crowd control and more
110s runebolt is a spammable combo skill that
112s casts a piercing missile of rooting fire
114s then runic lightning then run it cold in
117s a repeating cycle
118s runebolt's skill tree nodes add ways to
120s cast different sequences of these
122s Elemental bolts which is great for
124s queuing up desired runes the tree can
127s also make the room bolts generate Mana
128s Auto Target and more
131s the centerpiece of the Rune Master's
133s Arsenal is runic invocation which gives
136s you 40 unique spells in one while runic
139s invocation is on your action bar casting
141s any of the mage's elemental spells fire
143s ice or lightning will generate a
146s corresponding Rune which displays above
148s your character when you cast runic
150s invocation your runes will be consumed
152s and the corresponding spell will be cast
154s for example Aragon's greater Fireball a
158s devastating Fireball that applies
159s spreading Flames to All Enemies hit or
162s the lottery stormlance which deals
165s massive light and damage in a piercing
166s line or ryowen's Frost guard a shield
170s that reduces damage taken grants base
172s Ward generates Ward over time and
174s explodes if broken the list goes on
177s there are 40 different possible spells
179s cast with rudic invocation so we hope
181s you enjoy experimenting and mastering
183s the elements
185s like every other Mastery the Rune master
187s has his own passive tree you'll find
189s passives that allow such things as
191s expanding the reach of AOE skills to
193s multiplying damage output based on the
195s current runes you're holding plus as
198s with every one of well over 100 skills
200s in last Epoch each of the Rune Masters
202s five new skills have their own skill
204s tree with dozens of nodes for even
206s greater customization he truly is
208s uniquely flexible and offers an
210s unparalleled array of potential builds
214s while we're on the subject of new
216s abilities the Runes of power update also
218s adds the new base Mage ability Frost
220s claw this super versatile slammable eye
223s skill can deliver both direct Target and
225s AOE damage and really fills the gap
227s between lightning blast and Fireball as
230s a spammable cold ability
232s changing gears a bit another important
235s part of this latest update is
236s localization because despite previously
239s being English only last Epoch has
241s attracted a truly Global following we're
244s excited to announce that as of September
246s 7th all text in the game will be
248s available in eight additional languages
250s including Chinese French German Korean
254s polish Portuguese Russian and Spanish
258s with this patch we're also adding new
260s monsters new unique items several Quest
263s updates and more of course with Rune
265s Master joining The Fray we've included a
267s stockpile of new armor weapons and other
269s accessories just for him
271s 11th Hour games is continuing to make
273s navigating the world a more exciting and
276s enjoyable experience in both the
277s campaign and in-game in Runes of power
280s we're introducing three updates that we
282s believe will help we're introducing a
284s new type of random event that you'll
286s encounter Rune prisons
288s upholding the order of magic rune
291s Masters have imprisoned Mages that
293s carried out dangerous Arcane experiments
295s sealing them with Rune prisons and
297s exiling them through time when you
299s encounter one of these prisons you may
301s extricate the powerful and aggressive
303s imprisoned Mage and the risk May well be
306s worth the reward
307s exiled Mages always drop a new type of
309s experimental item with new item mods
312s that cannot be found any other way in
314s attera and at higher levels may even
316s drop a new experimental Rune of research
319s to help you begin crafting your own
321s experimental items
322s we've also added a new type of cache
324s that you may find throughout the game
326s called One-Shot caches that will give
328s much better than average loot when found
330s the first time an in-game equivalent
332s lost caches can be encountered randomly
334s in the monolith and these grant their
336s full set of loot each time you find them
339s these types of events and rewards will
341s make it more exciting to explore the
343s spaces you're in
344s however that doesn't mean long hallways
346s with dead ends and backtracking should
348s be commonplace especially an in-game so
351s we've made a significant amount of
353s improvements to existing monolith zones
355s for better pathing including removing
357s many paths to dead ends improved and
360s made connections across larger paths
361s added more player spawn points for more
364s variation and we've brought many monster
366s spawn locations closer together as a
368s start to improving and increasing the
370s monster density throughout in-game and
373s many will be happy to hear that Alpine
375s Halls has been drastically reduced in
376s size
377s and some awesome new uniques including
380s this one that perfectly complements the
381s new Mage ability Frost claw drag racclaw
384s Max the crit chance on Frost claw and
387s watch drag race claw electrified nearby
389s enemies almost endlessly and since this
392s one's got legendary potential you could
394s min max it even further the
396s possibilities are staggering
398s another unique item being added mirror
400s phage gains legendary status in a new
403s way by eating the shards from swords you
405s shatter it only drops from exiled Mages
408s so another compelling reason to find and
410s face the new Rune prisons
412s between the new Frost claw ability for
414s mage localizing in eight additional
416s languages Rune Prison events One-Shot
418s caches improved in-game pathing and
421s monster density updated visuals dozens
424s of new monsters and items and of course
425s the Rune Master Patch 0.9.2 is bringing
429s a treasure Trove of new content and
431s overall improvements to last Epoch so we
434s hope you'll jump in the game September
435s 7th to check it out as usual we'll be
438s hanging out on the forums the last Epoch
