Last Epoch

Honestly one of the best ARPG out there. The right amount of difficulty (for the campaign) as well as character development through skill upgrades/variations. In term of the learning curve, it's right inbetween Diablo 4 (very simple) and Path of Exile 1 (being very complicated for a first timer). In Last Epoch, you can make any build work without having to do napkin maths every level.
Highly recommend if you enjoyed D3, D4, PoE1, PoE2

The crafting is system is so simple for a casual like me! It makes builds fun without looking up a guide!

Fun game, awful music. If you dont like constant, discordant moaning then Id recommend muting

I find it more challenging than D4 and not as complicated as POE. Like so many others have said. I look forward to the next season and will support this game so long as I'm enjoying it.

Alright, let’s get one thing straight—if you’re trying to decide between Last Epoch, Path of Exile 2, and Diablo 4, you’re obviously looking for the ultimate ARPG experience. Lucky for you, I’ve done the hard work and ranked them across various categories. You're welcome.

Category Rankings (1 = Best, 3 = Worst)
Graphics/Visual Presentation/Cutscenes:
🥇 Diablo 4 – Blizzard, as usual, proves that if there’s one thing they can do better than anyone, it’s cinematics and environments. Shame that’s about all they excel at.
🥈 Path of Exile 2 – Looks solid, but let’s be real, GGG has never been known for eye candy.
🥉 Last Epoch – It’s... functional. But hey, at least it doesn’t look like a PowerPoint presentation anymore.

Sound/Sound Design/Soundtrack:
🥇 Last Epoch – Somehow, EHG went all-in on sound design and delivered the best title screen music in ARPG history. Bravo.
🥈 Diablo 4 – Good, but mostly because of nostalgia.
🥉 Path of Exile 2 – Sound? Oh yeah, that thing you turn off because half the skills feel like they were recorded in a tin can.

Story/Storytelling:
🥇 Diablo 4 – The writing team at Blizzard may be on life support, but they still somehow managed to beat the competition here.
🥈 Path of Exile 2 – It tries, it really does.
🥉 Last Epoch – The story is there, technically. It exists. Let’s just say EHG makes better games than novels.

Gameplay:
🥇 Last Epoch & Path of Exile 2 (TIE) – One is deep, rewarding, and engaging. The other is Path of Exile.
🥈 Diablo 4 – Feels like an ARPG designed by a committee that had to explain what an ARPG is to their boss every week.

Skill System/Modifications:
🥇 Last Epoch – Absolute gold standard. Turning skills into entirely new mechanics? Beautiful.
🥈 Path of Exile 2 – Still solid, but a bit more rigid.
🥉 Diablo 4 – LOL.

Endgame Grind Fun:
🥇 Path of Exile 2 – Grinding Gear Games lives up to its name.
🥈 Last Epoch – Good stuff, just not as absurdly deep as PoE.
🥉 Diablo 4 – When your endgame grind feels like a chore, you have a problem.

Ideas/Game Mechanics:
🥇 Last Epoch – Time travel, unique dungeon mechanics, and a Nemesis system that actually feels rewarding. EHG is out here cooking.
🥈 Path of Exile 2 – Great stuff, but just a little behind Last Epoch’s innovation.
🥉 Diablo 4 – Revolutionary idea: what if... we made Diablo 3 again?

Listening to Community:
🥇 Last Epoch – EHG actually listens. What a wild concept.
🥈 Path of Exile 2 – GGG listens... sometimes.
🥉 Diablo 4 – Blizzard listens in the same way a cat listens to you telling it to get off the counter.

Value for Money:
🥇 Path of Exile 2 – Free-to-play done right.
🥈 Last Epoch – Buy once, play forever. No nonsense.
🥉 Diablo 4 – $70 for the base game, plus battle passes, plus expansions. Nice.

Final Thoughts
Diablo 4 wins the “Best Looking But Least Fun” award. It’s gorgeous, sure, but once you get past the visuals, you’re left wondering if you should just replay Diablo 2 instead.

Path of Exile 2 is a beast when it comes to endgame grind and sheer content volume, but it still carries the baggage of needing a PhD in ARPG Economics to fully grasp its systems.

And then there’s Last Epoch. The little indie ARPG that could. Is it perfect? No. The story needs work, the world feels a bit empty, and real animated cutscenes would be a massive plus. But EHG is out here pulling off miracles with a fraction of the budget of its competitors. The skill system is top-tier, the loot filter is built-in (imagine that!), and the devs actually care about player feedback.

Final Verdict: If I had to choose between Last Epoch, Path of Exile 2, and Diablo 4... well, let’s just say Diablo 4 wouldn’t even be in the conversation.

And Season 2? Looking real spicy.

If you are craving more from the Diablo franchise and get a migraine trying to unfold the heroin laced cocaine riddle talent trees of PoE, then Epoch is exactly what you need. It has enough depth to give you options but not so much that you have to have a masters degree to understand. It is also visually stunning where it needs to be and allows the gameplay to speak for itself.

Great ARPG to play if D4 is too easy and PoE is too complex for you.

Excruciatingly slow updates - literally one season per year. The game has left Early Access, which for live service is supposed to be a time for big, frequent, and bold changes, and we've only got 2.5 content updates in 13 months (and they weren't really that impressive imo) all other stuff they've released were bugfixes and paid cosmetics. I've seen games from smaller studios that did bigger patches more often. And now they're delaying season 2 for half a month because they want more marketing from streamers or smt, which is just disrespectful to the people who already paid for the game.

Discarding characters because the core synergy node for the interesting build i want, straight up just didnt work also felt awful (they fixed most of them tbf, but like after a year) .

The story is decent, i dont know why others say its bad, i was more engage and hyped than playing POE1 campaign for sure (i even spent some time outside of the game thinking about "themes™" and lore bits, which is rare for an ARPG), even so the last third definitely feels more rushed and hectic. The integration of lore and game mechanics are good and clever too. But campaign is not finished and ends abruptly, and i'm afraid i'll die of old age before it is completed.

Amazing ARPG, like others have said it's the perfect middle ground between Diablo and PoE in terms of complexity. My first build I made completely from scratch and it feels very viable in the endgame where in PoE I felt like I couldn't really get super far into endgame without following the meta. I also think Last Epoch has the best item crafting system I've ever used. Perfect balance between determinism and RNG. Respecing is also very easy and balanced. Also, the fact that I can play completely offline is a huge win!

Long over due for this review but Last Epoch is an amazing ARPG. They are truly innovating in the genre bringing unique ideas and solutions to the most common arpg issues without making you buy them from a cash shop.

I decided now to make this review for 2 reasons, 1 - because Last Epoch has everything you could want in an arpg, its tons of fun with many build options, and it's only getting better and better, 2 - because those A-holes over at GGG think it's ok to bully and try to hinder the success of a smaller studio EHG by pushing they're update into the same weekend, forcing EHG to reschedule Season 2 regardless of the fact that EHG had the date set in stone a month earlier. All LE fans should drop a negative to GG for this SH** move.

It might be good and im having a good time, is better than the sh*tshow that is poe2 and everything, but i f*ing hate when a game CLEARLY NOT FINISHED (like fr the story is not finished) drops the EA tag to become 1.0 and start promoting an unfinished game as a full one with a full price tag. Thats deceptive and more when most of your news and updates are all about MTX (not so micro in an already payed game) and not about finishing the mf game story.
And also no offline/lan co-op... like is 2025 most game have some couch-lan multiplayer if diablo could do it in the early 2000 and all the modern arpg can do it now, where is your excuse?..oh yeah cant sold me mtx then if im not forced online...
so yeah good game, dog sh*it greedy devs... when/if they finish the game someday i will change the review, so far is no and have some wolcen vibes (not the good ones).

Fun and engaging ARPG, definitely got my worth out of the 20€ i got it for in early access. But, the game has major issues :
- Bugs: I've lost count of the times I rolled a character only to find out one key node in a skill does absolutely fuck all.
- Performance: exactly what you expect a game made in unity by redditors to run like.
- Turned into a live service game. MTX purchases included! (that you can't even use if you play offline)
- Campaign: story is awful, completely forgettable npcs and best part is it's not even finished to this day. You need to play through it (even if partially with recently added skips) on every single character you make before getting to the actual fun part of the game.
- Balance: too much to cover in a steam review, let's just say I wouldn't trust the devs to balance my breakfast.
The last straw for me was the devs just fucking off for 6-12 months at a time after an update, which was understandable to a certain point in early access, now is just a joke (especially after switching to live service). For a concrete example, look up the time difference between 1.1 and the upcoming 1.2 "cycles".
Game has so much potential, very sad to see how it turned out especially post 1.0. Can't recommend to new players.

Extremely disappointing that Eleventh Hour Games launched 1.0 over a year ago and still hasn't finished their game's campaign.

Last Epoch is a fun ARPG experience and I understand and agree that an ARPG's campaign/story isn't the focus of the genre but on principal it leaves a rotten taste in my mouth that this game left early access despite clearly not being feature complete and that a year later still hasn't finished their game. It makes Last Epoch feel less like a product made with a strong vision and design intention and more like an incomplete cash grab despite the game actually being a rather good ARPG.

I've been playing Last Epoch since its early days on Steam, watching it grow from an ambitious project into one of the best modern ARPGs on the market. With over 1,000 hours across my accounts, I can confidently say that this game is not just another Diablo clone; it's a refined, engaging, and endlessly replayable experience that takes the best elements of other ARPGs while avoiding their pitfalls.

Many ARPGs struggle to strike a balance between depth and approachability. Some lean too hard into overcomplicated systems, while others oversimplify and lose long-term replayability (Diablo 4). Last Epoch finds a sweet spot; it offers deep, rewarding build customization without overwhelming players with convoluted skill trees. Each character class feels distinct, and thanks to the incredible skill specialization system, no two builds feel precisely the same.

One of the biggest reasons this game stands out is Eleventh Hour Games and their commitment to the community. This isn't some soulless, corporate-driven loot treadmill; Last Epoch is made by people who love ARPGs and listen to their players. Patches come frequently, feedback is heard, and updates feel meaningful rather than just balance band-aids. It's rare to see an ARPG developer this engaged with its fanbase.

ARPGs live and die by their loot and progression systems, and Last Epoch delivers in spades. Loot drops feel exciting rather than just filler junk, and the crafting system is one of the best in the genre. Unlike other games where crafting is just an RNG gambling machine, Last Epoch gives players actual control over improving gear, making min-maxing feel rewarding rather than frustrating.

Many ARPGs fall apart when you hit the endgame, turning into mindless XP grinds or repetitive dungeon loops. Last Epoch's Monolith of Fate changes that by adding branching choices, difficulty scaling, and meaningful rewards. It keeps the endgame engaging rather than just another endless gear treadmill.

For all its brilliance, Last Epoch isn't perfect. The game runs on Unity, and while the engine has improved over the years, micro stutters still exist, even on high-end PCs. While not game-breaking, it's noticeable, and something I hope gets ironed out with continued optimizations. But when a game is this good, it's a minor tradeoff. A+

Last Epoch Last Epoch starts off strong, offering an engaging ARPG experience with plenty of potential. The game introduces players to a time-traveling adventure that is both intriguing and exciting at first. However, as I progressed through the game, its charm began to wane. While the mechanics are solid, and the progression system is extensive, the gameplay loop eventually felt overly repetitive.

I often found myself multitasking—watching a show or listening to music—just to make the grind more tolerable. When a game doesn’t fully command your attention, it raises the question: Is it really worth your time? For me, Last Epoch struggled to keep me immersed in the long run, even though it had some bright moments early on.

Pros:
Engaging time-travel mechanic adds a unique flavor to the genre.
Rich progression system with numerous skill trees and builds to experiment with.
Strong initial appeal with exciting combat and intriguing story elements.

Cons:
Gameplay loop becomes repetitive, leading to a lack of long-term engagement.
The grind can feel like a chore rather than rewarding progression.
Fails to hold your full attention over extended play sessions.
Could benefit from more variety in endgame content and challenges.

Amazing ARPG for those who enjoy grinding for gear and want to take on the challenges that Last Epoch throws at you. There are currently 5 classes with 3 different Mastery's (ascendencies if your from POE) for each class which makes re-playability extremely high.

The lore of this game is centered around God's which control corresponding elements, its interesting enough for a ARPG which are usually pretty "meh" story and I'd say its still falls within that "meh" range. The interesting twist this game has is time travel and re-inventing the enemy types as you traverse through the Epochs (see what i did there) is a nice way to show the player how time changes the environment and the characters in the story. There is also parallel time spaces (basically alternate realities) which have you fighting the "good guys" which is a cool concept as well.

The ability tree and crafting system of this game is extremely good, easily overtaking Blizzard's Diablo and giving POE a run for its money (although POE still has a bit more depth). I also find the approach to endgame very appealing with its more customizable factions you have to choose from. I love playing Solo Self-found Modes in ARPG's and Last Epoch has an amazing faction system which allows you to pick from Circle of Fortune (No Trade) and Merchants Guild (trade).

The Circle of Fortune (COF) is amazing for people who like me, don't want to feel obligated to trade for the best gear and makes the chase for legendary gear more "fair". especially in comparison to other games that don't have features for players not wanting to buy the most powerful gear such as POE2 or Diablo.

This makes balancing the game for solo players and group players equally as fun and there is no inner monologue asking why you are torturing yourself to find one piece of gear when you could've just bought it from other players. HUGE win.

The crafting is extremely easy to understand but hard to master, BY FAR the best crafting in any ARPG I've played to date. Not to mention the game has an immensely detailed guide explaining the games mechanics which makes it a amazing resource for anyone who is new to the ARPG genre or a great refresher after taking a break for awhile. LE also has its own customization loot filters which is easy to understand and will help you great in the endgame looking for specific items.

Items in general are well done and the Uniques actually feel impactful and sometimes build defining (POE could take notes). A little note here without going too deep, HOLD ONTO YOUR EXALTED items. The biggest grind they have in this game (and the biggest boost in power) is slamming your uniques with legendary potential with exalted items so hold onto those exalts as you will need as many chances to slam them together to make your Godly legendary items.

The game is about to receive a MAJOR patch (Tombs of the Erased) after 9 months of waiting (The developers assure players it won't take this long for future leagues/patches) changing some QOL features and adding a lot of content for players to sink into it.

Alas, there is always improvement to be done to almost every system but given this is a development team who met on online forums and were looking to want to make a solid ARPG they would be happy to play, I'd say this game is overall a testament to their great ideas and has the potential to thrive in the now seemingly growing competitive ARPG market. It is a great time to be a ARPG gamer and these folks have made an impact for sure.

Little side note: if your looking for visceral or "tight" combat you may find LE lacking in comparison to POE or Diablo. but IMO it makes up for it with great systems and enjoyable build variety.

P.S.S. - This game is a BARGAIN of a price compared to other titles. Support the devs they are cookin.

Last Epoch nails the balance between depth and simplicity. Combat is smooth and hits right. Build-crafting is very intuitive and allows for creativity since the majority of builds are viable. Active devs that actually take community feedback. This game is in its infancy and is only getting better with time.

Doesn't insult your intelligence like D4, doesn't require a PHD like PoE1, is more fun currently than PoE2. With the new update coming April 2nd the endgame looks like it'll be even more enjoyable. The devs are also very community driven, often polling and implementing the most popular options, as well as holding dev streams every friday and answering community questions.

great game just keeps loosing interest in it because its too easy

Last Epoch is my favorite ARPG of all time. The deep build customization, satisfying combat, and great endgame make it worth every penny

Last Epoch hooked me instantly with its deep build system and satisfying combat. Worth every minute spent

The complexity of this games hits a sweetspot for me. It is not overly complicated (looking at you, PoE1), but you still have a lot of flexibility with your build. This is the best Hack'n'Slay on the market for my liking. In particular, the early end game is a lot of fun! 9/10

Hundreds of hours of fun and finally a second season.... No PoE 0.2.0 yet, No PoE excitement going on.... DIV too easy / "based" or whatever the children say nowadays.... What else do you need? Get going!

A fantastic game, from start to finish (if you can call it that way, it's an endless loop ARPG :D). Recommended it to my friends, recommending here

great game its got a lil Diablo and a lil POE

It's a pretty great ARPG. I like it more than Diablo personally, mostly because I think the endgame is better. Not to mention DIablo ripped off some of the mechanics from this game.

great game, lots of fun. one of the best and most forgiving crafting systems in any arpg i've ever played.
feels more engaged than d4 (and lots more build wiggle room), but being less complex, easier to approach than POE. It still has fantastic class diversity and identity.

This game is really cool. So many cool combos you can make

ported to town to sell/make room for a huge loot drop from some lizard thing.. it all disappears.... im good on this.
its fine if you get it on a deep discount. otherwise just stick to the already established good arpgs.

Really like that the game has many playable builds, all look fun and exciting! Campaign is about the right length, progress feels good. Combat is amazing, crafting is great, I can log on knowing i'll have a good time.

I can't stand the 'Lost Connection' issues anymore, I've been trying to play this game again for months and I get this constantly, this is the only game I have any sort of connectivity problem. Tried multiple solutions but it should not be on me to make the game work as intended, I'll change my review if this ever gets fixed as I give up
P.S.: absolutely laughable to see devs in the forums recommending players to both use and not use a VPN at the same time

Nice game with very strong perspective to become one of the best in the genre.

Just want more. Playing the game for the first time was pretty cool. then after having to do the whole story over and over again just to play a new toon gets really old really fast. Let us Skip the story and put in some sort of adventure mode or something. Something else that would be nice is an option to change the appearance of each Class. (Not just an outfit)

Way too much loots. Legendary too restrictive. Crafting too limiting.

The gameplay itself is okay, it's sort of a carbon copy of Diablo 4? The biggest issue is getting the game to run. I press play and it doesn't open. I've looked online for fixes (of which there are dozens of suggestions) and still it won't run. If you run/close/run/close/run/close/run it will eventually be like "OH you want me to launch the .exe! Okay!" and lots of online comments about there not being support or a fix... So I mean... If they don't care about the game, why should we?

In the ARPG genre Last Epoch stays somewhere in the middle between Path of Exile and Diablo in terms of complexity. The game is very well polished and feels good to play.

One of the best things about the game is how easy it is to respec your build, if for some reason you feel like you need to change its easy to do so. The only fixed decision is the subclass that you choose somewhere around level 20.

I was really looking forward to this game before its release. Having played multiple titles in this genre—from Diablo 1-4 and Titan Quest to Path of Exile—I had extremely high hopes and expectations for Last Epoch. Unfortunately, despite its initial promise, the game left me feeling disappointed overall.

**Pros:**
• **Great Effects:** The visual and sound effects are genuinely impressive, adding a strong atmospheric punch.
• **Interesting Storyline:** The narrative concept is intriguing and has potential to engage, hinting at a rich lore behind the gameplay.

**Cons:**
• **Very Slow Progression:** The pace at which you advance feels lethargic, which detracts significantly from the overall experience.
• **Repetitive Gameplay:** Over time, the gameplay loop becomes redundant, making the adventure feel more like a chore than an engaging challenge.
• **Chaotic Quest and Map Systems:** The quest and map design is so disorganized that I often felt lost—half the time I wasn't sure where to go or what to do next.
• **One-Dimensional Characters and Dialogues:** The characters and dialogues lack depth, leaving them feeling flat and unmemorable.
• **Uninteresting Crafting System:** The crafting mechanics fail to spark any real interest or add meaningful value to the game.

Overall, while Last Epoch has its moments of brilliance in effects and story ideas, it ultimately falls short in execution. The slow progression and repetitive gameplay, coupled with a disjointed quest system and shallow character development, make it hard to recommend—especially when compared to the rich experiences offered by other games in this genre.

Honestly, it's pretty easy! But you know what: I like it! Finally a game I can beat and not feel not super frustrated playing.
Also: OMG, the game actually explains all of its rules and terminology to you?!!! What a revolutionary idea! (I'm being sarcastic because I hate how long it has taken the industry to do this. Get with it, PoE2! Thank you, 11th hour games!)

if you like diablo games or games like that youll love this- its interactive and fun the story line is captivating and good, a little confusing but theres nothing wrong with that.
the colour scheme is vibrant at times and dark and gloomy at others which is eye appealing and the classes customization makes you wanna play every character like 100 times just to see everything you can do

If you love ARPGs, you NEED to play this It's not a game you'll fall in love with at first because it's not designed that way. You'll feel like it's just another ARPG with cool graphics and monsters to kill. But then you start discovering the insanely deep skill specialization system, layers upon layers of character customization, the BEST crafting in the entire genre, and suddenly it's your favorite game to play.

Line up 10 archers and unless you template copy, not 2 of them will be the same. The story is original but not Oscar worthy, the graphics are good but not great, you can't chose sex or any visual traits for your characters so that is very disappointing, but the actual character development makes up for anything else.

The skills that you chose to level up, the traits that you chose level up, the gear that you find/craft and use, and how you actually play your character makes for such fun unique builds that including my play time on the Steam Deck (works flawlessly) while traveling, I put over 70 play hours without touching another game.

Kill, loot, repeat hasn't been this fun in a long time.

Stumble upon this gem while trying to look for a game that has a similar vibe as Torchlight. This game feels closer to home compared to PoE (too complex) and Diablo (too grindy). Combined with little jokes here and there make it fresh and fun to play after back home.

I’m not a big fan of grinding stuff and not a big fan of trying so hard on things especially after a hard day at work, so… This feels right for me ^^

A great ARPG with few flaws, however the game has been out for basically a year now and they still have god awful optimisation for some areas. I have a decent PC that's well above the recommended specs and yet in certain areas i'm bordering single digit frames on low-medium settings.
Since it's been out for more or less a year now and they still have yet to address this it's very hard to recommend the game, which is very sad cause the game feels great outside of the optimisation. skills feel varied and unique, and skill synergies are insane. The environment is pretty varied and map layouts are top notch! you don't have to do the typical arpg thing of having to run through the campaign 49 times just to reach the end game, they have added a way to skip alot of that for runs after the first.

if the game didn't have performance issues in certain areas i'd hands down say that LE is a top 3 arpg, but with the amount of issues i'm having with the frames i can't even recommend it.

This is a very good arpg with great ideas and the devs clearly know and love the genre.
However this is not a full release, this is a early access that got the 1.0 tag slap onto it.
The amount of bugs for a supposedly "1.0" are very concerning, and most importantly (and more worrying) are the technical issues it has: memory leaks, memory consumption (it consumes around 10gb of ram), high vga temps, and the worst offender of all, FPS drops. I am a new player that hasnt finished the campaign and i had to stop playing because i constantly get fps drops that ruin the experience.
Lastly keep in mind that the main campaign (story) is not finished, if you had doubts about it read other peoples reviews.
If you are looking to scratch that arpg itch casually for a few hours the game can help you with that (this was my case), however if you want a game to dedicate many hours i suggest think about it carefully and read as many reviews as possible before making a decision.

This is how you make an engaging ARPG. No bloat, no wasted mechanics—just pure, refined action with an addictive progression loop. I'm slowly getting addicted

This game is MAGIC!!! The BEST stash tab and loot filter system i have seen in an ARPG to date. The Idol system, class and mastery system are great and a breath of fresh air. They are complemented very well with it's skill system, which all three together make for quite an in-depth imagination of said class fantasy. Keep up the good work. Last Epoch is a much appreciated and welcome addition to the Golden age Of ARPG's.

I could give this a positive review if we could skip the campaign as its hands down the worst i've ever experienced in an ARPG.

+ End game has a good amount of content
+ Excellent options for builds.
+ Good graphics

- Characters are forgettable.
- Pacing is all over the place.
- Forced to play through the campaign twice for two characters and forgotten it already.
- Couldn't bring myself to do it again.

Runs poorly on a good rig and the graphics are just in general kinda... blurry?
Anyway, the gameplay is cool and i like the format, but it gets dull pretty fast. Everything is just a tad bit too easy imo.

There's a reason this game boomed as much as it did. It's like they took all good features of other ARPGs, put them together nicely, and on top of that came up with their own unique mechanics that elevate the experience even more. 9 out of 10, and that's only because I don't wanna spoil them (GIVE US MORE CONTENT!!!)

This game has grown a lot over the years, in a lot of very positive ways.
This game is like if you blended the good parts of D3/D2 with many of the good parts and greater customisation of PoE1.
I genuinely love this game.

The way Skill selection and Class+Subclass work is a really fun combo to make building feel really unique and versatile.
There are of course meta outliers that scale harder, faster and better than others, so get played by a lot of people. But for the most part, any skill can be played to a few hundred corruption, if you build it right and don't face tank everything.

Genuinely think this game hits a lot of the marks D3/D4 completely missed, and the things that PoE dropped the ball on.

The skills are, for the most part, incredibly fun. You can turn some melee attacks into ranged nuke spells, you can turn some spells or melee into totems, you can turn some bow attacks into proc on-hits for other attacks, etc etc. There are just so many options to play in different ways. I'd genuinely recommend anyone give this game a try, if you were a fan of any of the diablos or poe1.
(if you're a fan of poe2 you're probably unsalvageable as a human) ;)
