Primalist Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)

"A warrior from the north who has seen the horrors of war first hand, the Primalist seeks communion with the power of Eterra, the power of nature itself."

In Last Epoch, the Primalist is the warrior attuned to nature. The class is well-known for being capable of absorbing damage while causing significant destruction. He can choose from being a shaman, a caster who uses totems and the power of nature to slay his foes. As the Beastmaster, he can call forth the beasts that use claw, stinger, and teeth to hasten the demise of even the biggest moster. The Druid can contort his very body to embrace the form of nightmarish beasts with their own unique abilities. All of these have their own unique playstyles and offer players a host of abilities to choose from to purge the evil from the land.

Regardless of the Mastery you choose to spec into, the Primalist class comes with a handful of skills that can be used by all three. These skills are either unlocked by player level, or by placing Passive Points into the Primalist Skill Tree.
