A faster Erasing Strike variant

I’ve been running this over the maxroll Erasing Strike w/ Healing Hands, Anomaly, Devouring Orb, Symbols of Hope

(no I don’t have all of this gear yet!)

  • Void Cleave
  • Erasing Strike
  • Volatile Reversal
  • Symbols of Hope
  • Abyssal Echoes (skill points only, not on bar)
  • Lunge (on bar, no skill points)

This version is a bit more focused on mapping speed, I love to zip around the map and leave destruction in my wake. I want more zoom with my bonk and this version provides that.

Void Cleave means using Darkstride, which adds insane movement speed.

I have Volatile Reversal set up so it’s two forward jumps. The first jump is 6m distance, second jump is the full 20m, but doesn’t count as a Traversal skill.

I get two jumps every 4s. Each jump autocasts Abyssal Echoes, gives one Void Essence, and adds an Echo to my next. That on top of getting around the map faster.

Abyssal Echoes doesn’t require a skill slot, so I use the spare slot for Lunge which covers a ton of distance when mapping.

Void Cleave, Volatile Reversal, Lunge, and Evade all count as Movement skills so their cooldowns are reduced by the Sentinel passive node.

Between two VR hops, Spirit Step Evade, Lunge, and the movement speed from Darkstride, it’s more built for mapping speed than the common Erasing Strike without sacrificing damage.

I would probably play something closer to the maxroll build for Uber Aberroth but I like this build more for all-purpose mapping.

Just wanted to share. Erasing Strike enjoyers can try it out, just have to move points out of Crit Chance and get a pair of Darkstride.

Can you post a video zooming through an echo or two ?
