This…
Rive is totally viable for playing VK… i just don’t like it.
Choosing echos with 60 mana per hit… it’s a very wrong choice.
But is there… and i want it.
The damage itself it’s huge , even if your char it’s stuck in place for 2 sec, it’s a great dmg source.
The play style it’s dumb… void cleave / erasing strike - and it’s timed. like, really timed.
This is the issue.
It’s robotic… i can just simply add a bot to play for me.
Click that every 1.2 sec… and we win.
I don’t know, probably i’m wrong… it’s just it doesn’t feel right for me… and it’s also slow repeating mechanic.
NOT a spam skill to kill mobs… but a mechanic!
I can destroy the game with " Dancing Strikes", but i can only play slow motion, one of my favorite build… Void Knight.
Interesting. Indeed.
So I have been following this thread. Initially because I like that people give feedback in the feedback portion of the forum. Also because I plan on playing void knight at some point.
-I find it unfortunate that you shoot down anyone trying to explain anything or give any sort of options.
-I also find it unfortunate that a lot of people shoot down your original thought as though it’s garbage. You utilized a “feedback” feature of the forum to provide your feedback that you want more mana sustain for the skills you want to use as a void knight. Unfortunately, a lot of players treat people using feed back in the feed back section just to shoot them down even though the feedback section is more for devs.
-So I feel a bit split about your back and forth. At this point, I almost wish the feedback portion of the forums was disabled for players to respond. On the other hand, I get that the devs may want to hear user responses to feedback as that is also more information to collect.
-Personally, there are build ideas I have tried that do not work like I want them to, in multiple ARPGS. Because of this, I get people trying to point you on the path of “then use something that works” but I also get your point of “make EVERY idea work.” I think the latter is impossible though but I hope they compromise enough to at least make your build idea somewhat sustainable.
Cheers.
You´re talking about the time loop node from erasing strike, i guess. You can solve your mana issue by putting 3 points into essence of the end in the skill tree + void well in the passive tree. But for this to work you need to push your crit chance to 100%.
-I find it unfortunate that you shoot down anyone trying to explain anything or give any sort of options.
Don’t get this wrong… i just don’t like those options.
What options are there other than using skills that i simply don’t like , 
Build: Void Cleave, Erasing Strikes, Devouring Orb, Anomaly Abyssal Echoes.
This is my build.
And NO… i don’t accept that i should use any other skill just to make it playable.
I do already use the same items like everyone else… Aphaty’s Maw, Darkstride… etc.
I don’t get it… everyone says… duuude , use that, do that, and if you look on YT, you can see that all people use the same things, same skills same shit,.
What if i don’t wanna use the usual.
Like i said, … FUKIT!
If you don’t like using the tools that are offered to you then perhaps it isn’t the class for you game play wise?
I don’t think it feasible that they design a character that every person wants to play, else it would take them many many years. I do thing that this game plays well, though I’ve not tried VK, as I don’t like the visuals and it looks clunky to me, so I e tried other classes instead.
I’ve a melee poison warlock and a 2h wielding Vampire rouge and I’m thinking a Van Helsing Rogue next with all the toys like dummy, net, ballista. So the game is very very flexible!!!
People have offered you advice and you’ve repeatedly rejected their help to the point that you are starting to look rude, entitled and a bit trolling to be honest. I do hope that you find peace somewhere in the game but unless you’re willing to adapt your approach you’ll always be unhappy.
I’m sure your feedback is appreciated but you need to be willing to help yourself and then others can help you too. 
Hope you find what you’re looking for, even if it isn’t within this game or genre.
Ok, have fun in PoE.
My latest non expensive crap:
something is missing here… but yeah, it’s the latest.
I’ll just add one more point, since OP says PoE lets you play whatever you want.
If you pick up, for example, Summon Ice Golem and then use 5 support gems that increase its mana cost to 150 mana, and then use auras to reserve 95% of my mana, suddenly I have no mana to even cast it once.
Stupid PoE that doesn’t let me use the skills I want and forces me to play the builds they want.

Dude, I know your problem, you can’t play without clarity skill gem.
@devs, please give a mana regeneration aura gem.
I’m not going to read the whole thread, but in case it wasn’t already mentioned, both Sentinel and Rogue have “mana on hit” nodes in the passive tree.
Sentinel: Time and Faith
Rogue: Sapping Strikes
The other 3 classes (Mage, Acolyte, Primalist) do not, but have other ways to generate or regenerate mana.

He refuse to hear.
The only way to satisfy him, it’s giving a clarity skill gem.

The TLDR is basically everybody saying that he’s picked the most expensive skills & refused to take any mana generators with his reply being “but I don’t wanna”.
Edit: sorry, I forgot, then throwing his toys out the pram saying that the devs need to make a massively-expensive-spender-only build viable/possible. 'Cause it’s everyone else’s fault…

Those of us who’ve been here for a very, very long time know that the Devs have said dozens (if not more) times that they won’t do that. They want the high mana skills to require intentional management.
C’est la vie.

This is the way.
It’s ok you don’t agree with that, but you have to respect.
And if this become a complicated thing to the point you don’t want to play, just quit.
If you think it’s a complete mistaken, take a ticket from steam and pick up your money back.
Or go Poe again.
