well your relic slot is empty, i would put something in that slot but your defense look fine, to make wave 100+ i would say try to play it more as a kite build, run away and use obstacles for the ranged enemies.
You are missing the absolute core item that makes the whole build concept shine.
Dont worry for arena farm the mono for the scepter
This or Void Knight Decimator?
Void Knight, natch! Who doesn’t like freaky black echos repeating your attacks 40% of the time?
This looks amazing!
Sadly I dont have a Paladin, just a Void-Knight…how would you specc for this as a VK with Anomaly instead of Holy Aura?
Thanks a lot for the exellent guides!
At a guess I’d go with something like this:
I played both types (very many parts of gear are the same)
The VK has TONS more damage and leech - but it is harder to gear cause pala gets so much free res and CA. But if you have the gear 100% go VK.
(the first build i use legacy items on because it so hungry for gear - i feel dirty i opend the forbiden stash tab - but its so much fun.
So what if I want to kill more than 1/10th of my enemies?
So weird, I have soulfire equipped and it didn’t show up!
You also need the scepter. You currently have undisputed on and its the sceptre that gives the 200% ignite on all those juicy void hits allowing for the rive to stack 1000’s% of physical damage. Its the main thing for the build to work as shown.
Just finished off Lagon, onto dragons, then Gaspar right? He is lvl 90 timeline? I am looking forward to that scepter trust me! Should I swap undisputed for something else that will help me push damage a bit more? The more I play this, the more it is my favorite of all 10 character builds I have going and I really love my spriggan, but the speed on this and just setting everything on fire with blaze idols is priceless!
I would recommend switched to anything with at least some IGnite chance on hit, But if your not struggling at all, undisputed will do ya just fine till you find the scepter.
I just started LE two days ago (from PoE) - loving the guide.
Have some noob questions -
Which stats to ideally look for?
Does everything scale off of fire damage? Looks like the gear you have is all about +melee damage with sword, and ignite chance?
Also do you recommend any loot filters?
I was looking at creating one for this with the specific item bases and stats highlighted but I don’t know which stats to escalate?
Also - what to use if I have ZERO uniques while I level a character?
Very impressed with your build guides.
Thanks very much!
Cap resists, get as much life as possible and then add strength or physical damage modifiers. You could also go for +ignite chance for items where it is available (such as the belt or helm).
No, it scales off physical damage. Devouring Orbs and Abyssal Echoes are there to proc ignite effects, but Rive consuming ignites stacks your physical damage to absurd levels. So, while you will be doing Void and Fire damage at times, this build is still carried by its Physical damage. Because the Physical damage % scales into the thousands, adding base damage, rather than percentage damage can be helpful as well. Of course, once you acquire the set items, the only way to do this is through passive nodes in the Sentinel/Void Knight trees.
Use an Axe main hand and Sword off hand so you take advantage of the full 60% attack speed from the Sentinel talent. Then, just follow the same guide to gearing. You won’t have Gaspar’s insane number of ignite procs from void damage, but you can still play the build the same way. Rive will still be extremely strong, even if you’re only consuming a modest amount of ignites. Soulfire (Relic) can drop during the campaign and you can craft weapons with ignite chance if you want to up the number of stacks your Rive is consuming (though base damage may be better).
finally got the blade of the forgotten knight from gambling. And its even a good roll. Can’t believe i got that lucky
Thanks very much for the guidance! Very Helpful!
How do I dual wield?
Hey, Welcome to the forums… There is a node on the passive tree to enable dual wielding for each class… slightly different for each but its there.
PPl where i find filter for this build???
How are others who play this build doing in empowered Monoliths? I cruised through regular, but got one shot on Rahyeh with 2700 life, capped resistances, 100% crit chance avoid and max leech nodes in the Void Knight 2nd tier/Rive Global node. I even have 525 life regen per second. Armor was around 6k.
I’m going to tinker with more armor and some endurance/endurance threshold. Maybe I’m just not doing leech right because I’ve always struggled (in higher arena) to sustain with leech using Rive (as opposed to the more defensive Vengeance). Curious if others are successfully face tanking empowered bosses and what your prime defensive layers are for this build.
