Ultimate Void Caster Gets More Balls! VK 0.8.1b

Are you sure you have the correct number of passive points for Builder Link?
It doesn’t seem to be correct, so please fix it :smiley:

Why is it not correct? He has 2 passives unspent, nothing wrong with that…

Fixed.

I’ll be honest, i didnt know you could push P and put in passives that you didnt actually have ingame lol. This explains why people ask what the last 1 or 2 points are alot lol.

tanks.

open the VK tree, the Time Legion appears to be 0/10.
Is it a problem with my environment?

It is a grievous error, not making your builds for max level with only the best possible gear (being 4x t7 affixes, naturally)!

How do you play around with the anoying as f… teleport of Volatile Reversal. The skills gives such great buffs but the playstyle gives me headache. Stand still and wait or get teleported back to “anywehre” you dont want to be now.

Is there any way to play around that mechanic? i would love have a “non teleport” node :frowning:

I for now took abysal echos on autocast:
You get a nice 75% void res but it seems to be very hard to procc abyssal form - because the damage seems to be very poor. If you manage to proc abyssal form you would be able to get all the great buffs of volatile kind of without “teleporting” …

So one work around i have found is using right before lunge is off cooldown so if I teleport back i cam lunge forward again
But yeah a no teleport node for 50% less buff node woild be nice but takes away the theme of the skill which is suppose to be volatile

:frowning:

Is Abyssal Echos really so bad you cant make it work?

I havent touched abyssal echoes yet this patch. Perhaps ill work it into the version of this build that utilizes Sigils as well and drop VR.

You said sigils … panic.
Dropping one anoying skill to pick up the most anoying skill ingame was not my intention ;)(at least this has an “on kill procc”).

I will toy around with the echo in the next days and try to make it work … getting a kill every 8 seconds should be doable i hope.

Echo maybe like this?

IM trying to remember the nodes in that tree why do you want a kill every 8 seconds? for the abyssal form? does abyssal echoes do enough damage to get the kill?

Thats the big question … can i get it to kill ONE thing every 8 seconds to procc the abyssal form…

If you can do this you will get fantastic buffs on an instant cast with no “anoying addon”.

30% cast speed, 20% movment speed, 75% void res … and the “increased regen” if thats worth anything.

Bhuldar’s Wrath
States it can not be gamled? Is that incorrect?

Great build btw :slight_smile:

Nope, that’s a drop from a monolith quest echo boss.

The generic VK caster was one of the first builds I made and also largely the reason I dont play this game much because I play on a controller and you cannot use numlock trick and actually even move or use any skills, you are just locked to the floor - dramatically decreasing build variety since cant be bothered to press buff skills constantly every few seconds. PoE is bad enough with flasks and we cant automate it there legally

Its kind of sad that every Sentinel class feels forced to take sigils, which IMO is one of the most awkward and clunky skills in the game. I’ve played 4 sentinels in the past 2 patches. 1 of them didn’t use sigils, and it just felt like such a noticeable drop in both survivability and damage compared to if I was using them that I got frustrated.

Abyssal Echoes is great for low life swarm mobs, it does wipe them out pretty fast and easy, but it becomes next to useless on bosses (except maybe emperor because he keeps spawning the zombos). It relies on echoing off other mobs, so if its a single target… damage is very weak. Hella cool concept for a skill, very weak in reality unfortunately. It is really fun on maps that spawn hordes of the beetles and flies, because it will literally keep chaining infinitely across multiple screens (and lagged the hell out of my computer, despite it being quite new and powerful), which was hillarious. If abyssal form was a % proc on hit buff, it’d make a huge difference, and make it a viable and significantly less annoying alternative to sigils.

As is I’m kind of tired of sentinel, largely thanks to sigils. 3 characters in the past 3 months that have to spam sigils constantly kind of wore me out on it. So… back to BD, lol.

I just put up a warpath build for paladin that does not use sigils and it does amazing without them.

If you come back to sentinel.i recommend giving it a try

I looked at the VK variant that you posted, and that one did use sigils, so I guess I just didn’t watch the pally one. Point is that most sentinel builds are just “better” with sigils, and take a bit of a hit if you drop them. There’s no real viable/competative alternative to it either, and that hurts build variety.

I’d love to see something like Rebuke or Judgement get a bit of a rework to them, since they’re pretty infrequently used skills (I’ve never seen Rebuke on a build posted on the forums, at least not in the past few months).

Anyway, I’ve played so many paladins in the past few patches that I’m really itching for a good VK, but haven’t really found anything that works well without sigils.

If the on kill chance on sigils would be significantly higher that would be a first aid to make them less painfull at least for mapping… or just a cast refreshes all stacks node like e.g. firebrand gets…

I run around with revanching stance sometimes…
Does nothing but at least causes me no pain and looks fancy…
