This builds is based around Void Knight! Run around with a wand + shield and 0 uniques and deal as good as damage as if you had on a 2 handed staff or were Duel wielding! Devouring orbs take care of the AoE while Smite hits single targets for massive damage! Super tanky and can easily push arena or corruption very high!

This build looks so good. I love any devouring orb build that gets uploaded as purple explosions everywhere is awesome!
A quick question though, the screenshots of the passives show Acolyte pictures instead of Sentinel? The normal screenshots I see from the video so I’ve been looking at those.
I watched the video and mainly I’m glad to see when you included Rebuke in the skill list. It’s a great idea but I hardly ever see it in any builds so it’s nice to see it as one of the five main. Having a panic button especially when surrounded by mobs or eating a boss attack is great. I need to try this build with a new void knight now.
It’s probably not really a build you level, it’s a build you respec to.
You’ll have to level with Vengeance or Rive till you can switch to that. Or level up to 60+ then respec.
You’ll certainly need to level for the first bit as something else until you unlock Smite, but you should be good after that. I’ve certainly levelled as a VK caster entirely after unlocking Smite before.
I can recommend leveling with Void Cleave and Erasing Strike, using Warpath while those skills are on cooldown. Especially if you have the unique two-handed sword Dreamthorn, it makes leveling a breeze.
If Devotion is so good with the Paladin smiter build, how come it isn’t used on this build? Even without the lighting dmg and penetration, it should still double the damage.
Devotion gives adaptive spell damage per missing mana, so if you’re on low or negative mana you can get an aweful lot of flat damage for your Smite. I guess it depends how much vitality you have as to whether it’s worth loosing some more % void, void pen & 2 defensive affixes.
You need to level as melee until you unlock Smite at lvl 20 (ish, actually 20 points in the Sentinel tree). Swapping immediately to Smite might be a bit rough, but the double cast node is awesome and keeping upgrading your staff is essential (put cast speed/spell damage as prefixes and push them as far as you can). As much adaptive spell damage as you can get is essential.
The VK gets a 40% chance for echoing which is awesome and is effectively additive to the double cast node so ~76% of the time you’ll get free Smites. The Pally can get more mana for more Devotion-based damage and can get heals from Smite.
Thanks! So if I’m roughly 55 and have access to all the skills but none of the gear yet since I’ve been lvling as void cleave / erasing strike, is it worth swapping now or try to collect some void gear first?
