Can any damaging ability echo?
My plan was to roll a Void Knight with Multistrike and use echoes. But when I read the skill description on Void Cleave, it says “Can be echoed by Void Knights.” Meanwhile, Multistrike says no such thing. Does this mean that echo is limited to only some specific skills, and that Multistrike cannot echo?

Ugh. So Multistrike cannot echo then I assume? Would be helpful if some information was actually given about this.
It says on the Void Knight description:
“Your melee attacks, throwing attacks and void spells have a 10% chance to be repeated by an echo 0.5s later (excludes movement abilities and Anomaly).”
So why would Multistrike be excluded from echoing? I assume that it isn’t. But starting out a new season and not finding out until I’m lvl 15+ already kinda sucks.
Can anyone confirm?
I could be wrong.
I’ve only noticed void skills echo

That’s an extreme reaction.
I do not know how echoes work. I only know that when I played VK I noticed, Rive, warpath, and all void skills could echo. I’ll wait for somebody else to comment who has more expertise on the topic.
Why dont you just equip multistrike and see what happens? If it echoes you will see it as a purple ghost repeating the attack. You can increase your chance to echo in the VK tree.
I know, the thing is I’m playing with some friends and I won’t find out if my build works or not until I gain the skill at lvl 15 or whatever it is. Rerolling then is just wasting our time and complicating things.
If the class text description is wrong then it’s not an overreaction. They had years to write a proper line of text that is more or less the only thing you have to go by when making a fundamental class choice.
Wait … Why would you reroll if multistrike can’t echo?
You can change skills and respec on the fly for no consequence… you can even respec your mastery now in Season 2. No reason to ‘reroll’
Just assume that if it says 10% chance for melee attacks to echo than multistrike will in fact echo.
Yes, but if my current idea for a build doesn’t work, I’d prefer to play some other class.
I appreciate your input and trying to help. I’ll just assume that it works and see how it goes.
“Your melee attacks, throwing attacks and void spells have a 10% chance to be repeated by an echo 0.5s later (excludes movement abilities and Anomaly).”
Multistrike is a melee attack, so it can echo. It is not excluded as it is does not have the movement tag and it is definitely not Anomaly. Their wording is just fine. Good luck with your build.
I just watched some videos and saw that multistrike DOES echo. Sorry for the confusion.

Awesome. Thank you for taking your time. I really appreciate it.
