Playing my first character, I chose to follow Boardman31’s guide on the sentinel paladin “Regifter”.
So far it’s an easy, simple and really rewarding experience. I’m basically zapping around the screen right clicking hordes of enemies while simultanously triggering explosions everywhere.
Spec into Temporal Cascade and spec into all the nodes to make warpath cost no mana in the Warpath tree. Get smite cast on throw idols. Use Forgotten Knight sword (has base void spell damage and haste) you can use 2 or go shield. It’s a lazy build, decent survivability, that is super fun for monolith grinding. You just spin with orbs hitting around you, throws are triggering void smites from the heavens, a lot of void rifts and future strikes poppin’ off. It’s super aesthetic :).
And here I thought I was being original, definitely my favorite build as it’s pretty akin to my old Ngahamu’s Flame Cyclone Chieftain from PoE. Spin around having proc’d balls fly everywhere.
Although, using Keen Idols. Aside from the axe throw in the sentinel tree, what else is being ‘thrown’? Is there an interaction I’m not seeing/don’t know about?
Harvest in conjunction with Reaper Form was the reason i bought the game in the first place and is still, to this day my most favorite and strongest build.
Favourite Build: Max Crit Multishot
And i really like to play with Ice Barrage, it just needs some more love from EHG i think.
PS:
Does anyone truly KNOW whether (or not) “Chance To Cast Smite When You Hit With Throwing Attacks” and the Sentinel Passive “Axe Thrower” are working together?
Yes, and if a Future Strike (Void Knight passive) is applied by a throwing attack (be that an axe or Throwing Shield/Hammer), that Future Strike can also proc Smite (it appears that it inherits the “throwing attack” tag).
I am also not sure if any1 made a guide of a similar build. (I don’t think so)
Since i personally don’t use guides i generally never wanted to create them myself.
I do however have the intend of maybe doing a guide, once my Unique Design Collab Unique is in the game, to do a “preview” of it, containing informations of the build i am using it on.
I can give you some Outlines here.
The skills i am using are:
Harvest, Reaper Form, Transplant, Bone Curse, Death Seal
Weapon i am using is a 2H Melee Weapon. (You could use a Staff, to slightly shift the power from Harvest to Bone Curse and Death Seal’s Death Wave, if you want to do that)
