Hey everyone, here is the loot filter I'm using for this currently: www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/view/OBjer5QD It is a pretty general filter that shows all exalted items but recolors those you might prioritize for this build. It also shows all idols since most will be collecting a variety of things at the start of the season. For experimental affixes it will only show exalted boots w/ the ward per traversal skill which you'll want to slam into a pair when possible. The updated video will include a much tighter and specific filter. It's also worth mentioning that I have been experimenting with Abyssal Echoes (proc from VC) instead of Anomaly. This allows you to exchange a skill with a cast time for one that auto procs. Abyssal Echoes itself does very little damage with this setup but it buffs your ES and VC by applying a slow and this can be synergized with another talent in the lower left of Erasing Stike for more dmg vs. slow. This setup has been about 2x the damage output. You get slightly less healing from healing hands going this route but gain survivability by applying slow to targets. Overall, it has been a win/win so far but requires a larger mana pool (about 600+) to sustain.
What a coincidence! I followed your frost claw nova build on release and came back to LE on 1.1 and started a Void Knight going this exact same build! I'm already end game with it but definitely not min-maxed so this is perfect!
Started this out tonight and was reminded of the melee pain but thankfully once i actually hit 20 the fun began as i had a darkstrides and dreamthorn stashed. 😃
If you happen to be MG they are going for very cheap (at least for now). There are also some exalted weapons that are better than World Splitters w/o LP at lower levels and gear.
Haha, yea it's really fun to slash your way around with VC and then bonk things into oblivion with ES. Just need to improve the survivability to push further. Hopefully updated in a few days!
Like this is the way, remove the cooldown on erasing strike, pick up the new damage reduction boots, a couple red rings. And this should be able to handle 1k corruption.
Great video! I just have a question because I see this played in 2 different ways: Why go pally + healing and Sigils over going Abyssal echoes and Reverse, echoes which shreds armor w/ void cleave. And not going forge guard > pally for things like "Crushing blow", "champion of the forge", flat 10 str, and guardian for hp. I feel like going defiance is not that great in my eyes. This is of course when we get world splitter, I change my talents on ES to make it 100% crit chance with Apathy's Maw, etc.
Mana is my number one problem but what if i use volatile reversal rather than healing hands? it will solve the lack of mana problem against a harbinger or a monolith boss since it can reset our mana back to full
Volatile Reversal is perfectly fine. I plan to use the experimental affix mana gained per missing ward after traversal which is the reason I have avoided VR so far.
This was my first character of the cycle, so I was using a general loot filter and apologize I didn't include one. I will work on one today and post it in the pinned comment when possible.
Hi! Love your videos, great one as ever. Looking at the HP and armor, does this risk any one shots at higher corruption? Or another way, how does this feel to play at ~300 corruption? I'm trying to compare this build to the other one using natural crit rather than void cleave crit
Hey, appreciate the comment. This build will need to beef up its tankiness to go above 300 corruption imo. There is an option to obtain some ward through the experiemental affix of ward per missing mana placed on boots if you get LP. Critical strike avoidance is also a very strong stat for this build in terms of defense. I will make an updated guide soon as possible and detail how I improve the survivability.
Yes, this is likely the cases above 300 corruption or so. I will make an update when possible and it will almost certainly have some added survivability for pushing.
I started to go down the bottom left of the strike tree with the echos and no cooldown early on, but found I was spending WAY too much mana, i'd be in the negative with one use. I switched to just having an extra charge and it seemed to help. Is the echos node in the strike tree necessary?
Tried it from other guide, looks and feels good to one slam KO, but feels bad to die from 1-2 boss hits. Very squishy build yet has lower dps than mana stacking sorc, where's balance EHG?
Vigorous Idols and Vit + resist will add a good amount of survivability to help with that. You can also use a sentinel helm with reduced damage from crits. In general, I will focus on improving the survivability for the update in a few days.
can u link me a filter for the same build but with lower starting .. like i am starting now so need low lvls too for afiex and some low gear other than exalted
i mean i am new to the game and started playing a week ago played a totem build but there are many downside for that build bugged items and low scaling of upheavel totem which dont take cast speed or attack speed if converted into totem so looking to play my game 2nd character
Yea thats what i was thinking, VR + Abyssal Echo's, the dmg and armor shredding is imo so much better then that. also think going into pally tree is troll
I am so sorry that I didn't include that. I have been using a general filter showing all exalted items since this is the first character on the cycle for me. I will work on one today when I get a chance and post it in the pinned comments.
