Hey perry, i’m playing this build too starting from Li jack version, and you ended up with same passives and skills as me (except anvil stance). For physical damage multiplier i suggest you get it on your weapon instead of attack speed. You want to maximise the efficiency of the rive node that doubles dmg multipliers from weapon. Also, as you stated, you desperately need armor shred on weapon. With it dmg just skyrockets (with a t5 on weap my echoes crit for 2M) and probably you need increased armor shred effect on helm. Love this build! Cheers
Sheesh fancy seeing you here. still digging your build carrying me through the late 300s How’d you feel about Bleeding Heart? I kept thinking about it after u posted ur build on his channel cause they have the same implicits as the Jade necklace but more leech. Granted i’ve only a 1 lp version with (luckily) Frailty. Just wondering if you’d run it yourself if given a high LP drop.
Great video! I saw the same video you did a few weeks ago (remember seeing your comment there), and decided to try something like this out, and I was surprised by how much fun Ive had, definetly recommend for everyone that likes fast true melee builds. As for the increased damage problem, you could get 2 or more Adorned Rayeh Idols, they have a mod that gives up to 62% increased damage when a skill echos, and not only in the echoed skill, unlike Ornate Solar Idols. I'm currently only using one, with armour shred in the suffix. Another thing I'd test, is running exalted melee phys+crit on the weapon, since all the added is doubled, I think I'm having better results than with speed+crit. I'm still rocking the glass cannon version of the build tho, managed to get a +3 Rive Titans Heart, and got some decent armour, but thats it. I'm currently working on getting a exalted armor shred effect decent helmet, and a 2 or 3 LP bleeding heart... Even without those, this builds destroys T4 bosses (well, anything really). Hope you're having as much fun as I did.
been playing builds like this for weeks and its been hella fun! specifically the one you linked by Li Jack. love your take on it. really excited to try it out. oh and on the topic of sentinel…would you happen to have anything in mind for Forgeguard? struggling to find something great to go beyond 300 corruption (and im too much of an idiot to make my own builds good 😩)
since you scale with physical dmg wouldn't it be better for void cleave to go for blazing steel instead of spending 5 points into deadly omen? I think you can get way more dmg increase from physical affix then 125% + you will get additional ignite (bleed) stacks from riftflame. If I am wrong please correct me ^^
Thats a great idea! I don't have much actual-factual "% Inc Phys Damage" in my build, but if I could retool it, this would be something to try out. I was actually thinking about trying out Shield Rush too, because it has so many More Dmg Modifiers in its skill tree -- it might help the clear speed a bit.
Currently maining Void Knight and playing my own version of the ravaging aura build you have up here. I really like the concept for the Eternal Eclipse unique 2h sword. Is there a build that would make perfect use of it? Kind of mixture between fire and void dmg?
Hello, very nice video Thanks alot. I'd like to try out the void knight starter build. But i guess lastepochtools isn't showing it correctly. It says it's for an older version of the game and the skills used are not shown. Are these Builds still up to date?
yes, this Rive build is actually better now than it's been before. It gained a More Armour and More Damage modifier that are brand new. If you click "S" when in LETools, do the skills not show up?
Hi thanks for the Video. I really want to try this. It looks so awesome and i love melee builds. Is it possible leveling this from scratch? Or should i farm all those uniques first?
@ 5:43 you say "...and use this node , and then this node down here to get tons of physical penetration" Can you or anyone reading this tell me what he is talking about? Thanks. Flame drinkers on the rive tree?
@@PerrythePig Thanks man. I thought I was going crazy for a bit. What are the odds that the only node you don't visually show selecting, is the one that gets its name changed?
Great video Perry. I moved from a Reap/Erasing strike build on my VK as bosses were getting too hard to deal with. I saw LiJack's video a while back and moved to that build and this video takes it further for sure. I also have a Paladin being built around your 1H bleed/sigil explosion build. Is that build still viable in 0.9 and which one would you consider stronger between the two? Thanks!
Would a Manophage or whatever that sword you can feed other swords is called... Would one of those with flat crit and ignite chance work for this build? Does it have to be an axe? Would the extra DR while leeching be worth doing?
I was using an Odachi (crit multiplier implicit) originally for a reap/erasing strike build.. but once I moved to this build after watching LiJack's video I moved to a Bardiche because it has the chance to bleed implicit. Unfortunately swords can't get implicit chance to bleed on hit other than the suffix and it only goes up to 60% at T7. I had issues with the Reap/Erasing strike build on bosses which is why I moved to Rive ignite.
Probably vengeance, without looking at the math. Vengeance gives you two extra Less Dmg Taken modifiers, on top of being a Titan Heart Build as well. Anvil only gives you one Less modifier. This build has a higher damage ceiling, for sure.
@@PerrythePig I got lucky with a bardiche where i got to seal phys damage - very nice weapon - only thing is i realised it had increased % crit chance not melee crit chance - is melee crit chance better?
Hi, just converted a failed VK build to this build and so far so good. Quick question, i don't see crit strike avoidance. Am i missing something, or is there something in the build that makes us not really need it? Great video as always!
WELL I was trying out "Less Bonus Dmg From Crits" because we have the boot slot available + we're using a 2h weapon, where the suffix can appear. You could build it as a totally normal Crit Avoid character, just as well.
@@PerrythePig Thanks for the reply, i was just curious, how it was being dealt with. Really liking the build so far, feel a little squishy but i am still farming for the belt and a couple of blessings.
I wonder how this build would be using a Torkrefin's Hunger with 1LP. And with the LP using Ignite Chance.. seems liike it would be nuts if the proc effected ignite.
I recently leveled with 2h Melee Rive, rushing the Foe Cleaver Node. As soon as I got Healing Hands, speced it and took the nodes for Melee Attacks to proc Healing Hands, then converted HH to a melee attack later. It was a buttery smooth leveling experience.
Wonder if it could be worth in sentinel tree, speccing 3 points out of vitality and putting them into throwing axe. with how many attacks are going off, you'd probably get the 1 proc each second which would give 4 stacks of physical and fire shred from your points in the forge guard tree on the way to anvil stance
I like this build I want to try and avoid night but I'm a little intimidated, they seem like a class that is unique reliant. Are there many builds that I could use to get started on monos
Nah, if you'd like to play a Void Knight, this is a good place to be. Rive, Holy Trail Javalin, Hammer Throw, Warpath... There's tons of approachable builds that don't require unique items. Even this one here, if you had no uniques, you be having a good time. Without the Ignite Conversion Gloves, you might just use an Odachi Sword instead.
I have a t6 armor shred scythe with atk speed and crit multiplier. Is that still okay to use or would bardiche still out perform it? I also don't have any of the other uniques. Just getting to empowered.
@@sschwartz1488 the prefixes you're looking for are Melee Crit, Flat Phys, and Attack Speed. Technically, %Phys is good as well because it gets doubled, but those 3 affixes are so impactful. My ideal scenario would be like tier 6 or 7 attack speed on my gloves, then weapon with Exalted Melee Crit, Flat Phys, Ignite, Armor Shred, and sealed %Physical Damage (or swap with flat phys).
Thanks for this, I tried this too a few weeks ago. But got totally baited by the foe cleaver node. I wanted to maximise its value and took %physical damage and +melee physical on affixes, since they get doubled. But this lead me to go down the 100% crit on third strike node, which overall is not nearly as good as your build.
The build planner is what I recommend. The video is my current gear. Because there's no "export" function for online characters, I only provided the recommended planner.
im playing echo fire warpath with a bunch of split damage types lmao the sustain feels good with all the smites popping off but i get destroyed by big bursty hits
Ya know, I wonder if you swapped Void Cleave for Shield Rush -- with all those More Multipliers it has. Might feel good for clearing out trash monsters.

the node is called "Execution" in the Rive skill tree.
@@PerrythePig Has it been changed to "Flame Drinker's Blade"? Because I can't for the life of me find a node called "Execution" on the Rive tree.
oh, weird. Must have been renamed. Yes, that's the node.
@@PerrythePig Thanks man. I thought I was going crazy for a bit. What are the odds that the only node you don't visually show selecting, is the one that gets its name changed?
Nice build, playing it now, any loot filter ?
In several videos you mention a 'sealed T1 affix'... And I am not really sure how to get that to work. Where could I find that info?

@@PerrythePig Nice can t wait
Has he posted a loot filter for this built yet?
Id like to know all the Idols you used :)
Perry - I was looking at this build as well as your vengance build you did a little while ago - which build has more damage and which is more tanky?

@@PerrythePig nice! And did you finish the anvil tree before finishing void?
@musoka1263 I would suggest getting the anvil stance once you get to around level 50+, UNLESS you are playing on HC you may want it earlier 😅

The build already has 450% penetration on single target -- you probably don't need much more in the penetration/shred department.
Hey, has this build changed at all with 0.9.2?
nope -- it's still excellent

Build Planner shows no Crit Avoidance and 30% Endurance only.
How much Crit Avoidance and Endurance is recommended for this build?
100% crit avoid and 60% endurance, like every build. I was cheeky with my in-game character, and used Fiery Dragon Boots instead of Crit Avoid.
@@PerrythePig Thank you for your response. I have much fun playing this build. 🙂
I use anvil stance on paladin Manifest Armor, since I dont deal damage, it's basically just DR for me.
