This build is my favorite build. I was dual wielding before and then used the staff before this, so far this version of yours has given me higher dps and consistent finish of the monolith. Void Knight Dark Cleric was the one I followed before seeing this video. I was thinking of some tweaks to it and then I found your build and tried all your skills and passives. I am loving it so far. Thanks again
Hey guys, had someone ask how I leveled this build. I put the planner here! I level with Hammer throw as most of your AOE comes from Devouring orb, which you don't get ill later. Make sure you put minus mana cost on rings ASAP, then you go for the Catapult/Ballista nodes on Hammer Throw tree first. This solves all your mana issues through the story. Other than that you grab throw speed/dmg and cap res on gear(nothing else matters). Your weapon doesn't matter at all, I leveled till 40 with the lv1 weapon you start with. You don't self cast smite at all with this leveling build, only used from the proc on lunge. Hope this helps! You can switch to all spells once you unlock Devouring orb and get the nodes Abyssal Emission and Dark Moon on the Devouring Orb tree. Grab 2 points in Sightless Star ASAP to help the mana sustain. Once you switch to spells, replace throw mods with spell mods and grab highest adaptive spell damage wand you have! LMK if you have other questions below. www.lastepochtools.com/planner/VBMWlPA7
@@jasonconfer8388 should still be in my vods on twitch around when I posted the video of me leveling this way. I smashed through the campaign with 0 issues so it’s hard for me to know what you had problems with. Let me know if you have specific questions and I would be happy to help further.
@@pinchingloaf Was just leaving a warning to others. The whole throwing hammer thing was really bad damage, it has awkward aiming issues esp on something that charges you. I've leveled dozens of characters in LE (hardcore... sigh) and this was pretty slow/rough. I think way better just do warpath with the void dmg and respec once you can switch to casting. I was really looking forward to trying the build out and may try again, please don't take my post as knocking the build, I do appreciate the effort you make.
@@jasonconfer8388 no worries at all man. Sorry you had a rough time leveling. I’m gonna be honest though, I’ve leveled with the planner I put there 3 times now(HC) and it was some of the fastest leveling I’ve had. Typically takes only a few hours to kill Lagon. Thinking maybe you just missed some of the damage affixes on the planner. If you have a build you’re more comfortable with leveling by all means I’d do that though.
@@pinchingloaf i leveled with the hammer method and they're prob referring to ruins of welryn/welryn docks, i believe those are around 16. that part is very rough. i didn't die in hc and once u get spiral hammers ur damage goes through the roof. but the ruin era welryn zones are pretty overtuned for most builds i've played around level 15-16. as a side note, i attempted to swap to devouring orb at around 32(as soon as i unlocked it), and i had to stop and do some gambling/crafting to be able to kill anything. it takes a bit more than the two devouring orb passives to be able to swap. after that, however, it was incredibly smooth leveling all the way to mono and still going strong.
@@pinchingloaf This helped a bit but still finding it really hard :) but I am 50 now anyway.. When do you recommend to switch to proper build from these throw hammers? Because I went into paladin passives I am lacking passives in knight tree to get skills. Should I respec paladin for now and go for this build ?
@@spartt4360 You can swap into the build now. You are mainly waiting till you get devouring orb as that is most of your AOE clear. Respec into VK tree to unlock devouring orb and prioritize grabbing the nodes Abyssal Emission and Sightless Star on that skills tree. That will make it feel good without eating too much mana. You then use smite to regain mana with the Time and Faith nodes in the base Sentinel tree. It is also VERY important you switch to a wand or sceptre with the highest amount of adaptive spell damage you can get at your level(lv 50 would be spriggan branch wand). Then just try and get some spell damage where you can on your gear. Hope this helps! LMK if you have any other questions.
This is a great build, I wanted the void knight to be good as its my first toon, felt most of the skills (even the new ones ) to be quite underwhelming, this build has changed that easily and quickly into empowered monoliths. Thx

Tried leveling with this, it was pretty awful... ended up ripping ~16ish

crazy painful leveling, never had such a hard one.. lvl 19 blue mobs take like 20+ hits to kill with that hammer throwing
Did you grab the spiral hammer? It gives you insane dmg. It’s one of the highest dps leveling skills.
