Erasing Strike + Rive Void Knight Build Guide

Posted by Lightegpro on March 12, 2024

Last updated on March 14, 2024

Overview

This build is designed for both new players and experienced ones. Classic melee smasher without unnecessary magic.

If you like Erasing Strike skill and you feel dizzy from using it Warpath then this is a great build for you.

This build does not require amazing positioning or precise rotations, making it perfect for controller. You will often be holding down as many as all buttons for maximum effect and we are building to tank most hits.

This allows us to forgo some of the rarer items for example Apathy's Maw (I see this axe in Solo-Self Found league several times and that's a problem) and supplement them with more common ones farmed from Monolith drop (just exalted item).

With this build you will be able to farm monoliths and bosses with corruption over 350 (what has already been tested at the moment). The assembly itself is not a bunch of unique items that need to be looked for, but a simple and straightforward build that you can assemble simply by using things from monoliths, or things that you get with the help of your chosen faction.

Synergy

You will be using one-handed weapons like Katana and Eagle Wing for dealing amazing damage from Erasing Strike spamming with two BOOST damage skill Anomaly and Volatile Reversal and of course, don’t forget about replenishing mana using the Rive high attack speed of one-handed weapons and the attack speed points we’ve chosen in tree.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Boss killing

Very tanky (HP leech + Font of Salvation 1/1 give you survivability)

Controller friendly

No essential uniques (All uniques easy farming)

Cons

Low clean speed (Monolith)

Melee (need to be close to enemies to deal damage)

All buttons used (it is necessary to use all buttons in a certain rotation to achieve maximum damage)

Min/max build requires avoiding a critical hit

Gameplay / Mechanics

Skill Synergies and Mechanics

Rive

Stacks Shred Armour from Rending 2/2 and Doom (increased deal void damage per stack for 5%) with Shattered Chains. Flurry 5/5 allows you to quickly use an ability to restore mana from Azure Crescendo 3/3, Time and Faith 5/5 andLeonine Greathelm. Еchoes are created from Temporal Warrior 1/1 and Ripples of Oblivion 1/5.To pull together bosses (in pairs or of which there are several) as well as enemies that are in monoliths, it helps us Challenge 1/1. For culling strike (when enemy have below 15%) Coup de Grace 1/1.

Anomaly

One of the main abilities that greatly increases the void damage received by the enemy due to Mark of Rot 5/5. Anomaly give you Time Bubble 1/1 with its help you increase your attack speed Manipulation 2/2 and critical strike chance Decimation 5/5. By virtue of Immediacy 1/1 the enemy instantly receives a negative effect from Mark of Rot 5/5. Anomaly Must be used on an enemy to inflict a negative effect from Mark of Rot 5/5.

Volatile Reversal

One of the main abilities that greatly increases the void damage received by the enemy due to Harbinger of Dust 3/3 and Food for Wyrms 4/4. When you use an ability, you go back in time for 2 seconds and the ability will appear in the place where you used it and where you were 2 seconds ago Void Rift, an ability will appear that imposes effects on enemies from Food for Wyrms 4/4 and Harbinger of Dust 3/3. A nice bonus from use is getting attack acceleration due to Warped Time 3/3. Time Sap 3/3 reduces the recovery time due to attacks inflicted on the enemy (in fact, we use Anomaly almost non-stop)

Erasing Strike

Main damage deals skill. Certain Erasure 2/2 increase PrefixCritical Strike Multiplier from Erasing Strike. Shattered Continuity 1/1 allows you to use the ability without stopping and Time Loop 2/3 give increased maximum additional echoes (but be careful as the mana consumption of such an echo is increased and a large amount of mana recovery is needed from Rive.

Healing Hands

There is no need to use this ability yourself because it is used automatically when striking an enemy and placed on the ability panel (which frees up a slot for a Lunge). Give additional damage, heal and same tanky ward. Cleric's Hammer 4/4 makes it possible to create with every hit you make. Purity of Thought 1/1 and Blessed Parish 2/3 make mana cost equal 0. By dint of Homeward 1/1 Healing Hands is applied to you and creates a shock wave when attacking opponents with Rive and Erasing Strike. Font of Salvation 1/1 save mechanic (give you heal and ward).

Rotation

The fight begins with approaching the enemy and several blows Rive for Doom and Void Pierce stacks then the Anomaly and Volatile Reversal are used for boosted damage then we alternate Erasing Strike andRive use Erasing Strike until the mana runs out (or almost runs out) and restore mana with Rive repeat this rotation (don't forget to use cooldown Anomaly and Volatile Reversal).

Rive>Anomaly>Volatile Reversal>Erasing Strike (until the mana runs out)> repeat.

Scales with critical strike multiplier also due to flat void damage.

All the presented unique items would be nice to have with a legendary potential of 3-4 with Crit multi, HP (flat and %) and other you needed (maybe resistance).

On SSF this is difficult to do, however, with the trade faction it becomes a little easier and easier to do the maximum version of the build.

You need to use two one-handed weapons: Eagle Wing and a Katana because:

Eagle Wing gives flat crit chance.
Katana gives an increase in the critical strike multiplier.

The use of axes and swords is due to the talent for increasing the attack speed of the Blademaster.
