Warpath Void Knight Guide
The Warpath Void Knight uses Warpath to wipe the battlefield clean of enemies. Stay spinning to increase your Damage and AoE until Warpath almost covers the whole screen. Unleash the Spin-to-Win playstyle with this build!
The Warpath Void Knight specializes into Warrior's Fury to reach amazing levels of Void Melee Damage and Area of Effect. Warpath costs more Mana every second, but thanks to the Void Well Passive and Mana stacking, you can stay spinning for a long time. The Void Well Passive is mandatory when you have Warrior's Fury allocated. Devouring Orb, Anomaly, Symbols of Hope and Abyssal Echoes grant powerful buffs.
This setup doesn't require any Uniques to function. However, Items like Clotho's Needle, Siphon of Anguish, Shattered Chains, Anchor of Oblivion and Nihilis turn this build into an absolute powerhouse.
Overall, this powerful Void Knight is an amazing build that performs well in endgame. If you are looking for a fast melee build that obliterates enemies and is able to survive the hardest encounters, this build is perfect for you!
This build guide assumes you have a Level 70 Character.

Skills
Warpath
Warpath is your main Damage Skill. It gains huge Damage and AoE with Warrior's Fury, but also costs more and more Mana as you keep spinning. Thanks to Void Essences and the Void Well Passive, you can continuously spin for a long duration. Scale its Damage with Maw of the Deep and Whirling Steel. Grab Cyclone of War for a massive amount of Crit Chance. Juggernaut Stance provides Parry Chance with Clotho's Needle. Automatically cast Abyssal Echoes thanks to Abyssal Tempest.
- For short Boss fights, you can get higher burst DPS by maxing out Warrior's Fury. However, this is not recommended for most gameplay situations.
- Warpath: If you want more Damage, max out Void Spiral instead of Juggernaut Stance.
- Warpath: Echoes from Echo Knight don't get any benefit from Warrior's Fury.
Only allocate Warrior's Fury when you have at least T5 Reduced Channel Cost Prefix on your Helmet and 400 Maximum Mana. Without these stats, sustaining Mana is difficult.

Passives
- Void Well is mandatory for Mana sustain when you have Warrior's Fury allocated.
- Avatar of Regret is not specialized, due to its drawback of higher Mana cost and lower Attack Speed.
Make sure to complete the Campaign to get all your Passive Points.
Gameplay
Skill Usage/Rotation
- Spin-to-Win with Warpath and keep channeling it to ramp up your Damage and AoE with Warrior's Fury.
- Always stay on the move to automatically cast Devouring Orb.
- Maintain Time Bubble with Anomaly at all times.
Bossing
- Take advantage of all your buffs and keep them active.
- Make sure to hit the Boss with Anomaly to activate Mark of Rot.
- Move at least 4 meters in the past 2 seconds to create echoes with Warpath, thanks to Echo Knight.
- For short Boss fights, you can get higher burst DPS by maxing out Warrior's Fury.
- After channeling for a long time, the Mana cost of Warpath will be so high that you cannot sustain it. At this point, you will automatically stop and start channeling again, resetting the Damage and AoE ramp of Warrior's Fury.
Gear, Idols & Blessings
- Stacking a large Mana pool is necessary. Aim for Mana on your Amulet, Relic, Gloves, Helmet and Body Armor. Get the Reduced Channel Cost Prefix on your Helmet to be able to use Warpath for a longer duration.
- Clotho's Needle is the Weapon of choice for its Damage, Crit and high base Attack Rate. Farm it from the Lostwood Folly Woven Echo. As a Weaver's Will Unique, it grains random Affixes.
- Wings of Argentus is an option over Titan Heart for higher Movement Speed with Haste. However, your survivability will be lower with it. With Shattered Worlds, you get permanent Haste. This Relic can only be obtained from Uber Aberroth.
- Suloron's Step provide amazing Damage, but Darkstride is an option for higher Movement Speed.
- Anchor of Oblivion allows you to easily cap Endurance, on top of increasing Damage and Armor.
- Flames of Midnight provides the valuable Swiftness buff, which grants 20% Movement Speed at level 100. In addition, it grants Void Penetration.
