Currently playing with a controller. New 1.2 targeting feels really good. Less carpal tunnel irritation for me.

As is tradition, just after reaching monos on my VK I got the itch to try something else, so rolled a Beastmaster with the intent of checking out storm crows/bear, but got bored halfway and rolled a Blade Dancer instead. Got to empowered monos really fast, even after it got nerfed a bunch from release it's still really smooth and easy with huge bursts of damage even with basically no gear. Using standard umbral blades shadow daggers+sync strike for now, I'm looking at either going lethal mirage or crit sync strike instead later on once I have some uniques.
Also yeah I did some leveling with pad and it played well. Inventory shit is still horrible imo so I just use my mouse for that, but for actually playing it works well enough, and especially for leveling since it's pretty braindead.

Wasn't going to play this season with Ashes of Creation server restart coming in May but decided to give it a go friday. I've never tried COF but figured since i missed launch would take the pressure off me of trying to reach 100 and get ahead of the economy on Merchant etc and just enjoy the ride.
Got the VK to 74 so far, i really enjoy erasing strike. Season 1 I had cracked top 100 with my own VK build leveraging shadow beacon and hybrid damage. Kinda doing that this time but once i unlock empowered think i'm going to try and do a void laser beam build with Erasing strike and shadow beacon. 60%+ more damage mod on all ES damage which includes the void lasers and the 80% more laser damage I think you can ramp up decent enough focusing on vitality and general void % damage to help both w/ initial ES hit and then lasers. Might play w/ smite or devouring orb with it (smite for mana replenish to support void essence).
Worse case go back to just melee damage focus which still fucking does insane damage when you stack the echo repeating node on it and essence voids to replenish mana.
I want to dust off my old werebear build I built a guide back in beta for as well. Looks like they lowered damage of EQ but if you mass stack cool down with new bhuldar's i think double EQ's in 5 seconds could still be nasty but will see what gear I can farm up for him.
Alot of good QOL from when I played last and new content seems decent enough. No complaints early on anyway, still an amazing game with such a strong crafting and gearing system with alot of unique build options.4

Just got a unique spear that looks like it was meant for that build. Was wondering "is there a build for this?" and came here and saw your post.

Goddamnit, I played this game for a month or two with my buddies when I hit 1.0, playing a void knight. We stopped because when we got to the time World instance end game, we just really didn't care that much.
From what you guys are saying though, I'm tempted to fire it back up. I really hope they manage to make a fun game, because it is, but maybe they can be something that you can play quite a bit or at least every season or whatever the hell.
