S-TIER Void Tentacle Gunner
Voidweaver turns you into a rapid-fire Void Blast machine with spectral apparitions and tentacle flair.
Previously rated A on this site, before the October 2026 community research.
How it feels
Voidweaver has settled into a fast-paced, reactive rhythm where you become an unstoppable Void Blast machine. Visuals of shadowy apparitions, tentacles, and Voidform sell the fantasy exceptionally well. Mobility remains the lowest in the game.
Peak moment
Opening Entropic Rift and watching a continuous stream of Void Blasts fire with max apparitions flying across the battlefield.
The clunk
Virtually zero cast-on-the-move capability. If a mechanic forces heavy repositioning, rotation grinds to a halt.
What players say
Community tier S.
Why people love it: Fast, chaotic Void visuals; Icy Veins calls the Archon/Misery style likely one of the most fun experiences; on several forum top-5 lists.
Why people quit it: Fans resent its low placement on tier lists (a balance gripe, not a design complaint).
Popularity: Mid-table in Mythic+.
