Perhaps for a chaotic evil character. Voidsent are devoted consuming the Aether of Hydaelyn and the world after all. They are other worldly, maddening creatures that exist to destroy the world.
Yeah. A lot of people seem to forget that - and voidsent are, realistically, a threat to be put down. They're better left to something played temporarily as part of an event and then ultimately banished or slain.
There's only so many times an outright villain can become a thorn in someone's side and then conveniently escape without it becoming stale.
It's why I always cringe whenever I see someone role-playing their character as a succubus...in broad daylight, no less. Can it be done well? Sure! But usually it's less about being a fearsome voidsent and more about catering to ERP from what I've seen.
I was talking more about a character that attained their power through a pact with a voidsent ala D&D warlock. Not so much an actual voidsent. I wouldn't play either one, to be honest as I don't really like tank classes and I'm far too attached to my mage.
