I wanted to do Inquisitor crit Shock Nova first but I watched mathil try out a simple Berserker 2H RT Earthquake build and it looks really fast and fun so I might go for that. The initial hit already does a good amount of damage and has good AoE so for most trash you don't even need to 'wait' for the actual big hit.

Also have a vid of Pohx being Pohx by smoking some dank kush right before streaming:

Depends on which prison you get sent to. But Pohx is white and lives in DFW. If its his first offence he won't go to prison, just fun things like probation for two years, bi-weekly piss tests, a large fine, community service, and be forced to take several "drugs are bad classes".

I thought about using Elemental Focus for my Inquisitor but I feel like the defense you get from frozen/chilled enemies and the 50% increased damage you get from shocked enemies outweighs the more damage from the gem. I think I will level one for higher maps that roll Elemental Status Immunity.

Also, basic mechanics question that I am not 100% sure of. The Righteous Providence and Inevitable Judgement nodes on the Inquisitor tree, those apply if I am using a trap, mine, or totem right? If I am wrong, I want to know before I level a character.

I am going to go Inquisitor. I wanted to try shockwave totem and it seems like a good chance to do it. This is the tree I was planning on using for crit shockwave totem. The 5L would be Shockwave Totem, Faster Casting, Added Fire, Physical to Lightning, and Increased Critical Strikes. Not sure about crit strikes over inc/conc effect, but I want to test it at least. The 6th link would be an empower or something. Use dual wands or wand+shield until I get my 6th Ascendancy Point and take Instruments of Virtue. Switch to Dagger+shield and get 20% Cast Speed for 4 seconds every time I use whirling blades.

Fwiw some dude on Reddit graphed out elemental crit poo poo with various ascendancy classes. Inquisitor hits par with assassin around 70?+ resist iirc and surpasses it around 80+.

He recalculated because his auras were incorrect with the inquisitor, it becomes even somewhere are 60-65% and then surpasses. It seems like inquisitor is best used for builds that have 1 source of damage and that damage does all three elements.

I got a question maybe some of you guys can answer.

Why isn't Frenzy - GMP - Curse on Hit - AssMark a thing? Aside from losing a gem slot (not an issue for me) every Voltaxic LA build I've seen recommends Herald of Thunder - CoH - AssMark instead with Blood Rage to generate frenzies.

Pros
-can fire offscreen and generate frenzy charges / power charges
-don't have to rely on radius of HoT to curse
-don't have to rely running pack to pack for overkill on HoT to curse
-can be used in single boss fights with no adds to get charges


Cons
-lose a gem slot
-automated cursing is better
-???

Most of the time its smoother and slightly faster to run around and fire your damaging attacks, weaving in a CoH setup slows you down slightly. And if you stay at max power charges through a whole map, there isnt much need to try something else.

^^^^ But yeah, what mathil uses is really good for fights where you can't proc your heralds often enough. like longer boss fights.

A fairly popular poe streamer named Ghudda has done crit EK for the last three leagues. Check out his profile here. He usually focuses on abusing flask uptime to keep very high defenses, he starts each league using a tabula and eventually transitions into a low life version.

I would sell it white. Whoever buys it will want to try and get +3 fire on it, which involves a white staff, catarina's crafting bench, and lots of transmutes, regals, and scours. The low makes it more attractive to anyone who wants to craft it.

I like the idea that cadiro prices change based on how often what he sells is purchased or not. I have no real evidence, but it would be a cool way to handle it by ggg. Would explain why headhunters were like 15k day one and 28k very soon after.

Although its much more likely that ggg has either made no changes to prices or changed the ranges manually. Thats super boring though.

Dual-wield Cyclone is fine but it is not ideal to use two Prismatic Eclipses (or even one). If you're going to dual-wield you should probably use rapiers and probably crit. Since that would be a massive change to your tree I'd instead recommend switching skills to cleave (if you really want to dual-wield), leaving the witch area and using those points to pick up damage and life in the Templar/Maruader area. You should see a massive increase in clear speed from having a large increase in damage over your massive AoE. Cyclone isn't linked to a single damage gem and your ideal 6-link should have almost entirely damage links. I don't understand the desire to use Empire's Grasp knockback, what is it offering you over a pair of gloves with life/attack speed/flat phys? Devoto's Devotion is a fantastic Cyclone helmet and probably your only actual DPS increase. Basically you've got a Dual-Wield Cyclone build and no nodes or gear or gems to scale any of that damage.

Dumb, all you guys. He wasn't asking how to make a better character. He was asking how to optimize what he has with the goals that he has set.
