[2.3] Nuro's Inquisition (Nuro's Harp / Tornado Shot)

Nuro's Inquisition.



This build focused around maximizing the potential of Nuro's Harp, the new cold bow.

The Inquisitor ascendancy is uniquely suited to take advantage of Nuro's Harp. By stacking pure cold damage and ignoring resistances, we're able to freeze every monster in the game, including bosses up through T13 maps. This applies even in maps with the "chance to avoid elemental effects" mod.

The Inquisitor also features bonuses when on consecrated ground. By the end, the build creates consecreated ground on kills, when hit, or on command via a Sulphur Flask. The consecrated ground offers 4% life and mana regeneration, 40% increased damage, and a key defensive mechanic: elemental status effect immunity.

Lastly, this build creates enormous amounts of chilled ground. Coupled with temporal chains, it renders most enemies immobile - if they're not already frozen. In parties, this creates an absurdly safe environment for other members, especially melee builds, to wreak havoc.

Note that both, offense and defense screenshots, are both taken while standing on consecrated ground with no frenzy or endurance charges. The actual tooltip damage when mapping is about 65k, with an additional 12% physical damage reduction.

Nice looking build, been wondering what to do with my low inquisiter I have been ignoring for several months, I have most of the items already although not nearly so many quality gems and those life jewels look kinda pricey i would think, i probably have a few but not nearly so well rolled for a cold build for sure. Not sure why Nuros Harp never got much good feedback as this build looks like it can do end game just fine at a bit of cost but considering the cost of a RoTC or any good harbinger this is probably much more budget friendly.

How do you handle reflect with such crit multiplier cause wouldn't you just instantly rip yourself in 1 crit on a rare monster with elemental reflect?
