Hi i am currently playing the life sword version, can you please post your offensive sheet so i can compare the damage? I am thinking of switching to ci dagger version, but i dont want to do alot less dps :)
ES > HP builds. Tool tip dps is not an indicator of how much dps this build does due to all the stacking and penetration.
Swords will also not outperform daggers as the base crit is much higher thus penetrating ele resists. There are also great dagger nodes to take and no need to focus on accuracy nodes or flat rolls on gear.
So far I have only done T13 maps, pretty tough rolles and cleared them super easy with no trouble even twinned bosses.
Im sure ES Dagger BF would be able to down the hardest content no problem.
Tooltip*APS is a good indication though because we both do the same penetration :) i also do t14 and 15 pretty easy still i kinda dont see where i can get better gear so i thought about the switch but need at least an indication how the damage will change.
Btw i dont see ES better than life in all circumstances i did a bow build last season and tried both version (got a mirrored bow in the season so you can imagine both gear version were completely maxed out) and felt the life version superior :)
the thing is acuities are pretty nice also is rats nest which both wont work in a ci version, therefore you get the crown :)
Im having trouble with my budget version of this. No Skyforth or Vinktars.
Seems like I can either generate power charges with assassins mark, or leech mana with poachers mark. Cant seem to keep both up. Also running Life Leech gem in 5L because it's my only form of sustain.
Any advice?
I have been through all these stages and now seem to be free from the 'bad' zone.
Timeline:
1) Started running blasphemy +warlords for leech (ES+Mana) . Warlords + Wrath + Discipline
2) Got some better gear and removed blasphemy and put warlords in Curse on hit + Herald of Ice. I was able to leech perfectly fine WHILST ramping up my dps. Trash dies so fast the curse spreads and you leech.
I then had a leeching problem on bosses. As you cannot apply warlords to them.
3) I then picked up a VINKTARS which is where it all started changing. I now could pop vinktars + vaal haste and so far have been able to kill EVERY boss I have faced within that time (increased flask duration is a must).
4) As of yesterday I moved warlords mark our of my HoI setup, to put in poachers mark. Instead of echarges I now get frenzy which makes me clear even faster. I do find that at times it get harder to leech as apposed to the warlords setup but you do so much dps with frenzy up that you just need to ensure that vinktars is ready when you get an O-FUCK moment.
All that is left to do it to, level my enlighten to max to try and get HoT in. I also am not generating any power charges. I think I will take out lightning golem from cwdt and put in assassins mark. This is why I have left my power charge nodes for last, in hopes that I can grab a skyforths and then pick them up.
This is my gear so far. It is pretty solid besides needing to reroll my chest/ gem quality and flask quality.
@Contrax - Do you have the multi mod function. Saw on your stream last night your gear was almost 100% . If so how much do you charge for doing a multi mod, I just need one more EX to do it but dont have 8 yet :(

Don't have Elreon 8 yet, sorry :X
Usually I don't charge anything, but appreciate tips!:)
I'll let you know about my Master Progress on Stream! Should be done soonish!

Ty Buddy, in Ho DPS is nearly the same outside yours is WAY better (which i never would have expected since we got similar auras at least damage wise but it gotta be the crown of eyes) only thing i am concerned is the uncomfortable leech und uncomfortable blood rage, never really found the fun in playing ci but maybe will give it another shot.
Although 1 thing is different i got maxed Crit with charges (95%) which is also quite a damage boost for inquisitor still gotta rethink :) espacially cause a vegan dagger like yours is way cheaper than my sword :) selling acuities belly and everything now :D :D XD

Well, the CWDT Warlord's Mark helps alot. Bursting Guardians in ~3secs atm.
The Crit is no problem. We use Diamond Flask, so it's 95% anyways.
Cheers

Out of curiousity, do you use portals to go back to town to refresh vinktars when doing the harder end-game bosses kills deathless? Or just run around and play safe killing adds until it's back up? An issue I have with that is sometimes there's not much adds in the bossfight to really make that strat work. Unless of course you're killing them within a single vinktars :p I'm guessing with the right gear that's pretty possible.
