Inquisitor Shield Charge Burning Vortex (LL)

This is an abridged guide for inquisitor burning coc vortex.



I will upload more video if there is interest in the build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLVVlh_rZ5o
(map had 25% less aoe so vortex is generally quite a bit larger, this is the size if you run conc effect)

About this build:
This build has amazing clear speed , similar (or better) to that of pre nerf coc discharge , currently of the list of meta high clear speed builds this is my preferred build.

Why is inquisitor the best ascendency?
The core concept of this build is about hitting mobs with critical fire damage , Inquisitor allows all of our critical elemental damage to ignore resists doing massivley more damage. The only downside is reflect , thus for the downside of not being able to run ele reflect maps we do much much more damage (a good trade if you ask me)

*for the above reason, I do not reccomend this ascendency for hardcore temp leagues (witch for reduced ele reflect is prob the best bet in HC)

Required items:


While PYRE is the only strictly mandatory item, this build revolves around a vagan dagger and shavs (providing the ability to never miss with our trigger and 30% more damage from pain attunement)


Offence \ Defence:
Spoiler
No flasks, just discipline .

I will be the first person to point out the tooltip for vortex looks low , 20k dps is nothing but the tooltip does not factor in crit (which we do all the time), the multiplier or our burn damage.
I play legacy reach builds and other expensive builds , this build does a lot more damage , ie high red tier map bosses dead in a couple seconds.

I cant tell you why exactly the tooltip is so low but its not a representation of how much damage this build does , i have 60k tooltip characters that do less damage


Links \ Gems:
Spoiler
6L
Vortex > Inc AOE > COC > Controled destruction > increased critical strikes > shield charge (lvl1)

(I prefer shield charge , using cyclone or another skill to trigger is fine , shield charge is the fastes clear trigger and more than enough dps)

(If you have higher crit run increased crit damage rather than critical stikes)

(concentrated effect can be used for shaper\bosses rather than inc aoe)

3L
Whirling blades > faster attacks > fortify

4L
CWDT > Immortal call > Ice golem > Increased Duration

Aura's
4L
Blasphemy > Assasin mark > warlords mark > enlighten

2L
Blood magic > Discipline > Enlighten (enlighten is optional)


Gear (and gear discussion)
Spoiler

*Please note: the colouring and how i have socketed gems is not optimal, e.g. 3R sheld is from another build and im not re colouring it for this build (immortal call should just be in the boots freeing up the shield etc). If i was to re colour several things i could save a bit of space



Weapon:
Vagan dager, crit > spell damage > attack speed

Shield:
High es and resist, I have ctit on my shield but that is not manditory

Chest:
shav's 6l , or rare vaal regalia 6l (drop pain attunement and loose about 30% damage if you dont use shavs)

Boots:
High ES and Resist
(best enchant is 90% crit chance or leech)

Helm:
High ES and Resist
(any vortex enchant you can get)

Gloves:
High ES and Resist
(any elemental damage one , i dont currently have a very good ele enchant on gloves)

Rings:
High ES and Resist on a Diamond Ring

Neck:
You do not need presence , but its probally best in slot if you have one. If i used something else it would probally be a rare neck with resists and critical strike and % increased ES.

With unlimited currency I would try and work
into the build for a massive dps increase though getting critical strike chance high enough will be difficult.

Belt:
Crystal belt with ES and resists (at least 110 es)


Flasks:
Spoiler
My builds never have a huge focus on flasks , this build is fully functional with no flasks whatsoever.


I am currently running a silver flask with increased duration for move\attack speed , atziri's promise and dying sun. I have a vinktar and like every other build its amazing for this build but I choose not to use one currently (im not doing shaper just high tier red maps and vinktar is not really needed).

Because I make a number of builds I try and avoid using anything like vinktar that can make crappy builds great. I focus on making making good builds that do not rely on flasks , then you can add them after the fact to make the build even better.

There is actually a large number of good flasks for this build, this build is not focused on begginers so im sure you can figure out what flasks you want to run.


Ascendency:
Spoiler

Take Instruments of Virtue last if you have not done uber


Tree:
Spoiler
This is a level 91 tree , at lower levels drop dual curse, fire damage & unnatural calm, thats 16 points less so that would be lvl 75.

I dont have many notes about the tree other than the jewel slot next to harrier, you can take the 2 spell points on the way to the jewel , I chose attack speed for whirling blades and shield charge.

also, we are right next to the alchemist flask nodes , if you want to drop 3 points somewhere and get the flask nodes go ahead

Tooltip of average damage =/= tooltip of DPS.

I think this will have the same prob as its shafow variation: it needs gg cri chance for vortex to proc.

I try the shadow version and it was painful to charge around for 3-4s w/o crit.
I was wondering what jewels you use in your skill tree?
also is there a skill setup you can use if you only have a 5l shav?
