[3.1][HC] Scorching RF Inquisitor - cheap starter build - ZiggyD
" It's a pretty big DPS loss to give up Flammability and EE. I used the ZiggyD PoB data, swapped out Doryani's for a Scepter with +26% ele and +74% fire, then disabled EE and Flammability. SR Stage 1 DPS: 52522 RF DPS: 69622 Now, I'll swap out the Scepter for one with +13% ele dmg and 1-2 cold damage. No % Fire at all, but I'll turn EE and Flammability back on. SR Stage 1 DPS: 88433 RF DPS: 114683 Maybe you don't want to deal with Flammability, but keep EE thru the cold damage. SR Stage 1 DPS: 68681 RF DPS: 89069 IOW, you're better off with any random Magic Scepter and keeping EE and/or Flammability. " This is a good question. The 2 nodes to capture Light of Divinity grant the following DPS gains. RF: +0.3% DPS or ~0.15% DPS per point spent SR Stage 1: +3.3% DPS or ~1.65% DPS per point spent Total: ~1.8% DPS per point spent I just posted earlier that picking up the easily accessible 4th Jewel slot (and getting a good Jewel) can grab you a little over ~3% DPS per point spent. There's also an 8% Elemental node right next to Elementalist that goes unused and would provide +1.2% RF DPS and +1.1% SR DPS for a +2.3% DPS gain per point. LoD offers a bit of utility with the Light Radius, but it seems like a DPS loss compared to other nearby, efficient nodes. |

Are we looking at path of building for the damage? I look at my scorching ray in a 6 link and it only is listing 12k for stage 1 my profile is open so if someone could check to see what I would need to get up more damage I would love to know.
thanks |

" You are probably right once you push 90+ or perhaps when playing sc the heart of flame and the 20% burning dmg towards breath of flame will be better dps wise ! Light of divinity is an early damage boost used for leveling + some cast speed. Endgame speccing out LoD and picking up a 4th jewel or the nodes on top will be better ! (If your current cs can reach 8 stages but that should be no problem) Will edit it tomorrow, off to sleep now! " Imported and I'm looking at a 60k dot dps dps stage 1 Make sure to put on effective dps and not unbuffed dps. You kinda have to include EE(Checkbox the "enemy was hit by cold dmg") + our curse as it basicly increased our dps by x3-4 Your RF is 78k dot dps if you are wondering ign: ropefly Last edited by ropefly#2757 on Aug 13, 2017, 8:56:29 PM

Rope you are awesome, thank you for the feedback. I am wondering what else I need to do to elevate my build to guardian status.
Right now I switch out my helm to a immortal call cwdt helm when righteous fire would just end up with me dying. What can I do to my character right now to see some improvement. I want to start pushing higher maps. I can comfortably farm shaped racecourse with most mods (not creatures from beyond or breach capable) thanks. |

I wanted to ask the following as i was thinking of - for SC
would you recommenced going 3 viridian grand spectrum also instead of the 4%life nodes after warriors blood to use those points on extra Jewel sockets? There are 3 sockets within 3point reach for this build. Or maybe respec something else to get those points. Also i have 1 socket left so i am thinking enlighten on purity and clarity would be best? Ok last stupid question i promise Pyre rings - no life but best for damage even late game no? Thanks Last edited by LastxResort#2820 on Aug 13, 2017, 10:25:45 PM

Just hit 80 today with this build. This is my first RF/SR build and I could use some gearing advice. I sometimes get burst down even when spamming seethign divine, I probably need more survivability. Any gear recommendations would be appreciated, thanks!

" need more info. You are getting burst down by what? Physical or elemental? Build is very tanky if you have the shield charge + fortify setup. I have 6300 life, but had no issues when I had 5500. Just make sure to have instant life flasks and ressists all the way up. IGN: LessBow

" It doesn't happen very often and I'm not sure exactly what is killing me but it usually happens with harbinger groups or some groups that don't die super fast to my SR/RF. It could definitely be my lack of experience. Again any gearing suggestions to help me progress through maps and maybe get to guardians/shaper would be great. |
|
" Thanks for the detailed answers to my questions! Guess I'll switch to one of the spare sceptres I have in my stash. Ropefly, thanks for your answer too! I don't seem to be able to reach 8stacks at the moment as most things die before then! Will probably spec out and test the clear speed in that case :) |
