[3.0] Crit EK Nova Inquisitor - Clear Speed Oriented / MF Viable

Numbers and Gearing section for explanation

If you wonder I'm dying only to my own mistakes, like standing in volatiles :<

Useful leveling uniques:


Leveling trees for self caster (freeze pulse/firestorm/glacial cascade - this one is super fun)



Leveling trees for spell totems( eg. Spell Totem - Firestorm Easiest way to level up Templar )

Preferable option here is to help Alira, yet if you are not going full MF and can cap resists killing all is fine

Instruments of Virtue -> Righteus Providence -> Inevitable Judgement -> Augury of Penitence
As for patheons:
Minor - Soul of Yugul fits us best, reduced reflected damage might save you many times
Major - Brine King or Lunaris / Personal preference

Helmet:

You want rare helmet with good Life + Res
"Increased EK Damage" enchant is sweet addon on it / only if u can afford it, not needed at all
Helmet I'm using:




Body armour:

Basically we need 6L 3G3B body with some life/res
I bought this one for about 40c


Budget option here is Tabula Rasa -

"

It has perfect colors for our build :)

Main Hand:

Best we can get is Rare dagger with high base crit and increased spell damage/crit chance for spells/crit chance. If not afordable just go for brightbeak, works good enough and gives us some resists



Off Hand:

Rare Shield to boost up HP and resists / increased Spell Damage, increased Physical Damage here is sweet DPS boost



Gloves:

Safe option here is pair of Fingerless gloves with good amount of HP and resist, but if you are here for some moneyz we go with

Don't look at corrupted CoC, Just needed pair with max IIQ roll :)


Belt:

Safe 'n cheap - Belt of the Deceiver - Good damage boost, decent hp and res
Even safer - Rare belt (Preferably Rustic Sash for Inc Phys) with High HP roll and res
Moneyz? Perandus Blazon of course [+1 endurance charges helps a little]




Boots:

Doesn't matter what you choose here, for T11+ we need "#% of Damage leeched as Life and Mana if you've killed recently" - This enchant here, is total game changer, I had mana problems without it, sometimes Warlord's Mark didn't proc and had to port out of map to stay alive, with this one you are always good to go. [Just my thoughts]

Anyway, best option here is pair of Kaom's Roots, especially if you go with Tabula Rasa body armour.

I'm using Goldwyrm's tho - highest IIQ boost in our setup



Amulet:

Bisco, don't even try anything else unless you have to, we are in Bisco's meta bois.
My precious:


Rings:

If you decide to go with Kaom's Roots you will need one Unset Ring to socket your golem gem.
Something like this worked for me very well

Moneyz? Yeah, lets get the job done with those sweeties:


Flasks:



Taste of Hate is very good here if you can afford one, I'm using this setup tho. Works well for me.

Our Main Weapon EK in this order:

EK - Phys to Lightning - Spell Echo - Faster Proj - Pierce - Inc Crit Strikes

Auras setup:

Hatred - Herald of Ice - Curse on Hit - Warlord's Mark/Projectile Weakness


Utility:

Shield Charge/Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Fortify

Cast When Damage Taken (Lvl 1) - Immortal Call (Lvl 1) - Warlord's Mark (Lvl 5)

And here's the magic:

Vaal Haste - Inc Duration - Immortal Call (Lvl 20) - Arcane Surge (Lvl 9)
Quick explanation: Self casting High Level Immortal Call with Inc Duration linked activates our Arcane Surge to boost our damage. Situational, but usefull.

Not using Kaom's Roots and have some free sockets?

I'm using High Level CwDT - Summon Lightning Golem - I'm just lazy.

Using Kaom's Root's and Unset Ring?

Socket your golem in Unset Ring and self cast it :<

Here comes fun power of the build, glorious Jewels:

1. Ring of Blades, as it's Mandatory for our build to work [ We socket it just on the left from Vaal Pact ]
2. Intuitive Leap for some juicy charges - Worth every money [ Socketed Right here / Overcharged nodes ]
3. Best Jewel there is, yea, we are talking about Inspired Learing, our mini HH powering us for even faster clears [ Socketed right of the Nullification node]
4. Rare jewels - useful mods:
- Inc Max Hp
- Spell Damage
- Ataack speed (for our movement skill)
- Resistances, if still uncapped
- Crit Chance / Multi ? only if you feel like you need any

Try using your Immortal Call - Arcane Surge setup as often as possible, as it gives us pretty nice damage boost.
Look out for Proxy Shields, those are dangerous, as we can't leech through them, try using your movement skill to get inside it.
If you are getting problems with bosses, feel free to just port out and refill. Swapping Faster Proj for Slower Proj is huge help too. Well, you can always just skip boss. [ Time is money, they say]
Do not chase single little white mobs while speed clearing, they are not worth it.
Be careful with Inspired Learining as "Shorud Walker" mod is not the best one, I always wait it out on higher tier maps.
Alch n go?
