When Inquisitor came out i was wondering how to deal No elemental status effect so i could get that perma 100% increased critical strike chance from Righteous Providence

I haven't looked at inquisitor builds yet, so I'm probably overlooking something obvious:

For which Inquisitor elemental damage builds is a guaranteed 100% increased critical strike chance (i.e. 5-10% extra crit chance depending on weapon or spell) always better than the possibility of inflicting status ailments and getting 45% increased critical multiplier on those affected by status ailments and getting 100% increased critical strike chance on those that aren't, when coupled with the 10% elemental penetration on non-crit, ignore enemy resistances on crit node?

At first glance, it is hard for me to see this as something very valuable for anything but Cast on Crit builds.

So what have I overlooked? :)

I agree with Pi2rEpsilon, I don't see why you'd want to remove the second portion of that Inquisitor node. The way I see it, when first attacking a mob you apply a status ailment and then you proceed to dealing more damage (crit multi.) It's utility at first, then damage later. Why would you want to remove that?


Is Elemental Focus really a new Gem? Or is it Sexcalibures idea?

Regardless, I like it, it might finally bring back Ele-Cleave. Or maybe some interesting Avatar of Fire builds..

elemental weapons benefits with this gem?

That's ignite, chill, freeze, shock only. So it's absolutely viable with 100% fire to chaos conversion, non crit builds, and .... RF

Wow, GGG is really pushing the RF totem meta hard.

Sweet, RF FINALLY gets a 5L... -.- (It's about damn time.)

Until it gets a 6L though, the Totem variant will likely be better though.

Non crit ele spell caster...? Still not a thing right?

well there is already :

-burning damage
-aoe
-conc
-Item rarity*

if this gem works with RF

this is a huge hit to Kaom's Heart

having a 30% more in the equation is a killer imho

people using life rf will just go


or carcass

It used to be, until GGG effectively removed incinerate from the game.

And this skill isn't enough to make incinerate competitive again. Just removing functionality with spell echo was likely enough - they didn't need to pile on more nerfs beyond that.

There may be a decent defensive build using trickster shadow (weave of the arcane) + stacking MoM effects + incinerate, but map clearing efficiency will continue to be very poor.
