[2.6] Crit Staff-based Wild Strike Inquisitor

Pros:
+ Pretty sweet damage! My tooltip alone sits at about 60k dps, but tooltip doesn't factor in
damage after the physical damage is converted (since it's converted to a random element)

+ Decently high life pool (Sitting at more than 5.4k at level 84 with some relatively budget/
self-found gear)

+ Surprisingly great clear speed for a name-lock skill

+ Good as a league starter (Levels fast, the gear is cheap, and you can still do pretty
decent with just rare gear and a rare staff)

Cons;
- Wild Strike is still a "name-lock" skill :/

- Kind of on the low end as far as the number of jewel slots in the tree

- Accuracy may be an issue, but hopefully all of the Dex should help with that. Getting
accuracy on gear is helpful too.

- Not recommended to run elemental reflect maps

- No pants! (Or that may be a pro depending on who you are! XD)

With the new 2.6 patch, GGG changed Wild Strike in the following way:

"

Wild Strike now converts 100% of the attack's physical damage to a random element, up from 60%.

What does this mean for us? It means that we can scale our damage with buffs to physical damage, then convert ALL of it to elemental damage and scale it again, resulting in some pretty extraordinary damage!

As for the class, I went with Inquisitor. Inquisitor gives us access to the Ascendancy passive, Inevitable Judgement, which allows our damage to completely ignore elemental resistances on critical strike! The Templar also starts in close proximity to plenty of both physical and elemental damage nodes, as well as plenty of decent life nodes.

For defenses, we rely on a combination of:
- A high life pool (currently sitting at 5.4k hp at level 84)
- High armor for physical mitigation (you can also convert evasion with Iron Reflexes if
you so choose)
- High life regen through almost constant consecrated ground coverage and some decent life
regen uniques and passives
- Life leech through a combination of attack damage leech passives and Blood Rage
- Some Endurance charge generation from Smashing Strikes passive
- Some decent block chance from using staves

Note: Taste of Hate isn't necessary for the build, but makes for a good higher budget flask to use. I got mine as a drop, so that's why I have one. :D

For jewels, we don't have many jewel slots, so I took a more defensive approach and looked for jewels that gave resists and % max health. Jewels that buff attack speed and crit chance are good as well. Also, a Warlord's Reach is pretty nice for quality of life, allowing us to hit enemies slightly further away, mitigating a bit the downside of Wild Strike being a name-lock, close range melee skill. You can get Warlord's Reach as a reward from the Through Sacred Ground quest in Act 2 Cruel.

Wild Strike: Wild Strike + Increased Critical Strikes + Multistrike + Weapon Elemental Damage
+ Faster Attacks (5l) + Elemental Focus (6l)

Ancestral Warchief: (A good way to supplement your damage and deal with pesky ele reflect mobs)
Ancestral Warchief + Melee Physical Damage + Concentrated Effect + Faster Attacks +
Culling Strike (5l/ 6l) + Increased Area of Effect (5l/ 6l)

Auras/ Buffs: Hatred, Blasphemy + Assassin's Mark, Blood Rage
(possibly Herald of Ash too if you found some way to shoehorn it in)

Movement: Leap Slam + Faster Attacks + Fortify + Blood Magic

CWDT: Cast When Damage Taken (lv1 or so) + Immortal Call + Increased Duration
(Immortal Call works nicely with our Endurance charge generation from Smashing Strikes)
(It's also a good idea to socket this setup in a 4l with Blood Rage so Blood Rage can have increased duration too)

Miscellaneous: Summon Flame Golem (for some extra damage)
