3) Gear
Spoiler
The build only require 1 unique item to make it good, and it's cheap as fuck.
Let's check what's good for each slot:

Helmet:

You want to get an ES based helmet with high life, resists, nothing more.

Chest:

I had the chance to 6L my Carcass Jack within 50 fus, but you can use an ES based chest with high life roll, resists again, nothing too fancy.
If you can afford it, Carcass Jack is the BiS for this build.

Gloves:

The only mandatory item, Hrimsorrow, these gloves are cheap and allow you to convert your Physical damage, BiS of course.
You don't need to buy the fated version.

Belt:
Early on, you can carry a Belt of the Deceiver, which allows you to boost a little bit your damage.
Once you're okay with your dps, you can swap on a classic Leather Belt with high life and resists


Boots:
You want to get armor based boots, because you'll need the 4R for your CWDT setup.
Again, classic rare boots, life, resists, %ms


Weapon:
Here, you have multiple choices, if you start with this build, you should aim on a rare dagger with Crit Chance for spells, Spell Damage, and attack speed if you can, something like this

In the end, you want to get Doryani's Catalyst for his awesome Elemental Damage


Shield:
Same thing, classic rare shield with crit chance for spells, spell damage, life and some resists if you can.


Jewelry:
For the rings, you want to grab Two-Stone rings with Dexterity (to lvl up Blade Vortex), life and resists, on both.


Concerning the amulet, you want a Jade Amulet with life, spell damage, some crit multi if you can afford and resists.

Awesome build, i use almost the same version.
Using BV already on my lv 42 inquisitor. i struggle a bit with dex but with Alacrity in couple of levels that problem is gone.
Just wanted to ask your Ascendancy points - what would you pick first ? Guess you go for Inevitable Judgement asap ?!
Go for Inevitable Judgement , then Instruments of Virtue and Augury of Penitence
will this work with lightning strike instead of blade vortex?

Nope since BV is considered as a spell
what flask do you use ?

Not optimum but still a nice setup, in the end you want :

Seething Divine Life Flask of Heat
Chemist’s Diamond Flask of Staunching
Taste of Hate
Atziri’s Promise
Chemist’s Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
How do you manage mana?
For try, for see, and for know.

This is a buff
