Why did he suddenly change BF to Molten Strike? Is BF no longer viable?

So is molten strike better than blade flurry? I looked in path of building for both of them, and blade flurry had like 2-3mil dps and molten strike only has 700k dps.

EDIT: Also it seems like single target dps is a bit weak.

I created a Legacy Blade Flurry section in the Guide for all people who really wanna stick with this skill. Molten Strike right now as about twice as much single target dps, while clearing even faster than Blade Flurry.

In my mind It made no sense to still use Blade Flurry, but I understand some people are upset about the harshness of the change.

Blade Flurry is totally viable and insanely good. But Molten Strike is just 30% more insane!

A question on Herald of Ice + Onslaught and Innervate

It seems that HoI is not applying either innervate or onslaught at all. I'm never getting the Onslaught buff, and as far as I can tell I'm not getting any actual cold damage from the aura. What gives?

I can actually see that when I apply HoI it gives me the extra cold damage, but a second later that extra ice damage completely disappears. The tooltip even indicates that I'm not getting the extra cold damage from HoI

I was following the old guide and have most of my points spent per the old tree, how should i go about respeccing things or can i stick with most of the nodes in the early form and refun vaal pact and go for the leech nodes and transition to the MS-AC weapon setup with out having to start over ?

Why is Molten Strike better than Blade Flurry with this Elemental Inquisitor?

Why didn't you just make a new thread for what is essentially an entirely new build?

Also, it seems stupid to label your BF guide as 3.1, when three days later you change it entirely. Leave it as 3.0 if it's not optimised, otherwise people looking for a 3.1 build are gonna think your build is complete and at least mostly optimised.

because the skill tree changed with the patch and new gems were added. vaal pact is now very close to point blank, which is really huge(50% more) for the molten strike projectiles. ancestral call makes molten strike now hit 3 times if there are 3+ mobs nearby. molten strike with ancestral call does less damage for me than blade flurry, but not if molten strike hits 3 times for each attack. molten strike is better unless maybe you are having trouble with map bosses. try it out atleast, some people hate the skill though. i am also using a different gem setup with it.

i dont think pob accounts for wildfire either. it only counts 1 projectile hitting i believe. it seems much more than 1 hit bosses. also some people forget to change the travel distance to get point blank to work.


shaper though? idk, he is alone, so ancestral call isnt worth using, isit? it might be. you can still shift click and then it will attack again on a single target. with my gear right now molten strike would do a bit less damage after replacing ancestral call. unless you could figure out how to keep him ignited and use the immolate skill gem. i'll test some things when i get there in maybe a few weeks. i don't know how many projectiles would hit shaper either. it could be much higher dps. the innervate and onslaught won't work well there.

I tried Molten Strike, It felt really laggy, slow and had no damage whatsoever compared to my Blade Flurry. Maybe I did something wrong but without changing anything else than skilltree, gems and jewels for molten strike my damage lowered for more than half. I already switched back to Blade Flurry. I know my gear isn't the best possible but I do have Lycosidae.

with MS he killed my fking league char ... gg

Molten Strike is a huge QoL nerf compared to BF. It may deal a bit more damage if you exploit the buggy interaction with Ancestral Call when you shift attack to not actually hit anything, but it gets tedious. The sound effect of MS is also awful for me.
