Pledge of Hands + Kaoms (firestorm?)

Iron will is only relevant if you have a LOT of str. You would need like 500 Str to get a 100% increased, and that is not much.

Firestorm goes with increased duration, Empower, Fire penetration (if you dont go templar) concentrated effect, Increased aoe (if you want, i prefer my firestorm small and manageable, not a gem I would recommend), controlled destruction and elemental focus. You already have echo in your staff, so i'm not counting that.

Why would 75% of the hits deal only 35%? as you say map bosses have 30-45% so you would be doing around 75 to 80% of the damage. And the map res mods give like +75% res, making any single res curse pointless thanks to boss curse resistance.

Because we're assuming a worst-case scenario, which is where it should be at its best. Seems I removed that line at some point! Whoops.
I am dealing 94 to 109% Damage where you're dealing 75-80% btw :P

Yeah, brain fart there, edited my original post with the counterargument that is not that hard to get high crit chance.

The main reason I would prefer Inquisitor is that curses are so powerful as a defensive measures that not using them for that is a waste. Damage is easy to get, defenses are not.

That's why I went Occultist over Elementalist, yeah. TC + Enfeeble is amazing, and Warlord's Mark allows Firestorm to stunlock most Rares. So good. Flammability is my fourth Curse.

Me too :P, my firestorm witch is a 5 curse Occultist, (Enfeeble, Temp Chains, Ass Mark, WL Mark and Flammability cause there isn't any other useful curse left :P) WL mark also allows me to actually cast my spells, since i'm using voidbringers and that takes my firestorm to like 300 mana cost :P

I managed to find a Kaoms heart

So far this is what I've thought of
Inquisitor for glass cannon crit

Kaom's Heart isn't normally used for glass cannon builds I think!

This is all getting so confusing :S

Someone also suggested to go scion and pick something from berserker/inquisitor/raider and do dual or triple curse.

haha yeah, theorycrafting is quite confusing in PoE and each player has his own way of improving their characters. I would recommend you to go to the PoE wikia, read a bit about the theory and then try your own thing. You may fail, but it will definitely improve your knowledge of this game.

Im not sure what you mean by read the theory from wiki. Like what is the theory? :D

Mechanics, like the order in which the different defensive layers work, the relationship between more and increased damage, effect and duration of status effects, curse effectiveness, average monster resistance, armor and evasion values, etc etc etc.

I kinda got sold on inquisitor.
Going for the conc ground one since with firestorm, it would have 100% uptime i belive.
I can also get elemental overload
Templar start is also really good.

Maybe also run dual curse or anger + warlords or enfeeble for some def.
