[2.4][EHC] ThickAndCreamy's CI Crit Inquisitor Flameblast Totems Variant using Crude Bow
 This is my variation on the Inquisitor Flameblast Totems builds popularised at the moment due to the fix in 2.4.0c: " The dagger version (both Life and CI variants) has been well documented, for example, here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1730745 And the CI bow version I used is also documented, for example, here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1731843 This variant utilises the strength of CI and Soul Strike quiver, but with access to a second 6L and wielding a bow, applies curses and gains power/frenzy charges from range while totems are on the front lines. This totem placement/bow attack play-style synergizes well with the Inquisitor Instruments of Virtue ascendancy node. Furthermore, the use of frenzy and power charges really makes this variant very attractive. My initial concern with this variant was not having enough cast speed, but with over 100% cast speed, this seems to be sufficient (40% from tree, 30% from Instruments of Virtue, 12% from frenzy charges, 20% from onslaught, 36% from Vaal Haste). " Below is my gear in EHC just before I ripped at level 85 (rip video included in the video section below), this gear is far from optimised (I was still trying to essence the item level 84 Vaal Regalia to 700+ ES and Hubris Circlet to 300+ ES), but the bow is almost finished, I just needed to craft attack speed when Tora reached level 6. The 12% Increased Flameblast Radius Uber Labyrinth enchant is very nice so the Increased Area of Effect gem isn't really needed. Notes on crafting the Crude Bow are also given below. The links I was using at the time are shown in the gear section, but potential final gem links also outlined below. Importantly, we are using a +3 bow and empower (only level 2 at the time), to give Flameblast +5! Eventually, with a level 21 Flameblast and level 4 empower, this would equate to a level 28 Flameblast! Gear
