Hello there,

I'm playing a bit with your build on PoB and Trickster or even Assassin seems to be constantly above Inquisitor (by far)

I know you pick Inquisitor mostly for Life Regen with consecrated ground, but I don't really see how ~300hp/s more regen will change radicaly the build. I guess it's not the same in game, with pantheon and your build what regen should we be expecting ? 1000hp/s ? same as an eternal flask ? more/less ?

My goal is to speedfarm obviously for leveling past 95, doing boss with BV/Tendrils is like 1% of timeplay. I don't really see where consecrated ground can challenge power/frenzy charges generation and others buff (movement speed, free movement skill, etc...). I don't even take into consideration other talents, crit and penetration should be approximatively at the same level between specs in term of dps.

What am I missing ?

Thanks Bash,

I know numbers are just numbers, that's why I wanted to have more feedback about life regen in real situation (which is the main purpose of picking Inqui).

For my tests, with the exact same stuff (classic random stuff, but doesn't really matter to compare between builds so not 100% optimized, cast/second is equivalent between build)

Ranked by dps :

Trickster : https://pastebin.com/fX94iSzT
Assassin : https://pastebin.com/6d4wENmX
Inquisitor : https://pastebin.com/2S1pixDZ
Ascendant : https://pastebin.com/5a4PDxnb

Inquisitor is above ascendant just when we are on consecrated ground
Trickster loose a bit of freez/shock potential with chaos damage part, gain free movement but I guess it's not a problem with the mana regen of the build.
Assassin seems better on paper, specially with power charge generation and crit chance, maybe on high end bosses penetration can take back the first place ? (not the goal to farm boss however) and we loose the regen part, relying only on flasks / gameplay.

I know some class have more passive point than others (power charges mainly) but it just to have a global idea before picking one for flashback ;)

Ps : Your guide is really nice and for now I think I will test inqui version just to have my own idea on the regen part

Yeah seems fair that Inqui is smoother in game :)

And I totally forgot about "Overcharged", thanks for your input !

Last question : about Hazardous Research, between your guide and your build you took out one of them (I guess in favor of The Long Winter for boss fight). I saw people running with 1 or 2 a bit randomly..

What's your opinion about it, worth to keep 2 or a big damage one may be better ?

for lightning tendril and glacial cascade single target setup why would you use 2 gem slots on glacial cascade & CWC instead of gems to make LT deal more damage/leech life so you can just sit and facetank everything
