Fanaticism Needs Adjustments

The node is fine. Channeling skill interaction needs to be fixed though.

Then by your definition the node isn't fine.

For me the main problem is actually a short time available for casting..

I was trying Fanaticism with Flameblast and believe me I put it in 16% more cast speed shaper gloves with 20lvl faster casting. And usually I was barely able to cast a single spell -
I know 4 sec with that much cast speed seems a lot, but think about it:
- usually you are busy with attacking (to get the charges)
- then you need to realize that you were just granted fanaticism (which is not that easy if you're not constantly looking on buff icons on the top)
- then you need to dodge / position yourselve and if you're lucky there will be some large pack/boss nearby to make use of your powerful spell, but otherwise - good luck in finding some in 2 sec you got left
- then finally aim and cast

So from my experience every single usage of Fanaticism was fighting for being able to even use it, which was not fun at all..

Which I think is a shame becaue the idea itself is really cool.

I think the idea from another post on this forum could be alright (spend fanaticsm charges when you want/need them) maybe with some tweaking.
Also it could be just a much simpler adjustment like dropping to 3 charges and granting 6 sec, or staying with 4 charges and granting e.g. 8 sec
I don't think it would make the ascendancy too powerful - it would make it playable, because right now it's not and (GGG) - you gonna end up with another dead ascendancy (just look at the statistics on poe.ninja - only 3% are playing inquisitor and only 5% of them are using Fanaticism , so if that's not dead - I don't know what is)

Anyway, hope some changes will be made here next league.
Cheers!

Oh Fanaticism, how I wish thee was usable after thrice leagues.

Rip Inquisitor.
