Why Reap?
We could basically use any physical damage aoe spell with the same setup. However I chose reap because of how the skill feels and looks.
I've heard opinions that the skill has got a blind spot. This has not been an issue to me with awakened spell cascade. Sometimes though, it is quite finnicky to hit all 4 reaps on one target to maximize your dps.
Why cold?
Cold damage is the best damage type in regards to defense. If the enemy can't move, they can't kill you. From an offensive side, hatred is the best damage aura if you can use both effects it provides. We can also very easily covert to cold with the use of unique gloves Hrimsorrow.
Why inquisitor?
This ascendacy provides everything we could ask for.
In terms of defense we get great recovery from consecrated ground and reduced curse effect on us. In terms of offense we get to ignore enemy resistances on hits that are critical strikes and considerable amounts of increased critical strike chance, if we take advatage of one of the ascendacies mechanics. Details will be explained later. Gem Links
