Inquisitor ascendancy
|
So I've been playing alot of rf inquisitor recently even in HC but the problem is that 4th ascendancy point is not good.
You're pretty much forced to take Righteous Providence because thats the only thing that makes sense. Looking at other ascendancies they all have 2 or 3 ascendancy paths that only require 2 points with generic good stuff for their classes, with the exception of raider having 3 paths with 4 points but they're all pretty good. If you play inquisitor but don't want to go into crit or battlemage there isn't really any other good choice for your ascendancy. I wish there would be another standalone 2 point ascendancy with generic good stats, maybe a little bit of defense to balance with the tons of damage that the ascendancy already provides?

" that is not something exclusive to inquisitor, a lot of builds run into the same problem where we choose an ascendancy for 2 or 3 nodes and the rest have little to no effect. wish all ascendancy had a new branch of small nodes that each grant a small % of more damage, life, ES and mana. self found league fan

Do you have examples?
I've taken a look through other ascendancies and most 2 points paths usually have generic good stats for most builds. Righteous providence is quite the extreme case where you pretty much gain nothing from it except a bit of hp, which is very sad for 2 ascendancy points. If you take something like Augury of Penitence thats generic good for elemental damage. Last edited by demon7310#6336 on Oct 8, 2023, 10:46:13 AM

Hiero build that doesnt use totems or brands has a dead 4th node. Which is what always stops me from doing some form of self cast hiero build.
But righteous providence does at least provide 100% uptime of ele overload for your fire trap so its not completely useless. |

Ele overload is pretty useless on firetrap as it doesn't works for the ignite/burning ground so it's pretty bad in the end, I don't even path over there

It works for ignite and the initial hit. Its not as good as it would be on a regular hit build but there are a lot of good passives nearby that a lot of RF builds path too.
Aint the greatest but you at least get something out of the ascendancy point. Its a 10% damage increase for my RF which is better than nothing. |

I don't like pathing to EO for HC, it's too far for my tree.
I go for 6 life masteries and I stay in the inquisitor/marauder area. Fire trap is mostly about the burning ground anyway, and EO doesn't helps rf so its a pretty bad choice unless you're literally next to it yes |

Ah gotcha. This was from a softcore perspective.

" So you picked an ascendancy for pious path alone? Just own it Also EO works on every part of fire trap That being said I get the feedback so you mean having a few dump passives essentially that give a generic bonus just for when the other nodes aren't acceptable? It isn't much of an addition but equally its not bad either. Last edited by Draegnarrr#2823 on Oct 8, 2023, 1:41:40 PM

It doesnt work for the burning ground it creates. It works for everything else.
