For Essence Hardcore, do you believe the build with would work effectively as a CI Witch Occulist centralized around Grand Spectrum Viridian Jewels instead of crit? (I can get up to 16 jewels at 1,280% inc. ele dmg total in tree and by not basing my character around crit, I could get Resolute Technique to guarantee hits to make up for considerably inferior dexterity/accuracy rating and I would use RotC since Harbinger crit is irrelevant. Also allows me to replace the diamond flask with something else, etc.).

with 16 jewels you end up having 7k-8k ES max with really really good gear. i had a 15 jewel setup as lvl 100, i had 8.8k ES with GG gear.



1280 increased damage with RT is equal to,
220% increased damage 400 crit multi.(100+220) x 4) which is very easy to get;

1280% increased damage as crit is,
250% increased damage with 450 crit multi, considering how much investment 16 grand spectrum tree requires, with such dps investment, you can get 350% increaed damage and 500 crit multi, trust me.

GS jewels are for EA, herald of thunder builds, RF builds etc.

Alright, so I suppose critical hits are too essential to remove from the build and I'd be sacrificing a little more ES than intended. Is the standard given Pathfinder the best way to go about this even in Essence Hardcore? Or would it work better in terms of survivability to revamp the Occulist in a different manner?

probably occultist with valyrium ring is the way to go in HC. almost stun immune with valyrium, more ES, no need for skyforth. you just need anti shock flask on all the time, that'd be all.

I have this


Any way to replace one G gem for blue for TS and what would u recommend?

And in terms of passives, maybe I reduce the amount of grand spectrums to something like 10 (and an Energy from Within at that one point with life/ES nodes) to focus more on energy shield and crit chance/multiplier? Also not sure whether I should use one or two Vinktar's, granted I only have access to the non-legacy version in EHC.

Did you now, that's quite a jewel.. somehow i think your not telling the truth here..unless you used intuitive leap to get +1 in which case you either pathed miles out of your way or you went inquisitor in which case... i dont even know...

As you dont know the easiest way to get +1 curse is corrupted Self-Flagellation Viridian Jewel
18% increased Damage per Curse on You
You can have one additional Curse

no inquisitor play no traveling just use 1 jewelslot for the jewel and you have already 2 curses to play around with. Thats not a big secret or sience method. this jewel cost 1 chisel in essence league so you can easily get one.

To be honest Mathils build is ok can be used for a league starter is quite cheap and you get good dmg, but i dont like to play inquisitor because his potential of dmg is capped. So on the best side when monsters have capped elemental resist you ignore 75% resist at max you cannot utilize curses, penetration gems or nodes on the tree, enchants and you have to crit otherwhise your dmg just sucks.
And the biggest problem is getting a lot of crit for bow builds is hard to reach even harder as inquisitor.


for giving you a example of rings & amys i was using


Yes i invested a bit in this build thats true but its like with every ohter build investing into your build will not make it worse ;)

WHAT ?! LOL ! Dude this is curse on YOU ! You not the mobs rofl !

for budget option since we convert our damage mostly to fire damage, chin sol must be really good for this build.

maybe for those who are having +2 barrage enchantment and +1 signal, it might be better than reach actually.

*self flagallation does not work on mobs but you, you get +1 curse on YOUrself. that is the tricky part : )

WHAT ?! LOL ! Dude this is curse on YOU ! You not the mobs rofl !

now again slowly
corrupted Self-Flagellation Viridian Jewel

ilvl: 81

14% increased Damage per Curse on You <- irrelevant !!!
-> You can have one additional Curse <- relevant!!!


since i have no curse nodes and not a corrupted +1 curse amulet or boots that give me +1 because of skyforth thats the way

i dont know if this is a bug or intendet but it works both ways

I am playing this build on Essence Hardcore. Here is my gear:

With 4 power charges and the Increased Critical Strikes gem socketed into my Tornado Shot and Barrage links, I am at 60% critical strike chance? What can I do to improve my crit chance and/or damage (other than +1 arrow on my quiver and +2 Barrage projectiles on my helm)?

Thanks

Hi are you factoring in your diamond flask into the %crit? I'd get another pc totaling 5 + your diamond flask and you should be good to go.

May I suggest using the 6l for barrage and the 5l your aoe skill? Also with testing, LA is incredible if you have the DPS to support it. By the look of it, you should be able to comfortable sustain and clear higher end maps with LA. Have you given it a shot over TS?

Wed + gmp + tornado shot + PPAD + Inc crit multi + Physical to lightning

OR

Wed + gmp + LA + Chain + inc crit multi + ele focus ( lightning pen if you need to shatter i.e. a map with porcupines)

In testing, even with "budget" gear with a RoTC I found LA better than TS for most everything besides Shaper. Shaper becomes an issue during his ad phase where the frontloaded DPS of TS comes in handy.
