[3.1][HC] Scorching RF Inquisitor - cheap starter build - ZiggyD

you really helped me a lot,now i can easily do t10 maps and i was thinking any BiS items i should start saving for?it would kinda me give a nice objective to look forward to,thank you for the help

Hello Ropefly, could you check my character Kawaii_Megumin, and see what i should improve? i did this character today, it's at 65 and i can't keep RF.

Thanks.

Hey anyone tried guardians yet? I've done 3 of them on lvl 89 with lvl 19 gems and 5L scorching. It seems to lack a lot of dmg/survi. I have to run around juking things, cant just pop myself on them with rf. Im not sure if i should get more survi to be able to facetank shit or go more dmg and keep runing around with SR ;D Chimera is too strong for me.. boss itself is easy, but i lose all 6 portals on adds every time. they just "one shot" me... i die on first wave, then i go in and suddenly i have 3 waves with mini boss and cant even shield charge away from the entrance. Any possible advices? also after finishing your tree i took 2x life regen + socket passives, now going for 2xspelldmg and socket, also thinking about some max mana nodes instead as my net mana regen is 84.2 atm.
Here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/PBBRZ1st
Looking for any advices that will take me to farm Shaper and Uber Atziri ;) Thanks in advance.

One more thing: Cast rate at 2.8 is reasonable to get 8th stage of SR fast enough or should i loook for more? ;)

Okay, so thank you for replying me before, I changed my gear as you can see... but now I cannot use RF properly even having more Life and Life regeneration. Do I need more Fire Resistante? Can Intelligence increase the "burning" damage effect that has the RF on me? I don't know what can be the problem now :s
I mean, now, with this gear, the mana doesn't decrease at all whenever I try to use RF, but Life does, so.. dunno xD

Your profile is on private so I can't import your gear into path of builder.
Put your profile (on the forum itself) to public (y)
But your sockets and gems are all over the place

Are you using purity of fire ?
Did you pick up all the life regen nodes in tree ? Especially the 1.8% in the maurauder section?
Use stone golem ?

Glad it's working out now (y)
- Essence worm + good jewelry with high life mana regen + firedmg%
- A high life choas resist belt
- Scout for a really well rolled rare chest and try 6 linking.(135 + life / 50+ mana / good base so you have 500-700 armor or higher / resists) don't bother with belly it's a waste and a pain to chromatic (6l) as well.

I don't know why you use vitality but just don't.
The reason of essence worm is to have only clarity on and have a huge mana pool as extra life
4 link the RF or it's not worth using in the first place

You also don't have arcane surge which adds a lot of mana regen.
Other then that pick up deep thoughts(2 nodes) and you have a -6.8 mana regen when idle
which is enough to start mapping (arcane surge will make this 25+)

I don't have a whole lot of experience(hc only) with guardians as I haven't bothered much to kill them(practice) on softcore.
But essence worm will give a big boost in EHP, also would remove the quicksilver (and ruby?) for a granite+basalt setup to deal with the phys damage.
Maybe those things will make guardians easier.

-No, I have never used Purity of Fire before, and I have just tried it now but I still cannot use RF.
-Yes, I picked all the life regen nodes in tree.
-Yes, I use stone golem. Its gem is placed in my weapon red socket.

It took me a while to make this build work, but now it feels really good. Basalt + Granite are must-haves imo (as much as I hate being dependent on flasks, the phys dmg is just too much without them). Soul of Lunaris also helps a lot.

Thanks for making it public !

I assume you are kinda a new player?
You really need to have a 4 link scorching ray and 4 link RF to make the build work.
Your sockets are all over the place.

If you pick up combat stamina you will have enough liferegen for RF (3 nodes in the tree)
Leveling up purity of fire will give extra max fire% as well.

Your life is really low, you will need to upgrade your overall gear.
Use the poe.trade website to buy gear with high life and prefered some mana.
I also noticed your resists aren't capped this NEEDS to be 75% to both cold and lightning.

You also need fortify please look in the skillgem setup to cover all the gems.

Ok so no Vitality (thought it was needed because it gives regen), why clarity on essense worm and not purity of fire?
i didn't have time to link and put stuff in place i just rushed to 65 with tabula + scorch ray :P
arcane surge with orb of storms, curse hit and flamebability right?

thankx for the help :)

You misunderstood I meant PoF in the essence worm so you only have a small amount mana lost from running clarity ^^

Hey thanks for the guide / discussion. Absolutely crushing content now and having a blast. So the problems I have run into so far is picking up Chaos resist and Dex (Faster Attacks / Swift Affliction) In farming mode now to get some currency. Got a great catalyst last night after 9 Atziri so stuff is going well !

Been using the pob from uberdan when he killed shaper but before he went low life not sure if this will help anyone else but was like a good actual real character example early in the league. https://pastebin.com/RzRZcaaZ
