I am trying an inquisitor variant at the moment. It seems I am losing lots of utility comparing to saboteur but replacing elemental focus with concentrated effect boosts my ignite dps way too much. I am not sure how good consecrated ground is but it will boost my mana regen and life regen nicely and in addition to that I will get more consistent crits. Probably saboteur is better and %100 uptime at vaal grace should solve my problem but anyway I am just brainstorming before next league to decide which class to play FNM with.
Thanks for the response mate. Have a nice day.

Inquisitor FNM

Inquisitor got some nice nodes, I also switched ascendancy from sabo to assassin for boss killing and some nice extra dps and I must say ... man I am missing sabo. Saboteur makes this build sooo much smoother to play. If you want to do lots of maps I would really go for saboteur. The increased aoe with each mine and most importantly the increased mine arming speed is insane. Without the mine arming speed from the sabo ascendancy it needs so much time until you can trigger the mines after you layed them down, I never thought the difference would be so huge. I really advise you to test this build out with sabo next league , you will enjoy it way more :) guaranteed.

I like the idea with consecrated ground though. I have to think about how we could implement it in the build without goin inquisitor. Maybe gifts from above ring + sulfur flask. Not sure if GfA works with mines though.



Edit: tested it and it works, hmm thank you mate for that idea, i try to work it into the build

bump cause i need to sell my 6l covenant xD

Hey man. I really like the concept of the build. Just wonder can't Saboteur still kill end-game bosses or just take more time. I'm planning to roll a char that can be a bit of both world (mapping then boss then mapping again, but will mainly be mapping). Thanks

I feel that saboteur doesn't provide the damage you need for hard bosses. Saboteur is super convenient for mapping and makes it sooo much smoother, but if you wanna focus on boss killing I would switch to assassin to get the extra crit, and then get controlled destruction back in for the crit support gem for maximum damage.

I build Fire Nova Mine Saboteur for the 1week race and got to lvl 87 with it.
Thx for the guide, was a good help!

EO sucks since it nearly never procs.

Ripped at LvL 81 in SSF HC.

As you mentioned.. Don't play the build without Covenant anymore.

With around 5k life and no ES/Life Regenaration because of Eldritch Battery and Zealoth's Oath (because of the HUGE need of mana) the build get's VERY squishy.

Impossible to Shield Charge right into the packs and so the playstyle get's dumped a lot. The amound of damage taken is crazy.

Sorry to hear. Yes, I feel that the covenant chest is mandatory.
