[3.0] 100% Ele Conversion BV Inquisitor - Life Based - Cheap

so after the 100% ele conversion from physical to lightning and the unique gloves, do you still benefit from gain extra ele damage from physical damage effects or would it give you 0 dmg because all physical dmg are converted? For example taste of Hate or added fire gem?

yap, you will still get extra damage from taste of haste.
this is potential build, you may facetank shaper laser beam

Do you think added fire support is ok instead of elemental focus on a 6L cuz I still want to freeze and shock mobs? maybe switch out Inc critical for elemental focus when bossing? Or would Inc critical be too important to swap because of the 100% pen when critical acendency?

Your 6 link should always have Inc Crit Strikes and Ele Focus. Take out Ele Focus for Controlled Destruction if you want to freeze and shock.

Thanks for the detailed guide. I'm still busy leveling but I can't wait to try this build in maps.

Looking at the theory, don't you think the suggested defensive setup is kinda squishy? I'm planning to consistently clear red maps in HC to get done with the more grindy challanges, so long-term survivability is key for the purpose I'd like to make this build work for.

What do you think about this:

- replace the sceptre/shield combo with Pledge of Hands
- Use the additional link for Life Leech support gem
- swap out Warlord's Mark for Enfeeble
- don't run Hatred and go MoM with a huge manapool instead

A level 20 Life Leech gem gives us a whooping 38% leech, which provides insane sustain along with VP. Therefore, we can ditch Warlord's Mark and get Blasphemy/Enfeeble instead, which is huuuuge for any build that needs to get close to mobs. Also, by not using Hatred we get a big mana buffer for MoM.

On the downside, we lose Hatred and Shield Charge/Fortify. However, dps-wise, the whole point of the build is to convert to Ele and get insane dps scaling from OP Inquis mechanics (cheap ele crit/pen). So missing out on Hatred won't hurt our dps too much.

Any other suggestions on how to make the build tankier?

Your ideas are all great, but they do NOT work with this build. Not at all.

If you want to do that, choose a berserker. All your ideas work well with that class. Many people are doing that with great success. Berserker gets free life leech, so you can skip the life leech gem. You can then use pledge of hands/kaoms for extra mana and health, making it more HC viable. Hatred is the only aura you would need, possibly even in an essence worm for massive MoM synergy.

This build doesn't work with pledge of hands, and it requires warlord's mark. You could try otherwise, but I guarantee it wouldn't be optimal.

Thanks for the input, that makes sense I guess. I can see how my suggestions would synergize a lot better with the Zerker ascendancy.

So are you implying that this build isn't HC viable and we should rather opt for an optimized Zerker build for that purpose?

Or is it just a matter of tweaking the Inquisitor build more towards tankiness, and if so, how could that be achieved? I kinda don't wanna give up on the project yet =/

Depending on your goals, I think Ele BV is fine for HC. Pushing for 100? Sure. Farming Shaper, doable but there are builds that are much safer. Uber Lab Farmer? Wouldn't bother, lol.

How is this build in parties?

Warlord's Mark might interfere with other people's curses and vice versa. Besides that it' just good ol' BV.
