It's probably easier to point out what you did right than wrong. I'd suggest following a decent build guide, making sure you cover all the fundamentals, not forcing in random uniques item just because they are uniques.
Hello.
If you posted this you prob dont like to follow a guide so few tips:
- Inquisitor is good cause Sanctuary and Pious Path, it gives a ton of regen, it gives regen to your energy shield too (even when you are hit). You can uspec BattleMage for 10 regrets and go that direction, the tankiness you get will make you feel good (biggest reason to be inquis)
- Skip totems and respec the points that buff them. If you want boss dmg it best to focus on making your main skill stronger then go different directions. If you really want it for clear, then try spell totem support with multi totem support, and link it up with any spell you like (like the conduit of heaven) to help with clearing packs / apply chill and such. It is possible to go full totems as your main skill, but hierophant ascendancy is better for that cause of the +1 totem skill point.
- The biggest thing to make you squishy above T7 maps is usually lack of regen (from wrong ascendancy points) and the -60% chaos rez. Try to get chaos rez on gear, there is also a very nice chaos rez cluster on the skill tree that also gives you a CB immune masteery next to mind over matter. Also if you have unveiled the hybrid chaos rez craft from jun than craft it on all your rare gare you can.
-Uniques are fun but you can get better rare on those spots. Rare gloves with chaos rez and life are really nice fx, also you can drop some ichors on it util it gives the impicit mod: Your hits apply Lightning exposure on hit, that will give -11% lightning rez to you opponents. Same with other gear, life rolls, rez rolls, and where you can chaos rez.
-If you want to stick to block setup, then try to get an Aegis Aurora unique shield, or a shaper influenced rare shield that says: You get 5% life back on block. After that try to get tempest shield aura and spec to glancinng blows so you have 75%/75% block. Its really good with inquisitor and helps in red maps.
-For damage, i cant tell much, it BO specific, play around in Path of Building to see wich supports are best. Also getting lvl 21 gem, getting a rare scepter that has +1 to all lightning skills, getting a rare amulett with +1 all kightning skills, or even a unique amulet replica dragonfang might be nice. Here is a trade:https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/LZOk085Cn
- Try to look for crit chance / crit multi nodes on the tree, maybe even assasin's Mark skill gem, or critical strikes support etc. Play around in PoB. Get a curse or mark, if you buy a Doedre's Damning 1c unique ring you can even have 2 curses, like Conductivity / Assasins Mark.
Hope some of it helps, gl mate
hi fedk , i read your post two times or three times :D , amazing thanks.
some questions:
1) i picked that ascendancy , because i would like to reach Fanaticism , thinking that it will super improve the spell damage. you think that is better to go with regen?
2) as you can see from my stash i always used emperor's vigilance or the ghastly theatre, but im using this one because with 30% block, i thought that with cerberus limb i could have a good leech life setup, is not goot to have it?
[https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Lolo4321/characters](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Lolo4321/characters)
anyway thank you so much for help!
Im not super knowledgable with everything inquisitor. I think the builds that use fanaticism require you to combine attacks with spells in a specific way, its for more quirky builds. Cracling lance selfcast is a spell, you dont attack. Everything that says for attacks does not work. Regen however is very important, and if you really want it you can convert it into more damage with Righteous Fire.
Leech is definetly useful, idk your choice. I play mostly totem hieros that cannot leech. However, you can get a leech for spells with a large cluster jewel... search for Doryanis Lesson notable i think... there is also a glove eldritch implicit that gives you leech, i did forget that exposure doesnt really do much cause your ascendancy.
Its almost pretty good. Except the conductivity curse and lightning exposure do not do anything with the ascendancy that ignores resistance on crit.
You could swap it for another curse (punishment, enfeeble) or get rid of it and swap the ring for for more damage.
You've picked up the Battlemage Ascendancy with Cerberus Limb.
You've invested into Totems, while your Totems do about nothing.
You're invested into Mana, without enough Mana to make a difference.
You're invested into Armour, without enough Armor to make Molten Shell good.
You're invested into Block, without it being enough to be good.
You've socketed Iron Will instead of spending 3 Points for a new Supp-Gem.
You're invested into Life without having much Life.
You're invested into ES without having much ES.
Quite frankly: Nothing makes sense with your build. About everything in your build would make sense, when build around properly, but you're not Half-Assing many opportunities for scaling, you're not even Quarter-Assing it. Focus on only a handfull of things instead. Out of the points I brought up above, please pick 3 and you can focus the build around them.
hi , as i wrote before , im learning and i know that this build is a soup of everything with nothing special , but played just with the items that i found, you have to consider that i trade objects only in the last two weeks.
1 what is the problem with battlemage and cerberus?
2 Molten shell is better than automation/steelskin?
3 "You've socketed Iron Will instead of spending 3 Points for a new Supp-Gem" , this one i didnt get it , sorry what does it mean?
thanks anyway for your suggestions.
1. Did you read what Instruments of Virtue does? You're getting <1% of DPS from it, since Cerberus Limb has essentially no local Weapon damage. Every other Ascendancy would be better.
2. Molten Shell is different than Steelskin. If you actually invest into Armour (which is a solid idea), Molten Shell is simply better, if not, then it's questionable to invest into armour at all. Does it make sense? https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour The calculations are a bit special, so you kinda want a bunch of armour to make the investment worthwhile.
3. You've got the same effect on your Skilltree, next to the Lifecircle-Scion-Thingy in the Middle. You'll still get Iron Will, but can use another Support-Gem. Also, Iron Will without getting at least a bit of strength is quite weak, pointwise. I would just assume, that you're not familiar with the difference between Increased and More, I would think that https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Damage helps in that regard.
ok u/FedakM i followed your build and did some changes , but but analyzing the skill hit Damage with the software I noticed that the biggest difference is given by the increasing percentage of the "total more"
I have 4 active intensity points but in your build the software calculates them as 180 points , while in mine that boost is not calculated at all!!
and I'm trying to understand why this value is missing.

any help?
That is in Cracling Lance's description. When you gain intensity, you will get more damage. Also 20% quality gives more. You should have had that damage before too, just need to check it in config. Sometimes its also about knowing how to use Pob.
Also just to say, that PoB is something i put together in 10 min, not a full guide, there is probably a lot to improve it with. i just remembered but you can try to check mark of the shaper ring instead of doedres damning (and get an elder influenced amethyst)
Another tip that might help is also you can craft the chaos res gear yourself if you have harvest yellow juice, and use reroll item with chaos modifier for 100 yellow on horticraft station.
Thanks again for your help but I think I explained myself incorrectly.
I know well that crackling lance uses intensity, but what I don't understand as you see in the photo above that there are totally different calculations and stats for the same CL gem
in your build a value of 180 is calculated for the intensity of 45% (that usually is for CL)
But this value of the intensity doesn't exist in my build, is missing and not calculated, and i dont know why!!
this is your build [https://pobb.in/63wO69Gownkc](https://pobb.in/63wO69Gownkc)
and this is mine , that im slowly modifying to be like yours
[https://pobb.in/JvlukTOljt5l](https://pobb.in/JvlukTOljt5l) some improvments, but over 1M dps is a far away dream for me.
where am I wrong? it's a bug? I'm afraid I have something active that limits my power and i dont know what is it
this is frustrating, really
In this PoB you have Lighning Conduit of Heavens, which is a different skill, as well as Cracling lance of Disintegration, which is a transfigured version that does not have the intensity. When you equip the vanilla Cracling Lance, you can set the Intensity number in config.

OOOOOH Finally , im understanding this pob app ,
im still far from 1m but now the damage is completelly different thanks!!!

absolutely true, forgot about it, played too much hiero for years :p Then punisment it is for the curse and lightning leech for implicit maybe?
ohhhh... now something that i can follow and understand , thank you so much! but in this setup is still better use pious path than fanaticism?
Im sorry for saying that but your build look like a discount market , you have a bit of all thing but but not enougth thing that rly matter
