Non-Aegis Spark Inquisitor Final Thoughts

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to share my thoughts and experience about Spark Inquisitor league start. I've followed Goratha's 3.17 guide and then, after I gathered some currency, took some ideas from this guide . I've decided to stay with spell suppression and don't respec into Aegis+Melding because I was kinda satisfied with this build results.

Let's talk about basic aspects of the build:

1. Clearspeed 7/10. Feels nice and fast, final version easily freezes non-boss enemies. Spark has great offscreen capability which adds a lot of survivability.

2. Survivability 9/10. I've cleared all non-uber content deathless. My old man has almost 9k ES+HP, ~5k combined regen without RF and ~2.5k with RF. 100% spell suppression and 30k armour. I've pushed Simu to wave 29 first try and killed both bosses simultaneously on wave 28. I've died once levelling from 94 to 95 doing juiced maps and invitations.

3. Single target 7/10. PoB says ~3m if we check all boxes and we can sustain everything except Sigil of Power stages. Tornado provides ~60% more damage (this video has calculations) and 10% cull, so it's 5m dps with no walls around. If there are some walls and you can position yourself correctly, you can expect 8-10m dps. Since you can facetank almost everything (shaper balls btw) and you don't have to move around, your dps is consistent.

4. Budget is kinda hard to estimate. I've leaguestarted this build and spark act leveling was one of the smoothest expieriences. Old man's gear took ~50ex overall (the half of that is Awakened Spell Echo + Harmony of Purpose jewels). But you only need 6 link and 10c/piece gear to clear non-juiced T16 kinda comfortably. Also build uses 0 uniques which is great for a budget league starter. I've struggled a little bit on yellow maps before uber lab, but after that everything was smooth and nice.

Overall I'd say that Inquisitor is best QoL ascendancy: you don't care about curses and degens, you easily cap crit chance and ignore resists.

The gear is definetely not something unreal, I'm lacking maxres armour implicits and some regen here or there. It doesn't feel like you can scale non-aegis version much higher.

Unfortunately there won't be any videos, but the build is kinda generic. You can just watch Goratha's videos and multiply the DPS by 1.5.

Feel free to ask any questions and share your experience!
