Purifying Flame of Revelations build

​

I started a channel a few leagues ago for my off-meta and, honestly, terrible builds. I thought it would be fun to share my ridiculous creations with the world, but then I got better at making builds (or maybe I just got lucky). So this is the first episode in the new series:

Pocho's Not So Shitty Builds

Purifying Flame of Revelations does a bit of damage with the initial spell hit and a good deal more damage in a larger area with the Shockwave to enemies on consecrated ground. With the updates to socket colors, you can now get an extra 15% more damage with the Shockwave if the gem is in a blue socket. Pair this with a 25% quality Ashes of the Stars and 20% quality on the gem, and you have 234.5% more damage from the Shockwave.

The skill has decent effectiveness, so I figured Battlemage would be a good choice. Inquisitor also has the spell crit equal to main hand weapon crit ascendancy node, so crit cap was easy. Pair this with the staff updates and both damage and defenses are pretty great.

A little bit of AoE investment on the tree and a lot of cast speed investment made this build explode. Using Mana-Infused Staff and inspiration support, I was able to keep the mana cost low, allowing for high cast speed (roughly 7 casts per second) with a moderate amount of mana regen.

Defenses are essentially block and a huge life pool. Hybrid Life/ES with Zealot's Oath and big regen keeps RF up and recovery high. Without that regen, fire damage leech implicit on gloves keeps life topped off.
