I've been working on a Purifying Flame inquisitor using the new Legacy of the Rose staff. The build is easy to start, scales incredibly well and can clear all content. You could take it to over 200 million damage by focusing on DPS (better be softcore though). Alternatively you can reach 60-70million DPS even with dropping Doryani Prototype and running an ephemeral garb on your merc.

As a bonus, you can summon the shaper frequently to hit for 50 million on demand (this is best seen in the video on the cortex fight). This will easily cap the shock on the target, and while it cant be evaded, it can be blocked.

The PoB below is the setup I recommend, its pretty flexible depending on what you want to do. It has multiple loadouts and an extensive notes section for my thoughts and important aspects of the build.

The video above was mostly filmed using the mageblood variant before I included Melding of the Flesh. The flasks have changed as a result but the PoB should be tankier with a tiny bit less damage (145 to 135 million).

Budget - 5 Divs - 7 Million DPS

Mid Tier - 50 divs - 115 Million DPS

Mageblood - 300 Divs - 135 Million DPS, 90% all res.

I haven't even included a lot of the potential gains to be had by outfitting the merc with %aura gear, nor did I include more than trivial shock values, which could be boosted further.

I highly recommend giving it a shot and would appreciate any feedback!
