I posted my +7 Pyroclast Infernal Mantle that dropped from Vaal Temple for me a while back and needed to do a build with it cause of Touhou item memes. Took the initial thoughts from /u/Kidlaze and /u/Daedaloys to try Inquisitor with Malachai's Simula and completely winged it from there.
Turned out to be one of the best feeling builds I've ever played due to the big boy damage, comfy inquis defenses, and the amount of offscreening/autotargeting Astral Projector brings. Had no idea how well that functioned.
Don't know how to calculate mines damage but I phase normal Sirus with him barely being able to start an attack on all phases, so if you get setup time it ramps to 20/30m? No idea.
It's super sketch on ubers, probably easy if you fit in Melding/Aegis (getting max res with the new changes might be too hard without purity of ice and chest implicit), but I was kinda done with the league after hitting 38 challenges with it. Still managed to take down Uber Sirus by myself after 10 (lol) attempts. I'm also really bad at not running into storms. More than comfortable on all other content as you'd expect from glancing blows inquis, could use a bit more armor.
Plenty of room to improve the build, way overcapped on crit, could move plenty around and use clusters, and probably did plenty of things wrong since I didn't have much of an example to work off of.
Also I didn't go overleech with machinas mitts since as inquis you lose as much regen (about 500 life and 500 es) as leech gained (1K) even with 4 power charges due to it's penalty, plus you lose all the benefits of a regular glove and it's influences.
A regular LL Sab build might be better damage, hard to tell since ninja builds have insane clusters/jewels, but I'd imagine with investment Inquis is comfier. Also memes.
Mostly just wanted to say thanks for the ideas and making my meme build a reality.
