Unfortunately i didn’t record run with maiden + fabius in final wave, build was able to facetank them both almost entire fight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-Good aoe
-No energy issues whatsoever
-Decent resist reduction
-2 circuit breakers
-Heretics burn from your mere presence
-Doesn’t require any set, can work with different items
Cons
-Not a outstanding dmg against high fire res targets(Im looking at you Iron Blitzer)
-Placing thermite mines beneath some enemies can be tricky
Character Stats
With constant auras and Word of Renewal
Gear
Build is very flexible in gear department because we don’t have any dedicated set that support fire Flame of Ignaffar. Yes you might say that there 3 pieces of Ignaffar armor(hands, chest and legs), but they outside of + to FoI kinda bad, resists are joke, every item have like 30% chaos res and nothing else(hands also have 50% fire res) i don’t really now what reason behind this decision because inquisitor have innate chaos res in face of Word of Renewal.
We can use pretty much anything, our goal is to get FoI to 26/16, also it is nice to have BWC at 22/12 too. Fortunately we have plenty of items that give such bonuses like Incendiary Casque, Incendiary Shoulderplates, Ugdenbog Flamestrife, Zarthuzellan’s Codex, Iron Maiden’s Mantle, Benn’Jahr’s Shoulderguards. With an exception of nemesis shoulders other items are easy to get.
Leveling guide
I recommend start new char in crucible if you have it, just go here and die on first wave to get level 2 and pick inq mastery and Storm box.After that just do first 10 waves to get tributes which you can spend on devotion points from one of merchants in crucible do it for first 5 or 10 devotion points after that this gets too expensive. At level 7 drop storm box and equip Searing Ember ( at level 15 upgrade it to Flintcore Bolts). When i was levleing this char i rushed inq mastery to 50 to get aura of censure. With combination of Aura and Greater fireblast i was able to easy and fast clear Veteran. At around level 40-50 this combination starts to fall off, this is time where you should respec into ranged firestrike which will carry you all the way into ultimate, then depending on your items you can start to build around FoI/BWC.
Some crucible tips
You cant just faceroll everything that you see, while build is sturdy your life depends on your knowledge.
Notable enemies:
Anasteria. Watch out for her barrage of aether missiles, they strip your resistances, also if you dont have any circuit breakers better wait and only then engage her.
Mad Queen. Watch out for her red aura while its active she spews tonns of deadly projectiles , you can facetank her with seal + blast shield tho, but better use burn dmg and kite her.
Iron Maiden. Our most hated nemesis, not only because she deals crap tonn of phys dmg, but also cause of her high fire res. You can facetank her, just manage your heals.
In closing
Build was very fun to play and relatively easy to gear, but i wish that crate give us dedicated set to fire FoI caster.
Good luck and have fun
