Thanks, hope you’'ll like this one as well 
I have never tried Ixilor actually, that’s interesting item!
Yews. You can even convert some of it and it also has lifesteal now on the proc which is pretty sweet
I’ve been dying to try cold FoI, looks awesome!

You should try it if you have Farrath’s Cube, visually the cold cone looks great and Cold Cone is classical RPG skill.

I have the cube, just don’t have an inquisitor build leveled to use it.
The closest one would be Itachi, who mains regular FoI and blade trap, and would die in seconds if not for mobility and dodge/evade. But nothing feels greater than blade trapping a mob and roasting it while it stands there helpless

I don’t think Firozo’s setup is that much better, honestly. They are different and both great. But add Anguish belt to Nery’s, and countless runs to perfect the time, and the gap would not be that huge.
However, my suggestion would be to fix oa at all costs, Shadow Queen or Calamitous Desires, maybe drop an Arcanum Dust or two. Too much dmg is being wasted when you don’t crit with that +124% crit on FoI.

OK will try with higher OA. But I tried Shadow Queen, this is better without doubt. I can try Skyshard augment.
I think Firozo made a good call of choosing Calamitous over Shadow Queen for oa. Shadow Queen’s big downside is no % DoT. However, Dark Dreams is also a powerhouse with that mod.
BTW why use RoS when you got fumble on FoI? I think SS for mobility and extra little DoTs would be better.
Big congrats Nery! Very good performance and a very good foi build! Can you please post your char file too, if you want to? I would like to take this for a spin!
And people called cold foi a meme…

Black flame is nice, you can also take the 2H ranged weapon like Spanks.
Damage wise chaos should have the best DPS but it’s awkward since lots of FoI damage is actually DoT and you can’t convert it. I experimented last few days with different FoI setups, fire Purifier with 2 pieces Cyclone and Warpfire it’s interesting. Spanks tried 2H Arcanor tri-elemental Mage Hunter. Definitely FoI have unexplored potential.

Started from Omnitrio’s Fire + Lightning FoI Paladin, ended at what seems to be your Fire brother:

Would you mind taking a look for some optimizations since your guy is similar? I tested it Crucible for Energy usage and it was fine (I drank a pot occassionaly). Not maxing Infernal Purge to 20 because additional Energy usage is noticeable.

Like your ideas.
I tried fire version but as Purifier. Didn’t like the survival, which is odd. I took Consumption of Agrivix as off hand, it have Foi modifier.
For energy regen I used 3x Arcanum Dust and 2x Creed’s Cunning. I think for casters that’s good combo.
I like your devotions map but still it’s bad to have only 6% permanent physical resitance. If you can net Formidable prefix on chest and use 1x seal of might maybe will be better. I would use Shadow Queen medal, no DoT damage but skill bonus and mod to Censure.
Btw another idea for FoI build:

Thanks, I’ll comply with your tips (and also wear Fatewaver’s Raiment - it’s too good to pass up).
Your build is charming, Arcanor, no conversions, pure elemental damage and Arcanist.
It’s hard to grasp for me why it has such good times with so little RR.
Btw I’ve just found out Rektby once did a dual-wielding Mage Hunter

Here’s the fire Infiltrator after corrections: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/1NXX0G9N
Only 5% more Phys Res but considerably more Armor. Also Arcane Spark (makes a tremendous difference) and different Devotion (Chariot, Ulzuin instead of Seru). What I disliked about Seru + Sage combo is having to bind Flames of Ignaffar to one of them (because neither Inquisitor Seal nor Blade Barrier can be bound to them) and then you need to proc i.e. Elemental Storm (or Eldritch Fire/Rumor) with Inquisitor Seal which kinda sucks. Procing i.e. Storms with FoI is instantaneous, their number is higher and they are better placed.

And here’s a Chillheart conversion variant for comparison that I have
made for myself for chilling out in Main Campaign, no pun intended.

Also here’s a comparison between how Cold FoI looks with lowest,
performance settings vs slightly tweaked:
For me it’s Crucible vs Main Campaign settings.
