So I already have a level 100 Inquisitor Wild Striker, and the 100% conversion buff is going to send his damage off the charts. The problem with this obviously being that reflect is now completely impossible outside of a single mob. So I'm going to build a "Better than Inquisitor" Wild Strike Elementalist.

Since Wild Strike counts as all 3 elemental types, Mastermind of Discord is working 24/7. Add Elemental Equilibrium and Elemental Weakness, and a few skill tree nodes, and you've got yourself 100% penetration vs most mobs. Now add in 100% Elemental damage which will proc during boss fights, 50% reduced elemental damage reflected, and double golems lightning + ice.

Elemental Equilibrium won't always provide the penetration obviously in cases where you proc the same element twice in a row, but the majority of the attacks will gain the penetration. And in the instances where you don't you've still got 50% penetration for the .15 seconds until you attack with another element again.

Add all that to the fact that Witch has a better starting point for CI + crit, it makes it easy to choose Elementalist over Inquisitor.

Editing out the stupid sentence xD

Wait you're right I'm too tired to think lmao. Went from thinking about 100% conversion back to thinking about 60% conversion.

It won't be as fast as an inquisitor, it will be safer though

Safer is good, but how would it be slower? Its got more AoE, more attack speed, more elemental damage, access to more crit / attack speed on tree due to not having to travel across the witch area from templar. Not saying you're wrong just curious on the reasoning. I don't think Elemental Equilibrium giving certain mobs 50% resists is going to do much to slow it down overall. IDK

if you somehow achieve 6.66 attacks per second with this :drool:

but need to be careful about 66.6 reflect

My Inquisitor has 13 attacks per second but maybe I can tone it down to 6.66 for the buff? lol

Also just thought of something else, Inquisitor speed would require capped crit, where the Witch version can be done non crit if you wanted, and still ignore all resistances. So definitely a better option for a new league imo
