I theory crafted an inquisitor that will alternate between smite and the new spell retaliation skill to get the most out of the instruments of virtue node using the Bastion of Hope forbidden flame/flesh for 25% block of each. Stacking int and es for energy blade.
In the end I managed 78/77 block, 90 all res, 5.5k es, CI, 30k def, ailment immune and 2M Pinnacle DPS with smite all without flasks. Sadly can't POb the retaliation skill yet because it isn't in there but I am expecting big DPS from that.
Looking forward to seeing if it is actually any good once I build it.
I also helped a mate theory craft a new Lacerate max block glad for a friend and that thing is just broken..
8.5M Pinnacle DPS, 90/87 block chance, 530 health on block. Easy mana sustain and max res, 8 endurance charges.
I'm not a particularly good build maker but I enjoy it too much to follow guides. I can only assume that these can be pushed even further.
I am particularly interested in seeing the new retaliation skills. Seeing as they are active skills and conditional I am expecting them to be mini nukes if you invest into actually linking them.
