Divine Ire
Inquisitor build

Updated for Patch 3.6

The Best Crafty Guides by Odealo

Estimated budget: medium

Divine Ire is one of the newest skills added to the game in patch 3.6. It's channeling skill, that after drawing enough energy from surroundings unleashes powerful energy beam. Sounds familiar, right? If you were a fan of Dragon Ball series, then it's the best skill for you, because it feels and looks like Kamehameha. It's Physical Damage skill with conversion to Lightning Damage, so it scales with both of these damage sources. On top of that Righteous Providence and Inevitable Judgement scale the damage insanely well, thanks to Elemental Resistance penetration and Critical Strike boost.

1. Gameplay

Inquisitor's ascendancy is a definitely ideal choice for Divine Ire. Thanks to Pious Path we are immune to all Elemental Ailments like being Frozen, so it not only save Flask suffixes, that can be more damage oriented, but also it's great survivability for channeling Divine Ire. The newest addition of Infused Channeling Support Gem reduces damage received while Channeling, so we can jump between packs and channel Divine Ire inside them with no fear.
