Skills
The following skills will affect this combat art:
Usage Strategies
- Numerous tactical uses for Purifying Chastisement exist. It provides the Inquisitor with one of his essential abilities and greatest powers.
- To be blunt - using this buff REQUIRES the Inquisitor to take damage. Playing too defensively will only limit the ability to use this buff to its fullest extent.
- The Bronze level modifications are seemingly superficial, but they actually have very specific applications.
- Purge is better used for Inquisitors who wish to fight hand-to-hand with enemies and have their deaths quickened by being burned to death.
- Mystic is better for Inquisitors who wish to fight from a distance and increase the potency of their long ranged damage.
- Mystic can however still be used in melee battle. Note that since magic damage can weaken enemies, it will lower their damage - which is what fuels the Inquisitor's wrath.
- The Merciless modification is good for a player who is more concerned about defense than offense. Bloodthirsty, reckless players are better suited with Eradicate.
- As with the above, Inure is intended for an Inquisitor desiring more defense. Hallow is the crowning glory for Inquisitors wishing to push their damage to the max.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Almost mandatory for any Inquisitor who will be engaging in melee combat; this buff is one of the Inquisitor's most defining and powerful features.
- Offsets the Inquisitor's inherent lack of of defensive capabilities. This buff gives him tremendous damage boosts.
- Relatively low regeneration penalty when activated.
- Can also be used on a more defensively minded Inquisitor due to the Hallow modification.
Cons
- Due to its nature and importance to the Inquisitor as a whole, efficient use of this buff can require a certain play style.
- Therefore, if a player wants to use the Inquisitor on a defensive or long ranged level, this buff is perhaps not for them.
- Enemies that can debuff the Inquisitor will make battles take much longer (or in some cases, less survivable).
- The Bronze modifications for this buff can force an Inquisitor into limiting his elemental damage variety.
