TbXie's Firestorm Inquisitor Build Guide Passive Skill Tree & Gem Links (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
Path of Building – Passive Skill Tree
You can find an optimized Path of Building here. Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building, which is maintained and updated in a much more regular fashion than the original one. You can find PoB’s Fork, by LocalIdentity, here.
If you are not comfortable with Path of Building, you can check the link in PobbIn. However, we heavily advise you to use Path of Building for which we have a Path of Building Guide
Awakened Gems
A lot of gems nowadays in Path of Exile have Awakened versions. These version will generally be a lot more powerful than the widely available Regular versions. Therefore the should be purchased whenever you can afford them. When the gems listed down here mention Awakened Gems, you are supposed to use their regular versions until you can afford the upgrade.
For most people, leveling these Gems up takes way too much time so you’re generally offered two choices.
- You can just buy a leveled version.
- You can buy the Wild Brambleback beasts and use the Menagerie craft to upgrade Increase the level of non-Corrupted Awakened Gem by 1.

Aura
_Note: Eternal Blessing functions only if you’re blood magic because it will otherwise disable your other auras, being Vitality and Precision. Because the gem specifies it only turns of Aura’s which cost mana, which you don’t have because you’re reserving Life, it will cast Determination for free.
Buffs
When encountering annoying targets, you’re dropping a Storm Brand on the floor which is linked to Combustion as well as casting an Assassin’s Mark to further amplify the damage enemies take. This only works if you have a source of Fire Damage to Spells so your Storm Brand can ignite. If you don’t have a source of Fire Damage (yet), Armageddon Brand. Link it to the power charge on critical support to generate power charges.
Righteous Fire is to be held active permanently, as you should be easily able to sustain it after merciless labyrinth where you pick up Pious Path
Utility
Using Shield Charge is mandatory as it will proc your Pious Path Ascendancy. Use it to get around the map whilst keeping your Flame Dash to get over ledges.
