the thing is, as i see, we have two fair nice reason that allow a inqui to achieve a reasonable amount of damage with god smash, and this is going dex because:
priest1 have a 30%+10 dex buff, this could result in fair more than 100dex later on, that would be the same as 100 critical rate and so on
the second would be with the spr-krivis variation, this would have less critical rate but would help the party as well.
Now since you have choice to put spr, and not dex that would result in a loss of close to 86 dex and by that would be 86 evasion + 86 critical rate , because the build 80con rest dex would have 307 dex, without even counting the dex cards , but letās not forget about the buff from priest 1 that would also increase dex from a base of with 307 dex and not 221, so we can see that the lost of critical rate is close to 100 as well.
i myself have not done a complete set of maths, but for a 100% critical rate at 280 we need a little more than 650 critical rate without taking in consideration critical resistance if i can remember well the values so once you take in consideration that a high dex+ monstrance buff +cards a inquisitor would have close to 500 dex , so once we take in consideration critical rate gems and so on, is perfectly possible to achieve a fair high critical rate, iām saying something close to 90% or more here.
Now if you take the spr route, you will be losing close to 86 dex in base value, so once we take mostrance buff as well, we are talking of a value a little more than 100 so letās use 100 as example so by going krivis 1 you will be able to close this gap in critical rate with zalciei, and not only that but would also boost the magic defense from the pally and barrier, and also help the PT , so for me i believe that this is the best option if you are going the spr route.
Of course by going spr you also have a huge disadvantage, that is you must take krivis1 to close the critical gap when fighting mobs with high critical resistance, but like i said they also offer a lot of advantages, like extra critical rate for the entire party, daino , boost magic defense plus barrier as well, so is up to you.
one side note; you must remember that with the arrival of rank 8, of course most players would want to at least try to take their inqui to ET and this could be done with a correct setup, because the arrival of rank8 have brought something fair nice for melee classes that is raw damage, but one of the main aspect that does not allow swordsman and by that melee classes do ET is the lack of AOE ratio, it makes fair hard to surpass the floor with kill count, but now with the arrival of inquisitor wheel, this can somehow be overcome even if you do not have fair top notch equips, so once we take this in consideration, the party composition would also be one that benefits of the wheel, so we are looking at something like :
cyro-chorno+ lethargy that is 100% extra strike damage plus everything else that a chrono already give, like pass etc.
petal-rodel with their strike debuffs as well, that can go up to 150-200%
so we are looking at a 200%+ damage modified for god smash, without even counting the conviction that also doubles the damage, this will be more than enough to kill the waves, when WHEEL is UP.
Now, when wheel is down, there is other ways to also keep killing, but this would be for a topic where we discuss ET done by a meleePT with inquisitor, not this one so iām done with this walltext.
