Introduction

Me as a player

Hello! I'm Eneru, nice to meet you and thanks for clicking on this guide!

I started playing MuhRO a few months ago, and it's my first renewal server! Wanted to try some new job and inquisitor caught my eye. After loving it's critical build i knew i had to try and push it's potential to the limit, so here i am, sharing my experiences, tests and results! Hope you enjoy!

Inquisitor as a job

Inquisitor is the most mobile class in the game thanks to it's second job skill, Snap (body relocation). This on itself is enough for many to enjoy the job, zooming around.

This job has two different paths, the tanky and high burst damage maxHP scaling melee build for Third Flame Bomb (TFB), and the critical more glass-cannon ranged critical build for Explosion Blaster (EB) .

Both main skills are Area of Effect (AoE), but TFB is single target cast with an area of 7x7 around the target and Explosion Blaster is an area of 9x9 around the user.

On this guide we will focus only on the ranged critical build. For an overall view and TFB details, please check Cruro's guide.

Stats, Traits and Skills

Basic view on what each Stat and Trait provides to our character. For more information check this wiki article about Stats and Traits.

Stats

STAT Basic Information Value
STR Main source of damage. Increases our attack and weight capacity. 120+
AGI Increases flee and attack speed (ASPD). ASPD also helps reducing our character animations delay, making our gameplay more fluid. 80+
VIT Mainly increases our maximum health points (HP) but also provides soft defense and helps resist to some status such as Stun. 80+
INT As physical attackers we use int as a way to increase our spell points (SP) but also reduces variable cast time (VCT) and helps resist some status such as Silence. 70-80
DEX Increases our hit, reduces VCT greatly and gives a small bonus to our attack. 100-120*
LUK Increases our critical attack chance (CRIT), small bonus to our attack and helps resist some status such as Curse. 1-89+**

*Since our main offensive skills are crit based, we don't need much DEX. It's mainly to hit 5241.png Oleum Sanctum or for the bonuses 4392.png Observation Card (4392) + 300270.png Empathize Card (300270) combo provides.

**With gears focused on CRIT bonuses, we can get enough that no LUK is required. 89 base LUK is the limit when using 300468.png Snow Rabbit Iceslug Card (300468) to not get it's penalty. Otherwise, we can use 89+ to meet any needs we have.

Traits

TRAIT Basic Information Value
POW Greatly increases our damage. It gives us P.Attack (increasing attack), also our main skills damage scale based off this trait. 110
STA Helps reduce incoming physical damage. 0+
WIS Helps reduce incoming magical damage. 0+
SPL Increases our magical attack. We won't be using any SPL. 0
CON Increases our hit and flee rates. Similar to DEX, it also gives a small boost to our damage in the form of P.Attack. 75-105*
CRT Increases H.Plus (our healing output with healing skills) and C.Rate (different from CRIT) that greatly boosts our final critical damage. 77-105-110*

*Depends if we have to match values for 310685.png Star Cluster of CRT or 310682.png Star Cluster of CON. Even so, CRT gives more value by itself.

Skills

Main used skills of each job.

Acolyte

26.png Teleport: Level 1 is basically a fly wing.

29.png Increase Agility: Increase movement speed and AGI stat. Removes Decrease-Agi debuff.

34.png Blessing: Increases STR/INT/DEX stats. Removes Curse debuff.

28.png Heal: Easily sustain yourself without relaying on potions. Very situational but still useful.

24.png Ruwach: Detect hidden enemies. Not many mobs use hiding but it is useful in Varmundt Depth 2.

Champion

264.png Body Relocation: Target skill. Instantly teleports the character to the selected tile (fails if target is not on the character view). Once you get used to it, you'll forget that you used to right click to move. Or was it left click?

401.png Dangerous Soul Collect (Zen): Summons all possible spirit spheres (5-15).

270.png Explosion Spirits: Fury state gives free +20 CRIT for 180 seconds. Can't use 6519.png Blazing Flame Blast without being in this state.

Sura

2338.png Rising Dragon: Increases the number of spirit spheres one can summon up to 15 at level 10, summons those, and puts you in Fury state for 300 seconds.

2340.png Power Absorb: Consumes all your current spirit spheres and recovers 1% of your max SP for each one.

2347.png Gentle Touch-Change: Consumes 1 spirit sphere to increase ATK and ATK %.

Inquisitor

5238.png Powerful Faith: Greatly increases ATK and P.ATK.

5241.png Oleum Sanctum: Skill with an area of effect of 9x9 around the user. If it hits, targets receive 15% more damage from ranged physical attacks and 5244.png Explosion Blaster deals extra damage.

5244.png Explosion Blaster: Our main offensive skill. Has an AoE of 9x9 around the user and can critically strike, ignoring target's flee and dealing more damage. It also recovers 4 AP per use.

5243.png Massive Flame Blaster: Secondary offensive skill. Has an AoE of 9x9 and deals a good amount of damage when using Time Dimensions Combo (Crown + Weapon). It can critically strike. Consumes 12 AP per use. It has a really long Cool Down (base of 5 seconds, reduced to 3 seconds when using mentioned combo). It gives a buff for 150 seconds mainly used for 6519.png Blazing Flame Blast.

6519.png Blazing Flame Blast: Secondary offensive skill. Single target with a range of 8 tiles. It can critically strike and can only be used in Fury state. It also deals increased damage when under 5243.png Massive Flame Blaster buff. Recovers 2 AP per use. It will become our main damage skill for single targets in the future.

Head (Low)
  • STR +5
  • Long Range Physical +7%
Armor 4392.png Observation Card (4392)

Weapon
  • Any element combo
  • Any race combo

(more cards and explanations here)

Shield
  • 310869.png Ranged Lv.3 (310869) can also be considered when leaning towards max damage, but ACD is hard enough to come by.

Garment 300270.png Empathize Card (300270)
  • Check Garden of Time page for more detailed information on how to craft and enchant this garment.
300270.png Empathize Card (300270) combo with 120 dex gives 55% ranged % damage.

It's hard to best it even with overrefined gears and 300426.png Crux Findel Card (300426) and 300381.png Hearthunter AT Card (300381) on overrefined armor.

Shoes 300380.png Piloted Midrange Rgan Card (300380)

  • C. Rate / POW / CRT
  • Ranged Damage % / CRIT
 Preferred first options C.Rate > POW > CRT.

Preferred second options Ranged Damage % > CRIT I don't like going for critical damage on these enchants.

Shadow Weapon Same. 24425.png Perfect Size Shadow Weapon (24425) is a good alternative when facing small or medium sized monsters.

24734.png Durable Shadow Weapon (24734) could also be a good alternative in this case. Not tested yet.

Shadow Shield Same. 24767.png Mega Blitz Shadow Shield (24767) really helps pushing CRIT and critical damage bonuses.

Only use it if you have a comfortable amount of ACD.

Usable Relevant effect Cost

Extras

(needs extensive work)

Specific map gears

Biosphere B - Temple

Enchants (water, holy, brute, formless, wind - all mid/small minus gryphon and MVP)

Biosphere B - Venom

Enchants (poison brute), kukre is fish/water - all mid/small minus MVP. Engkanto card. Brutal Murderer + Copo Card.

Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 1

Balanced elements and races. All are mid sized mobs (Brutal Murderer Card)

Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2

Balanced elements, races and sizes. Hard to be good on all. Min-max enchants on boots (ice or flame lv3-5). Rethink weapon and armor cards, mistress pet ?

Forgotten Time

Giant Caput card. Main focus on large (Gan Ceann Card), since elite rgan guardian card (shield) does not boost damage vs poison (contaminated mobs).

Min-Maxing DPS

Enchantments

450172.png Nebula Suit of Creative and 490486.png Signet of Circulation Winter enchants

After investing time and materials i finally got my hands on two 490486.png Signet of Circulation Winter [1] (490486) . One with 313006.png Signet of Creative Lv5 (313006) and the other with 312991.png Signet of Concentration Lv5 (312991) , along with two 450172.png Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172) with matching enchants, one with 310685.png Star Cluster of Creative Lv.3 (310685) and other with 310682.png Star Cluster of Concentration Lv.3 (310682) .

It's not by much, but CON wins over CRT. With my current gears:

Those +3 refine are equal to +17% critical damage, +13 atk and +3% all element damage (and +3 CRIT). We can get closer numbers by removing the 300278.png Void Mimic Card (300278) which gives +15% critical damage.

Results with no 300278.png Void Mimic Card (300278) when using +15 450172.png Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172) are 1796M/EB, which is way closer to the 1789/EB of the CON combo (7M difference).

In the end we can deduce that +2% critical damage, +13 atk and +3% all element will compensate those 7M by far.

Concluding: It is worth to go for CON combo when min-maxing but it seems like such small difference is not mandatory.

490135.png Creative Signet of Star enchants

I tested two different 490135.png Creative Signet of Star [1] (490135) .

One with

And another with

Results are that, even with only 75 CON, the second one, (STR, MA, MA) outperforms the first one even when running 105/110 CRT.

Refines

Cards

  • Most important card to min-max in the endgame is 300473.png [MVP] Snow Angel Card (300473) . It really hurts your CRIT, but is a great boost of 55% Ranged Damage (and +10% physical damage vs boss). When compounded on a +15 480352.png Circulation of Life Winter [1] (480352) you still get +1 CRIT (using 89 LUK).
