I’m back with another Path of Exile build, this time Storm Brand Inquisitor.

I played around with this build on Solo Self-Found. I didn’t use any unique, nor clusters, just a bunch of rare items and relatively easy to duplicate POE Crucible Items. So I also summed up some experiences about creating this build for you.

Storm Brand & Lightning Conduit

First, we’re going to discuss how this build uses 3 unique abilities. The first is Storm Brand in our 6 link, which is our primary source of damage. Then I also use Lightning Conduit for some extra damage.

Basically, how this build works is we use Storm Brand for the mapping. When you need some extra damage, you can spam your Lightning Conduit.

Because Storm Brand will shock the enemy and Lightning Conduit will do extra damage. Shocked the enemy, depending on the level of Shock or how many Shock effects you have, that’s how it works.

Galvanic Field

I’m also using a third skill, Galvanic Field. Right now I use this on Trigger Wand. You basically get this craft from Betrayal. So when you use a skill, you trigger a socket spell.

If you don’t have Trigger Craft, you may have to manually use Galvanic Field. This means this will be a 3 button build, which is not very convenient to play. So if you don’t have a Trigger Wand, you can skip using Galvanic Field.

The benefit of Galvanic Field is that it will provide additional damage. We also get some nice utility, like activating support for more Lightning damage, Power Charge on critical hits. Of course, you can also link it to Culling Strike.

Righteous Fire

Also, we use Righteous Fire for extra spell damage since we have a fair amount of Regen, Life and Energy Shield. It rises every 4 seconds due to this node on the passive tree. But with our Flask, we can actually maintain the energy shield pretty well, especially Ruby Flask.

Gear Selection

Also, we have good armor, including Molten Shell. You can gain some Chaos Resistance in your gear. Since it’s Solo Self-Found, it’s possible to gain a lot of Chaos Resistance if you’re lucky.

Of course, look for Regen, Resistances, Strength. Strength is important because we are an Inquisitor and we also get crits for every point of Strength we have. We have a 100% crit chance, and our crits ignore enemy elemental resistances, which is why we chose Inquisitor.

You can also get some Suppression Mastery on passive trees. And with some Suppression rolls on your gear, you can get really high numbers. You can even choose a shield if you want. But I don’t think it’s necessary. Since taking damage while Solo Self-Found can be a bit harder, I utilized POE Currency to get Dual weapon, which is nice extra damage.

You can use Dual Wand or Dual Rune Daggers or Scepters and look for Lightning damage, Cast Speed, Critical Strike chance, Crit Multi, Spell damage. Make sure you have an open Suffix on your Wand so you can craft Trigger.

You can play this build in different ways, and this isn’t the only way to play it. You can also use Lightning Conduit as your primary damage and Storm Brand as more of a secondary skill. If you decide to play with it, I hope you enjoy this build.

Here’s a quick guide on how to get Winged Scarabs in SSF. Winged Scarabs have only a few sources in the game, most of which cannot be farmed until Solo Self-Found. But if you’re curious about them, you can get them from a Divination Card that no one knows where it dropped. It’s called Rebirth and Renewal.

You rarely get them from mods on Operative’s Strongboxes. Because of its very low weight, most people will not want to stake POE Currency on them. I wouldn’t recommend it, and people generally run Corrupt Strongbox strategies. So in that case, there’s no doubt about it.

Damage Conversion and Immortal Syndicate are a passive way to get Winged Scarabs. If you don’t feel like using them right away. You can do anything to lower the conversion rate, like run a lot of maps or run Seance, or on Atlas Skill Tree, get more passive skills from those two nodes.

That’s a way to increase your chances of getting Winged Scarabs from drop conversion. Otherwise Immortal Syndicate is the fundamental way. I think most Syndicate members will drop Scarabs corresponding to their rank in intervention jobs. Rusted, Polished and Gilded Scarabs will be given for ranks 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

If they’re level three and you fight Catarina, they’ll give you a Winged Scarab, at least Guff won’t meddle with Scarabs. You just hover or look at the cheat sheet online, and you’ll see that it doesn’t matter that they found Scarabs, as you might want to use Harvest in exchange for other POE Crucible Items at the end.

If you are looking for specific Scarabs like Gilded Scarabs, Winged Divination Scarab or Winged Ambush Scarab. The general strategy is mostly to run Immortal Syndicate and intervene as much as possible.

So I’m at the top level in this situation and move them up to third by executing them. I recommend not looking for any information on safehouses at all, to help ensure you’ll be able to deal with enemies in the event of an intervention to get yourself up to third.

If you reach 100%, you won’t encounter it on the map. The main Atlas Skill Tree will help with strategies like this, which can increase Syndicate members’ chances of getting reinforcements. So here are two nodes, 5% each. This will again help ensure that you can get people there to perform tasks, and also help get people to work on specific jobs.

Because like I said, you really want a full list of people who are intervening, and you don’t care too much about the others, so if you say there are only three people doing interventions, but everyone else has jobs.

That way, they can freelance at the bottom of here and hopefully partner with one of the existing interventionists to further increase their chances of appearing on intervention missions. But for the most part, you’re only concerned with interrogating and running safehouses for traffic fortification and research, while keeping your interventions unconstrained by safehouse progress.

Of course, that’s not to say you can’t make progress. Chances are you only want to focus on those two in this case, which will make it harder to actually get to Catarina. But it’s definitely doable, especially after you’ve interrogated the leader for a few rounds.

If they’re incarcerated, and in the process of giving you information, you can use that time to boost people’s status and rank. You should also use this noteworthy loyalty test, which means you’ll get two rank boosts when you execute them.

Above is my complete guide to get Winged Scarabs in SSF. Hope this information will be helpful to you. Good luck.
