Are Inquisitives still any good?

[Stravix]

Inquisitor is ruined. They killed it. Play an Alchemist until the crying people in here pressure the Devs to nerf that too. Remember anytime something new comes out SSG does its bait and switch Con by nerfing the class or race once everyone has bought it.

Play alchemist until they nerf that too. When they will release some sort of bow toon, they will have to make it powerful. Play the bow toon after alchemist is ruined next.

Its the SSG. Sell one thing to you, than give you something else.

Can't actually tell if trolling or not, and that kinda scares me. In case not, taking the above comments as reference, I wish to inform you that Inq isn't "ruined"

Yes they are still very viable in all content.
It is still the best ranged option there is in my opinion.
My main is an inquisitive and does just fine.
Just because it is not currently the meta, does not mean it is useless.

He's not trolling. At level cap, Inquisitive damage is not competitive with other combat styles even if you have optimal gear and build split for it. I used to play Inquisitive for reaper challenge raids (notably our R6 and R8 PN completions), and swapped to throwers for R10 PN because Inquisitive couldn't keep up after the heavy-handed nerfs a year ago.

Inquisitive is fine for leveling and doing low skulls at cap. It just can't hang with other builds when DPS really matters.

Bait and switch is definitely a tactic.

Expect Alch will be subject to it at a time that suits SSG.

Just as Inq was. Which should have been nerfed waaaay before it was IMO.

But nothing happened until there was a new toy to play with and pay for.

Even after the recent thrower needs, throwers are still better than Inquisitives at cap. Throwers are miserable to level, so I think leveling as an inquisitive (taking the feats thst you had planned on taking as a thrower except for one that you can swap out for free with Fred) and then just changing enhancements at level 20 or 28/29 can make a lot of sense.

I think 10/6/4 Fury GXBow beats both of them at cap for general play, but they allow a wider array of class and iconic past lives.

Inquisitive is one of the best choices currently. You just got to add up the other stuff that goes with them - you know, the class and how it fits.

Fake news. 10/6/4 Fury GXBow doesn’t get Soundburst. How are you going to stay competitive without Soundburst?
