Not all inquisitive builds are the same. Is baseline inquisitive the problem, or is the problem when you start adding rogue sneak attack adders? The law die damage scales 200% with ranged power, the sneak attack damage scales 150% with ranged power, and inquisitive provides better attacks per second for applying both.
It’s baseline inquisitive.
The inquisitive style is actually a bug to be honest. What is actually happening is these builds are getting a combination of uncapped doubleshot, and that doubleshot applying to both hands. It streams from doubleshot not being made for a twf style like inquisitive as all ranged builds, up until now have only used one weapon.
The only thing that compares to the style of inquisitives is repeaters, but repeaters only get 33% benefit from DS because of this very issue. A repeater build with 10% alacrity actually fires at the same rate as an inquisitive with 30% alacrity, I’d assume a repeater with the epic feat would actually fire faster than an inquisitive, my toon is only lvl 18 however. The key is that while repeaters fire at roughly the same rate, if not faster than inquisitive style, Inquisitices get 3x more benefit from DS.
