Best quick Boss-Killer?

[JuRiOh]

I have a Essence Drain Trickster for mapping, but I feel like I need a new character for killing Guardians/Shaper/Elder. So I am mainly looking for a build that can kill them within seconds, the build doesn't need to be good for mapping, I usually play with a RF Juggernault friend who can clear to the bosses anyway. Any recommendations?

This is only my second league, I played Blade Vortex Inquisitor during Harbinger from start which was a pretty good Boss Killer, but I want something new.

I looked into:
Glascial Cascade Saboteur Miner (guide looks outdated though)
Bladeflurry Claw-based Scion

I have a Budget of around 1500 Chaos, so I can afford some key items, but won't be able to start a build that requires the most expensive gear.

Thanks, looks pretty good. unfortunately I don't want to play inquisitor because I played that last time with Blade Vortex. I would just prefer to play a different ascendency every time I start a new league/character. I have Inquisitor, Juggernault and Trickster already done, does that guide work for any other, or is it not the same, maybe Scion?

the point of the guide picking inquisitor is to eleminate the ele resis of enemies. picking an other class with this guide is totally absurd.

Why not look at the official class forums? You tube??

Because that doesn't tell me which of the thousand builds is top notch. I was asking for the "expert" opinion on builds. Writers of builds are strongly biased and will generally consider their build the best version of X to do Y.

Essence drain is chaos and dot damage, right?
If you can spare the jewel slots why not weapon swap into a wasp nest and run a four link viper strike for bosses with added chaos damage?

People really underestimate just how good viper strike is on single target.

Been looking into making a similar build to this. But I need it to be a bit more tanky for Uber Elder.

Right now my uber elder farmer is a Jugg Molten Strike with Oni kinda like the one Grumpy mention. But I get my life gain on hit from watchers eye and 100% fire damage from Avatar of Fire (Xoph's) + Molten Strike. Passives, gems and Watchers eye for fire penetration.

Whatever you decide to make, if you plan on doing Uber Elder just make sure you are semi tanky with good dps and healing.
I'm at 8.1k life, lots of life regen, and that 30 life gain on hit(Watchers Eye). That 30LoH is plenty when you shoot out 24 projectiles 13-15 times a second.
