3.25: Dominating Blow Summoner Guide;1-Button/Chill; Consistent dmg and tanky

Really enjoyed playing this build. Excellent guide and got it to 95 but game has gotten a bit stale now.

Thanks for such great guide!

Np! Glad you enjoyd. Be carefull however because I'll have to majorly Change the build once the spectres get removed

Build had been updated. A lot of the comments on the 3.24 verison probably don't make too much sense now so I may post a newer thrread later on!

Wait for an update ^ ^

- Its updated!

Don't we think the damage is a tad inflated on the POB? We're saying 100% up time on arcanist brand, offerings, assasin mark, and theres a second dom blow set up... I get the second setup is to show the sent of dominance but it's being included in the POB overall damage. If you turn it off dps goes to half. When you remove 100% uptime on curse, offerings etc dmg drops again by 10mil. Am I wrong to say the low budget is closer to 3-4 mil dps?

1.: Vaal Domination
It pretty much has perma uptime. The duration is longer then the soul gain Prevention and you can re-use the skill to keep it up after 40 seconds.
2.: Utility
You dont do anything besides running around and literally auto attacking. Of course you'll have excelent uptime on Battlemage cry. THe duration of the skills it applies are longer then the battlemage cry CD itself.

If you dont do anything besides auto attacking why wouldnt it be realistic to click 1 button and apply the rest of your utility? However: If you'd want to chill more- you could make all the offerings lvl 8 and use a lvl 1 cwdt gem. Ive done that before and it also workd. This is more for beginners of the skill that truly want perma uptime



By the way: Ive decided to introduce a Duration Wheel into the medium/High budget version and have now also added it to the low budget version.

3.: Overall
The uptime is justified, the pob is not pushed up.
- If you'd truly wanted to push up the numbers of Pob you would:
You could switch out a 6th gem on Dominating blow if you'd want to truly push up the damage for POB numbers. Also consider that the AG may apply curses of Ylfebans Trickery and Its opted to only select 1 power charge instead of 3 on the Minions for realism.

Hello,

Ty for the quick response and clarifying the Vaal Dom and war cry. As for the "More" uptime on the offerings I think all end game builds want 100%... Perma uptime is always the goal when doing tough maps.

I loaded all three POB's you updated for 3.25 and looked at them before I commented. I plan on doing your build for the league start but the dps seemed inflated by atleast 50%. Nothing wrong with this, it clearly destroys content. I personally do not want to inflate the POB numbers it seems that's already done.

I dont want to create a conflict haha, once again I'm following your POB this league and I appreciate you making it! What will you be league starting?

Hey ! Dont worry about it I like to argue about the build :) and Ive considered your feedback. Go ahaed and checkout the 3.25 section again I've added seperate Pobs. I may end up league starting with this build. I am not quite sure yet. Ive also created a Trickster Ignite character but getting ignite to be 1-button and having high dmg is very hard to do on a budget^^. Its awesome to hear that you'll play this build again!

hi can you tell me the main node in skill tree to go for first while leveling .sorry not exp here. thank for the build !
