[3.28] Tiger King - Dominating Blow of Inspiring - Farrul Bloodline Guardian

Personally I'll starting minion DomBlow build, but I'll keep track of this build discussion for sure. Seems really strong.

And respeccing later isn't even a big deal.

I wonder if the new Hallowing Flame support / Ascendancy works with this build? I'm sure someone will test it, and hopefully report back :D

Really cool build Gerrador!

Whats your opinion on Summon Phantasm Support added to Domination Blow via the new coin mechanic?

Lvl1 would add 5 more (permanent) minions

Thanks!

As far as coin imbues I was looking at either lvl 1 Ruthless (~23% more dmg) or Inspiration to drop it from main links probably for Crit Dmg. We don't need quite as many minions anymore with the Primal Roar buff lowering our needed count to 20, but you could definitely use Phantasm as a utility link for 20% inc global defences!

What kind of atlas mechanics do you think this build excels at? Looks like expedition probly a no-go due to split damage profile.

Between 2/3rds and 4/5ths of our dmg comes from Lightning so as long as you don't take Lightning immune Expedition remnants it'd handle it just fine at higher juice levels, at the high-end even if your highest two dmg types get disabled it should be able to clear most Expis just fine if it's not a juiced Archaeology scarab encounter.

I'm planning on mainly Ritual or Beasts with their changes, but it's pretty well-rounded and handles most content well. Breach juicing looks solid too.

I've spoken about it before, but Marshal of Divinity is likely going to be bait for many Guardian builds getting their flat dmg from Ele Relics since the +25% phys as extra fire to minions and 80% phys as extra lightning for the player is a bit at-odds with the flat ele scaling.

For our setup in particular it doesn't come close to either Farrul node power-wise, unfortunately.

Do you think this build would do well in Delve? Nothing too crazy, perhaps around depth 550 at most.

Yup!

I was pushing 600 in Keepers running Delve casually when sulphite occasionally filled up. Was doing well at those depths running boss encounters, my current WIP PoB should also be a bit tankier than it was in Keepers. (EC uptime, no % inc dmg taken from Jolting Eshgraft, and squeezed in Flesh and Stone)

Do you have an estimate on how expensive should block% tattoos be on league start? Or if one can expect to have them prior to Aegis swap? Capping block for swap and Farrul sans tats would probably require pathing to Sanctuary.

without tattoos or watcher's eye determination mod we are short 21% block on the pob, sanctuary with mastery can give 13% back. without foulborn blue nightmare we are also short 11% spell block

early on could run rumi's concoction over granite flask (sacrifice 1 flask suffix) and/or swap a rare jewel for replica reckless defence to solve both deficits without needing to spend any passives

They will be pricy, I would recommend sticking to two clusters to start and taking Aggressive Bastion + Shield Mastery early to get +17% block chance for 4pts, plus provides some EC uptime before Mob Mentality. You can also temporarily pick up +7% block as a crafted chest implicit, but that can be awkward for an ES chest.

Without (Foulborn) Blue Nightmare you'd also want some additional spell block which you can get from Safeguard. Sanctuary can work to get a bit of both, but it's less efficient with our pathing where 9 pts for Sanctuary + Mastery could get us Aggressive Bastion + Safeguard + shield mastery for a total of +17%/+17% block/spell block.

What farming strategies would you recommend this build excels at?

Will be the route I take. I'm going to *attempt* a scuffed Holy Strike start based on how well it preformed in the ZiggyD showcase:

No clue how well the accuracy will perform. Precision will not be too far away from my hands, I reckon. I could axe all accuracy nodes and grab RT. I put a single node into rage generation to remind myself to potentially path to Battle Trance, but I'm on the fence there.
