Dominus in 74 map. Little bit much..
" That one is around 10 levels lower. Which is a HUGE difference in damage output. That's like complaining that dominus in Merciless is too strong, because you killed him in normal with no problems. Actually, it's exactly the same thing. |

" http://youtu.be/yCXpXWI93S0 Enfeeble is your friend. No armour, no block, 75% light res, shocked, got hit for just 5k. Pretty sure if you've got 90% res and 10k armour you would receive less damage. 4k life is kinda low to be doing maps, even if your DPS is decent. Get a tad more hp nodes and drop some dps nodes. After all, what's the point of even having dps if you can't survive a hit right? Edit: considering the stats that the OP had, the fact that he got one shot and I didn't, I daresay they may have nerfed this boss abit since the original post.

Does anyone do these bosses with multi projectile mod? It's not too bad of a mod on the map itself, but dominus, academy boss, lmp or gmp? noty.

" Lol agreed, I still feel that some of the newer bosses need toning down. Personally, Academy boss is the worst because he completely counters evasion builds. There's no protection for acro users without spell block to melee him aside from spamming EC + IC, which has seemingly become a mandatory combination despite the wide variety of skill gems available and the game philosophy which is supposedly oriented around 'choice'.

" I'll check video out. I do all maps 74-78 I only die to certain bosses. I don't die ever really on anything else. So 4k life is pretty good. I got all the life nodes I can possibly get. Just lack it on gear. But my point is he just does way too much dps compared to the other bosses. I can kill Crematorium boss without even dying with map damage map mods but Dominus I wouldn't even be able to kill if I died 20 times. Here's my gear Nice video. Been researching how to kill this boss for weeks as melee. I've seen many videos where people kill him as a ranged character that seems like an easier task though. But yeah will try enfeeble I think I have tried it in the past though attached to my CWDT gem and still got raped. WTB Map drops since 2013 Последняя редакция: d2trust#2033.

It's part phys, part lightning, and it's an attack rather than a spell so it's blockable.
What I don't know is whether it's treated as melee or ranged attack. Have any Ondar's Guile users experimented with Dominus slam? IGN: NNQQ, Sporkay, Rands_

" Aye, even with EC + IC multiple projectiles can destroy just about anyone because they hang around long after he is dead and no way to get charges. Even 75% spell block is not enough for gmp if there are 30+ tornadoes. They should tone them down a little bit, or INCREASE THEIR DROPS. Increase map boss drops is like literally the only thing that everyone in PoE agrees with. Wish the devs would hop on board. Anarchy/Onslaught T shirt

" Swap your second weapon for saffells and your dual strike gem for a double strike gem and you can rape him, just leapslam out of the way of touch of god and tank through the beam. Also swap either added fire or weapon elemental damage for life leech gem. He's very easy this way, the real threat is desynching exploding minions. Anarchy/Onslaught T shirt

Ah, someone necro'd this thread lol :).
I admit, I did think that Dominus was strong, however I was going about it wrong. I didn't use a topaz flask which I should have, HOWEVER this was back on my ground slam marauder, my first character in the league. I had a lot of life leech, 20k gslam DPS, and like ..5.6k health I think? I don't know. I just thought it was ridiculous I could get 1 shotted by that. But my next char was a cast on crit cyclone EK ranger, I had 5k life/capped res/positive 30 chaos res etc. I was extremely geared out, I had 2 of the best (one was THE best) CoC daggers in Domination, one of the top 6 link evasion chests etc. I had huge DPS output, with a 20/20 life leech gem I usually could leech instantly. I could do any boss in the game on that character. Palace dominus gave me troubles, because I couldn't really face tank him like I could the 74 version, even with a topaz. Basically I could do him but it would take a while (78 palace dominus) but the 74 map dominus was a piece of cake at that point. Also courtyard, double crema, double shrine, double academy LMP :D etc. All in all, if you have around 4.5-5k life and use a topaz flask I don't think that the 74 dominus can one shot you. I think he did around 3.5-4k damage to me when I was on my CoC EK cyclone ranger and I used a topaz (85% light res) so it helped. However the nerf to purity really hurts, but using a purity of lightning aura might help you as well. Overall, the boss was easy for me but extremely annoying at times because if you desync on accident while leap slamming/whirling blades out of the way, you're pretty much fucked. And that's the biggest issue I'd have right now with it. |

Old thread etc etc, but how do you get one shot? I have 75% res with no endurance and 5.5k HP and I survive all his attacks once before I need to gtfo and recharge my flasks with spawning mobs.
