Zizaran's Notes

------------PLEASE READ THIS------------ BalorMage has made an excellent written guide on his website which can be found here: https://balormage.com/build-guides/dominatingblow/ If you would like a very informative guide then please check it out. Note: Specters rarely die, but almost always do in Sirus AW8. Dropping them from the build is not a big deal as its OP AF from the word go. Frenzy Charges are very powerful for minions but honestly the build is so strong that if their occasional death annoys you you can just compleatly drop them. ------Leveling------ Smite Smite - Act 1 - Nessa - Enemy at the Gate Ancestral Call - Act 1 - Nessa - Mercy Mission War Banner 4+ War Banner - Act 1 - Nessa - Breaking some Eggs Raise Zombie 1 - 8 Raise Zombie - Act 1 - Nessa - Enemy at the Gate Minion Damage - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Added Lightning - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Raise Zombie 18+ Raise Zombie - Act 1 - Nessa - Enemy at the Gate Minion Damage - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Minion Speed - Act 2 - Yeena - Sharp and Cruel Herald of Purity 16 - 31 Herald of Purity - Act 2 - Yeena - Intruders in Black Minion Damage - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Melee Physical - Act 2 - Yeena - Sharp and Cruel Herald of Purity 38+ Herald of Purity - Act 2 - Yeena - Intruders in Black Minion Damage - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Multistrike support - Act 4 - Petarus and Vanja - The Eternal Nightmare Fortify - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Summon Holy Relic Summon Holy Relic - Act 1 - Nessa - Breaking Some Eggs Minion Damage - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Frostblink 1 - 9 Frostblink - Act 1 - Nessa - Breaking Some Eggs Flamedash 10+ Flamedash - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Skitterbots 16+ Summon Skitterbots - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Vulnerability 24+ Vulnerability - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Dominating Blow 28+ Dominating Blow - Act 3 - Clarissa - Sever the Right Hand Feeding Frenzy - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Multistrike support - Act 4 - Petarus and Vanja - The Eternal Nightmare Fortify - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Defensive Cry - Enduring Enduring Cry - Act 2 - Yeena - Intruders in Black Second Wind - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Increased Duration - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Offensive Cry - Rallying Rallying Cry - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Second Wind - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Increased Duration - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Raise Spectre - Frenzy Monkeys Raise Spectre - Act 3 - Clarissa - Sever the Right Hand Elemental Army - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Blood Magic - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Meat Shield - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate -------Endgame------- Warbanner/Convocation/Vulnerability War Banner - Act 1 - Nessa - Breaking some Eggs Convocation - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Vulnerability - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Dominating Blow Dominating Blow - Act 3 - Clarissa - Sever the Right Hand Multistrike support - Act 4 - Petarus and Vanja - The Eternal Nightmare Brutality - Act 6 - Lilly Roth - Fallen from Grace Fortify - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Feeding Frenzy - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Maim - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Cast When Damage taken Tempest Shield - Act 2 - Yeena - The Root of the Problem Cast when Damage Taken - Act 4 - Petarus and Vanja - The Eternal Nightmare Vaal Molten Shell - Needs to be Found/Vaal a molten shell/Or traded Herald of Purity Herald of Purity - Act 2 - Yeena - Intruders in Black Brutality - Act 6 - Lilly Roth - Fallen from Grace Multistrike support - Act 4 - Petarus and Vanja - The Eternal Nightmare Melee Physical - Act 2 - Yeena - Sharp and Cruel Flame Dash Flamedash - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Auras Summon Skitterbots - Act 3 - Siosa - A Fixture of Fate Summon Holy Relic - Act 1 - Nessa - Breaking Some Eggs Clarity - Act 1 - Nessa - The Caged Brute Enduring Cry Enduring Cry - Act 2 - Yeena - Intruders in Black Raise Spectre - Frenzy Monkeys Raise Spectre - Act 3 - Clarissa - Sever the Right Hand Elemental Army - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Blood Magic - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Meat Shield - Act 3 - Clarissa - A Fixture of Fate Again please check the very detailed and informative written guide here: https://balormage.com/build-guides/dominatingblow/
