Overview

Guardian - Dominating Blow - my starter is a Path of Exile Guardian build by TestingSumthing, made for the Sentinel league (3.18). It is centered on Dominating Blow and plays as a strength, attack, minion, duration archetype. In Path of Building it reaches 2.16M DPS with 9.86K effective HP, 4.09K life. Suited for: Essence. Key uniques include The Scourge.

TestingSumthing's Notes

EDIT:

Apparently i missed a nerf line from the balance manifesto..

Please check a more realistic PoB (1M DPS) here: https://old.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/wlddrn/guardian_dominating_blow_my_starter/ijsybg6/

As for me, i'm no longer starting with that build.. loosing half damage on something that is hard to scale further is not worth it

1M with 6L and Scourge claw (when you manage to spawn all of your sentinels)

So in even more realistic scenarios it'll be 500k DPS.....


I finally found my league starter! (unless something new catches my interest tomorrow during the announcement livestream!)

This is the best version i could come up with, 2.1M DPS, with just "The Scourge" unique claw and the new mod "+2 all minion gems" on the helm, hopefully it is easy to get, until then, we'd use a simple Staff crafted with essences, it should carry until i can find the claw

I never played minion build before, so that'll be a first time

I looked at many different PoBs, i stripped all the annoying things i have with minions, and went with a super simple gameplay loop!

One thing to note, until we get "Tribal Fury" on the tree, we'll have to use Ancestral Call gem for quality of life for DB since it is a strike skill and strike skill are annoying to use due to name locking

Hopefully that PoB will be helpful for some people
