So, Dominating blow, aka Vaal domination. I've been using this awesome skill every season, starting from the 3.8 league up until now, for a total of 12-13 consecutive seasons.
After last season, I posted on the forum that we need a minion base rare scepter, so we could use bone-shield and several users agreed with it.I don't know if it was because of that request, but GGG provided us with a great unique scepter called "Mata's Teaching" and I am enjoying this league more than ever.
I think my current DPS is between 25 and 30M shaper DPS, and I'm mainly playing 100% delirious maps and delving currently.
Once I finish the Ancester-related challenges, I plan to replace my golem and relic to Animated Guardian and monkey Specters. Then the DPS will probably be increased to around 35~40M.
I like to farm stuffs on my own, so it takes more time than other users. But it also lets me have a good time playing the game for a longer period. Except for one pair of shoes and Uniques gears, I self-crafed all of my gears.
I'm currently crafting a Hunter/Redeemer-based rare armor with fossil. So my build is not done yet. However, I wanted to bring some positivity because it seems like people are getting a bit bored with the game this time around.
I started the season as Chieftain and will probably keep going with it next season.
All four of the revamped Chieftain's Ascendencies are beneficial for DB build.
- Valako, Storm's Embrac
can easily reach max 90% all ele resist
- Tasalio, Cleansing Water
provides a huge amount of free elemental resistances.
- Tawhoa, Forest's Strength
the summoned mirage chieftain applies the dominating blow debuff against monsters. I checked it from recorded video clips frame by frame, and it does proc sentinels. So two mirage, so 2-3 times more sentinel proc rate. I'm not sure if this applies to the unique modifier since it's a 25% proc, so hard to know.
- Tukohama, War's Herald
strike skills target 2 additional enemies and deal 10% more damage. It's everything DB users desire. So OP.
Fresh Meat, the new support gem, becomes stronger as more monsters are present in the content.I only have a 3.4 second duration for the awakened-fury, so at first, I wasn't sure if it would be worth to reaplace it or not.
So, I tested it myself by using Mother's Embrace Unique to see how often the sentinels were resummoned. After checking it multiple times in 100% delirious maps, I realized that it's a solid gem without significantly increasing the duration. However, in pinnacle boss encounters, it would be better to swap this gem for the ones like Brutality, Critical Damage, or Predator support.
I am currently preparing a guide to summarize the skills "Dominating Blow".
My intention is to provide assistance to players who want to create their own DB builds, even as the seasons change. By doing so, you can enjoy the game with more fun and for a longer period of time, rather than simply following someone else's POB. Although I have only laid the groundwork for the Korean version, it is likely that you will see the English version before the start of the next season.
