Hi, End game will be very safe, but leveling is hard. If you have a group to protect you, you will be really powerful from 60 level to the real endgame. If you have 6L you can swap DB for Infernal Blow to have more than 20.000 dmg :). With Melee Dmg + Melee dmg on full life + Melee splash + multisrike + Faste attack damage is insane. Evry pack of mobs just explode in one click.

Hey LeMing,

after leveling up my EA Marauder in Anarchy I finally got some wealth and will start planning my Dominatrix. I want to do this build since ages now, but never had the currency to do it. Really looking forward to play it :)

I have a question to begin with (I think more questions will follow, as I will get deeper into the planning):

How did the build change with the new big patch that came out? I think 0.11.0 it was. Melee got stronger and ES as well, or what do you think? Which things did you change at the build?

Greets

Edit: Im really concerned that this build might not work in Anarchy league, as you cannot get any item with "cannot be stunned" (there is no Eye of Chayula in Anarchy). Do you think the build with all this block chance will still be viable without this amulet? Or should I stack a lot of +% Block/Stun recovery?

Hi,
About 0.11.0 patch - insane buff. DPS is sooo big now. The only problem is mana. When I tried the old build with 6L chest the mana cost was to high. In 5L is OK but 6L is to much. Maybe I wil test the build with new axe? Or just use Infernal Blow instead DB.
About no Eye of Chayula in Anarchy - This is really big problem. Without this amu you will die or most probably just be stunlock forever. I had to relog when I was testing the build without amy. I just cannot move but AA prevented my dead :)

"AA"? :P

Do you think it is possible to stack a good amount of Stun & Block recovery? So if you got like 150% you wont even notice when u block anymore... maybe, dont know, never tried that.

I think I can handle the mana when I get a lot of +Mana,%Regen and 4-6% mana leech on my Rings and Amulet.

AA - Aegis Aurora
I also never tried stacking Stun & Block recovery.
About the mana: in 5L 4% mana leech is sufficient with some %Regen.

yeah I think a 5L won't be my problem. only the block/stun recovery makes me worry a bit. its a risk but no risk no fun :P could you maybe try it with your character, because I dont have any shield char. just buy some very cheap items with a lot of stun/block recovery and stand in the middle of a mob. maybe it helps a lot, maybe not :S

by the way, what do you think of the non-facebreaker version? there is this new 1H axe which came out today, looks pretty cool, maybe even for this build, because u can still use dominating blow if you have 0 mana.

see this thread


EDIT: this is my re-construct attempt, with Unweavering Stance



Less ES but the last patch made it so we need not as much ES anyway. Almost same block chance (2% less), optional 2% life leech and Inner Force for more ES on the other side and better auras.

With this build u can use Stone of Lazhwar which should give u a lot of block against spells and mana.

What do u think?

Those all are good ideas IMO. The axe is perfect for the build bacause mana cost is to big (about 300 in 6L). Unique amulet is really good but rainbowstride and +12% from passives is sufficeint. Armour is very important. Going down the tree allows you to take some more +arm nodes :)
try somethimg like this:

Hey, do you think a build like this for marauder is viable? or shadow even?

Leming thank you for this great build.

Hi,
Marauder is a very good start point for similar build. The only differences are: life instead of ES and infernal blow instead dominating blow. I'm using this build now and this is the strongest build I ever had. Much faster than Dominatrix, cheaper - no armor 5L or 6L (Bringer of Rain), only ele reflect is a problem if res are not max.
My tree:

My items:

Stats:
3,5k life
14k arm
1,2k ES
20k dps
