[3.8] Dominating Blow Juggernaut - SSF / Beginner / League Starter
|
This build is amazing! I'm lvl 75 now and i can farm red tier maps with rippy mods without many problems (ulab done at lvl 71)
The only item i can't afford is the amulet (20ex with the haste mod right now), do you have any particular alternatives or just rare with life and res? The cycle of life and death continues. We will live, they will die.

" For dps, I can't think of anything else that is worth the effort. I would go with rare marble amulet with crafted regen (+life, resistances etc.). You could get a +1 curse from somewhere (or swap enfeeble) and use a vuln impresence with blasphemy if you can make room in your gem setup. |

Hello and thank you for this build
I would like to know what are the stats to take priority over the stuff? I would like to know what was your quantity of life and mana at about level 75? I would like to know what jewelry to take? (with the stats) I would like to know if you are using the haste gem buff or just the vaal haste gem bonus, or the 2? I would like to know how you got the spider skill? thank you |

" -Not sure I understand your first question. Minion attack speed, Minion damage, life, resistances and a bit of mana leech are the stats you need. -Life was around 6k, mana I don't remember and it's not important. -Ghastly Jewels with minion attack/cast speed and +to max life. If you are good with life, go "minion damage if you used a minion skill recently" instead. -Only vaal haste. Haste needs an expensive amulet to run it as an aura and it's not that important. -You either buy it or craft it at your menagerie once you have the recipe. |

Wanted to drop in and thank you for sharing this build. I've been playing it the last week and enjoying it. I had a bit of a tough time in the early 30s, but once I hit 38 and could equip the CWDT setups, I really had an easy time.
I started off using Smite and when I switched to Dominating Blow it was a bit like, waaaa! what happened to my DPS? No doubt about it, this skill takes some getting used to. But I finally was able to get it through my head that I'm just hitting mobs, my minions are killing them. Not your usual build, that's for sure. Cheers. |

Hi!
I'm a new player who picked your build as a first build ever. Thanks very much for your build, I really enjoy it :) Really simple. The dexterity was an issue for me - couldn't figure out how you are using claws, when by default dex is awfully low. Answer was simple - amulet with dex. However, there is one think that I don't understand: " I have 4 link item, and added items like you suggested. It seems that CWDT doesn't proc stone golem, and war-banner. Therefore, why they have to be linked? Additionally, I'm having mana issues. Warbanner + heard of purity means that I don't have enough mana reserves for haste... And this is with sovererity already :( I didn't try the vaal haste - maybe it doesn't require mana reserves? (here's my tree) Last edited by trueAbstract#1252 on Jan 17, 2019, 9:14:06 AM

" Banner doesn't have to be linked, you can slot it anywhere you want. Stone golem should proc with CWDT. Maybe you let your golem get above the level of CWDT? Haste is there only for the vaal part, you don't use it as an aura. Any amount of mana leech on gear should be enough to solve your mana issues, at least once you have some decent damage on your hit. You can load your build in Path of building to see how much leech you have. If it's not yet sufficient, you can grab "deep thoughts" or "righteous decree" passives and respec later. As for dexterity, build uses very few uniques so you can grab dexterity in lots of gear pieces. Another option is to go for the high regen version that gives more dex from tree. |

thanks very much for comprehensive answer. Indeed, stone golem was above CWDT level. Sorry for that, my bad :(
Vaal haste - understood. I will try to buy one on market later on. Price goes from 1c to even 15c. So far, I have found only 7 chaos orbs, so buying haste now is probably not a good idea. Mana is not that bad, I just have to use mana potion once a while :) Although I will definitely look for mana leech on gear. |

I went with the budget and couldn't find good life on stuff so my life is only 4,100 at level 72 and i died in 2 hits from the boss of a magic tier 5 map. I don't understand why either I have 25k Armour, so high phys reduction, all 75 res, 575 life regen when golem active, and first two labs done. The only thing I can come up with is I don't have high enough damage on hits to get enough life leech. How can I survive?

" Budget/Expensive/High regen examples, are ment for level 90-92. You don't need brass dome this early. It's normal to have low life at this level with no hp from chest armor. As you can see in "my current gear" section, I start with a rare chest and swap to brass dome (which is still optional) after 85 and after I get decent life on rest of gear and jewels. Leech is probably low at this point, but you shouldn't need it, especially for t1-10. Minions should destroy everything pretty quickly. Last edited by Jdahl22#2182 on Jan 22, 2019, 4:34:54 AM
