The Unholy Paladin - 3.8 (Dominating Blow)


Hi guyz, short intro here, will customize it as I progress.
Another Dominating blow build, same as my first templar variant on 3.5 i think but with a twist, well...mostly new items and ascendancy.

Pros & Cons
Spoiler

Pro
-Fast mapper
-Facetank
-Easy to play (just right click, and whirl around)
-Never lonely :) The football team is always with you
Con
-Need a few seconds to ramp up damage in single instance boss encounter
-Never get to see your own character because of so many minions/enemies
-Quite expensive in late game(as are all summoners)

Gear, explanation and future planning
Spoiler

At the moment i`m using 4 green socketed gloves to convert all my minions physical damage to cold, applying Hatred aura and Blasphemy+Frostbite.
In the near future I plan on buying a 4 WHITE socket pair of gloves and using 2 curses (Despair + Temporal Chains- despair for damage boost and temporal chains for survivability in higher red maps)

This isn't replaceble, it's not mandatory, but you can't find a better replacement for it in my oppinion.

Yes, I know...zombie armour...sort of...
We have a 7 link dominating blow, which don't leave our side, and taunt everything around us, it couldn't be better than that.

I made a 4 link zombie gem setup - Raise Zombie+Elemental Army+Minion Life+Meat Shield to make sure they don't die, and give us the 7% less elemental damage taken.

Currently, this is what i could afford, but in the future i plan on buying a helm with "nearby enemies have -% chaos resistance" (If i can afford the 4 white socket gloves) and + level to socketed minion gems if possible.

Ascendancy

I think that once I get the full chaos conversion on minions, then yes, but until i try it out for myself, can't say for sure
I`m melting maps at the moment.

Guardians and Shaper down, barely ...died 3 times at shaper, minions are still not tanky enough.
Meat shield/Elemental army and fortify and shaper still manages to kill them.

Was really hoping for a better improvement from GGG on minion life/tankines.

That sucks to hear, I wonder if necromancer would get around that issue.

You can also try Smite+Ancestral Call with Holy Relic and Zombies. That setup carried me until Dom Blow.
