[1.0.0 UPDATED] 2H Melee dominating blow build - Fun and effective (also with facebreakers)

71 temple map, how do you dominate piety...how do you dominate es/regen/allied frency mobs....The assumption of flipping them doesn't stand up to the fact that they most likely kill you first before you flip them.

you cannot dominate uniques. if you had read the description of the gem you would know that.
IF you could.. well, you'd have a dominated piety with no monsters around for her to attack.

Run Grace on your life , fuck wrath and anger because they give .1 dps increase , and run Vitality+Hatred+Determination+Purity on your mana. As curses use vulnerability for damage and enfeeble or temp chain for defense.

I got a question, how can you run 4 % on your mana??

Am i missing something?

I haven't read the whole thread, I was just curious why 2h instead of facebreaker build? If it was in the OP and I missed it, my bad :)

Reduced Cost support/passives.

Can Facebreaker be used for Dominating Blow? How is the damage output relative to using a 2H weapon? I want to use a shield to make me more tanky, so I prefer to play this build without a 2H weapon.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've figured out that Facebreaker has more potential than Marohi Erqi.

facebreaker sux at it cant use a koam

Facebreaker can do more damage per hit than Marohi Erqi if you build right. Then you use a shield with high block and get some spell block. It's much more defensive. Plus, Kaom's is not in everyone's budget.

What about using Chober Chaber?

I think the reason it's not used is because your toon's damage from Dominating Blow doesn't benefit from minion damage support gems, so "+1 to minion gems" is useless. Instead, you need to get a very high damage 2h weapon and Chober Chaber doesn't cut it.
