" No it's not. The big glowing cross may be a high visibility effect, but it does not clearly differentiate dominated mobs from regular mobs because you have to look for mobs without an extra effect rather than mobs that have a totally different 3D model(like zombies) or tint(like spectres). You cannot immediately decide what you want to target next by glancing at the screen and that holds dominating blow back more than anything else. |

Dominating blow falls into the same category as other single target melee skills like Vigilant Strike, Glacial Hammer, Puncture(melee) and even Shield Charge.
There should be a way to select a passive tree skill, unique item(s), or support gem that sacrifices all attack speed modifier potential in favour of a significant increase in raw damage potential (and possible a boost in move speed). In this way, a person could create real assassin type characters or big thunderous hitting Thor types. In the case of Dominating Blow, one would have more support socket room to explore interesting possibilities for the resulting minions. As Raics eluded to previously, currently the supports must mainly be allocated to initial damage. The skill shouldn't be a '6-link exclusive' Melee splash is lame. Just ditch it all together and be done with it. |

" I was joking a bit, the effect is nothing short of obnoxious, it's obscuring more than it shows and it's one of the reasons I asked for the minion cap. Currently, Dominating Blow is usable, however it tends to surround you with a throng of fluff helpers that can even be a liability as they obscure dangerous monster mods like bearers. So, usable, but not really a satisfying skill by any stretch. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Feel like playing up a DB build just to show you that it can be played. You're on this crusade. How about you document your claims instead of trying to simply garner popular support for them?
Seriously... this is like the sixth one of these and you still haven't answered basic questions about your premise. |

" Succinct :) But not entirely true, there are weaker skills out there, my main beef is that it feels like crap, a totally unsatisfying and pointless skill. There's a summoner in my list that could probably be a decent dominator, I could check how it fares nowadays if you're interested.

"with the current version of DB, you have to heavily invest in minion or your own damage, there is no middle ground, at that cost you better just go another melee skill or minions spell ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it
