GhazzyTV - 20+ mil sDPS Dominating Blow & Herald of Purity [LOW & HIGH BUDGET VERSIONS]

So I made some changes to my build. I looked at the top player on SSF who is currently a lvl 99 using Dominating Blow for inspiration. Also got a six-link Armour drop last night! Still working on my gear.

Need to move gems around, i think i can afford to throw vaal summon skeletons and a minion damage support in the helm for the +2 benefit and move hatred/generosity to my offhand, made a mistake in that setup.

Anyways, these changes have made the character much more tanky for boss encounters especially. I respec'd my ascendancy to remove the notable which gives frenzy/endurance charges for the defensive mechanism of curse removal and HP regen. Added enduring cry as an active skill to generate endurance charges and i get frenzy charges from the carnage chieftan x2 spectres. So all i really lose is the ability to get power charges with more consistent charge generation and frenzy for the minions, which helps a lot.

Gear below

it's because you are using a brightbeak. you aren't going to be dealing much damage. you are only looking to clear trash to get your minions spawned who then deal the real damage.

i prefer to use a 1h dps axe because i end up doing 30k+ of dmg myself which is more than enough to clear trash. the minions end up being the boss killers. look at the top dominating blow builds on the ladders. the majority are using 1h dps axe over brightbeak. i think brightbeak isn't a particularly good choice for the build; you move fast enough during mapping due to dominated minion auras and frenzy charges.

you would also benefit from some jewels with minion damage % or minion attack speed % as they benefit both your minions and you. You can roll some ghastly eye jewels with alterations until you get those stats

you also didn't go for the Gravepact notable on the skill tree which would add additional damage for you and your minions. you should really go for that, check my skill tree or the original one to compare
