Series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPo00Kvl9Ha0Lxke7AvKCDgEW8ni1xNWj What is a Dominatrix? A melee summoner Witch that uses Dominating Blow with Facebreaker! Yes, I'm using the two week Perandus Flashback League to play another Facebreaker build! She'll pick the Necromancer Ascendancy class for the Mistress of Sacrifice keystone, and use Bone Offering for lots of extra block/spell block + minion duration. Minion Instability so minions (dominated, skeleton, spectre or zombie) will explode when on low life, dealing lots of fire damage. On top of that pick the Beacon of Corruption keystone so minions will leave a caustic cloud on death, that deals 10% of their life as chaos damage over time. Apparently dominated monsters and skeletons "die" when their time is up, so they will leave a caustic clouds. The caustic cloud duration is unspecified, but Caustic Arrow's caustic clouds last for 2.8 seconds at level 1, so it might be the same? I'm going with an energy shield build using Zealot's Oath and strong life regeneration, instead of trying to get a lot of life. We'll pick up some blocking, some evasion and some armour to layer out defenses. On top of everything, we will have Fortify and a boat load of minions to act as meat shields. We go with Facebreaker gloves and no weapon to maximize our unarmed damage, because we are going to be spread thin in terms of skills, and Witches have some difficulty specializing in melee weapons anyway. We start by playing like a regular zombie summoner, so we get all the +Zombie, +Skeleton and +Spectre nodes. We get Minion Instability to make minions explode. Get all the ES nodes as well, and focus your gear on getting a lot of ES. Maybe some Templar gear to also get armour. Not sure of this. Use Bone Offering regularly to keep our defenses up. Get a good ES shield. The Aegis Aurora Kite Shield would be insanely good, as it replenishes 2% of Armour as ES on blocking. In the endgame, we focus on Dominating Blow + Zombies + Spectres My build intends to use the following skills: - Dominating Blow (Links: Melee Splash + Fortify + Melee Physical Damage). Kill enemies, turn them into minions. What's not to like? While leveling, we replace it with Infernal Blow and the same links. - Flame Dash (Link: Faster Casting): teleport movement skill for Labyrinth and Riverways' broken bridges. - Stone Golem: a melee golem that has a life regeneration aura, taunts monsters and rolls over them to inflict some damage. The life regen will regen our energy shield with Zealot's Oath. - Discipline: boosts our energy shield, and gives ES to our minions. - Arctic Armour: useful early on to get some physical mitigation - Summon Zombie: our primary tanky minions, that also deal damage. - Summon Spectre: raise utility minions, or ranged minions. - Bone Offering: minions can block & gain life when doing so. With Mistress of Sacrifice, it will affect us as well. - Desecrate: create corpses to raise or to consume with Bone Offering - Convocation: teleport all minions to you in case of panic or if they get stuck somewhere - Vengeance / Reckoning (Link: Life Gain on Hit): automatically gain life from being attacked. If block chance is over 35%, go for Reckoning, otherwise use Vengeance. For passive skills, this is roughly what I'm aiming to for: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMDAN-KR4WbiuyD6QI5C75P049Lrhsl2VttGX0YLYsRUJf0IvTsimvbH8c1uVJTbAtMs6crHU-XlT1fkyfJPQQHQkt_xu-Iv5eD24XFJ6l-WRGW-TfyHlXG374HHg5I1886WJUutzBJsayY8NXoWvfXSVEmiIRIzLyboVKvXGvi90QEqsSPRkjnrUrDbQFvEJeFYKcIZ_yLek25na7a3RVQ2Qvr7hpsKpia4BzcMtH3wfqARZ24k48aRUdTUij6iEDAZoLHV8mmrASz0_v56A18N4OQM6IAqH0TbGh06rqm6_AfWpEGSdpiNAospmjyaqyUoBhWN2Z8DqdVW6AAAAAA Bandits: depending on how you want to play, there are some choices. - Normal: help Oak for 40 HP - Cruel: help Oak for the damage, or kill them all for the skill point - Merciless: kill them all for the skill point Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast.
