GhazzyTV's Dominating Blow Champion Gear, Jewels & Flasks (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
Summary – TL;DR
Cap your Elemental Resistances and get the attributes your gems require to make sure you can use them all. Most pieces should be Rare with Life and, of course, any lacking attributes/resistances.
My quick list recommended approach for this build would then be:
Item Slot | Item Name | Rarity | |
Head | Bone Helmet | with +2 and life, resistances preferable | Rare |
Amulet | Replica Dragonfang's Flight | Unique | |
Chest | Perfidy | Unique | |
Gloves | Titan Gauntlets | with life+resistances | Rare |
Boots | Titan Greaves | MS, +1 spectre, life and resistances | Rare |
Belt | Darkness Enthroned | Unique | |
Ring | Bone Ring | Life then Res/Attributes as needed | Rare |
Ring | Unset Ring | Life then Res/Attributes as needed | Rare |
Weapon | Imperial Claw Increased minion damage, Attack speed, and Trigger Socketed Spell craft | Rare | |
Shield | Redblade Banner | Unique |
The gear
Helmet
Ideally we’re looking for a Bone Helmet
Prioritise stats as follows:
1: +2 to Level of All Minion Gems
2: High Life total, preferably 110+
3: Resistances are very welcome if possible.
Body Armour
This slot is occupied by our mandatory Perfidy. Ignore the melee damage, look for decent life roll and higher value gain modifier. Ideally we want both max rolled.
Gloves
High armour gloves, Titan Gauntlets or better, with high life, resistances (preferably chaos)
Boots
High armour base, Titan Greaves or better, with Elder influence.
We’re looking for +1 level of Raise Spectre gems, life, movement speed and resistances.
Belt
Darkness Enthroned with a 75% roll is your ideal candidate here. A higher roll is, of course, better. They tend to be way out of budget, however.
Accessories
Amulet
Replica Dragonfang's Flight with +3 to level of Dominating Blow gems.
High rolls are obviously better, but try to get at least 8%.
The anoint you want is Death Attunement. 1x Clear Oil, 1x Crimson Oil and 1x Silver Oil
Rings
As our rings in this build are doing very different things, I’ll be splitting them up.
Bone Ring
The primary purpose of this ring, is to access minion modifiers. Prioritise stats as follows:
1: Life
2: Minion Attack Speed
3:Chaos Resistance
4: Attributes
5: If you can balance attributes, get a -7 mana cost craft here. This CAN be dropped for a dex craft if you’re struggling (which is what the PoB does)
Unset Ring
The primary purpose of this ring is to gain a socket. Prioritise stats as follows:
1: Life
2: Chaos Resistance
3: Attributes
4: -7 mana cost craft
Anything on top of that is a bonus
Weapon
We’re going with an Imperial Claw. These things are incredibly easy to make yourself. You spam essence of fear on a gemini claw, until you hit attack speed. Then you craft trigger.
If a fractured high attack speed(27%) Imperial Claw is cheap, get one of those and spam a higher tier essence on it. It should not take very many before you hit a t1 +max essence. Then craft trigger and GG.
Shield
Redblade Banner Is the cornerstone of the build and the reason it works as well as it does. You cannot replace this shield, ever.
Jewels
Every single jewel in Low Budget is a Ghastly Eye Jewel.
We need them all to have life modifiers. Ideally we also want them all to have 20% increased minion damage if you’ve used a minion skill recently, but settling for 16-19% is more than fine early on.
Stats like Attack Speed, flat phys and the like are very valuable, but tends to increase the price of the jewels drastically.
Taunt and blind are not important in this build, as we are intentionally taunting everything off the minions for a change.
Flasks
Flasks are very flexible and always to some extent a matter of personal preference. I’ll outline my suggestions below, and unless you’re very experienced and have a good reason to deviate, I’d suggest you try this setup first.
Slot | Flask | Description |
1 | Masochist or Flagellant Basalt Flask with Curse Reduction. | Preferably 50%, but take what you get early on and upgrade later. |
2 | Maschist of Flaggelant # Granite Flask with % armour | Preferably 50%, but take what you get early on and upgrade later. |
3 | Maschist of Flaggelant # Quicksilver Flask Open suffix. | Get whatever suffix you prefer here, as all elementals are covered by Purity of Elements |
4 | Effervescent or Bubbling Divine Life Flask with Bleed + CB immune | Removing bleed and CB is the best thing this flask can do for us |
5 | Effervescent or Bubbling Divine Life Flask with Bleed + CB immune | Removing bleed and CB is the best thing this flask can do for us |
The 5th flask can be replaced with an amethyst if you’re struggling with chaos resistance. Just make sure it has a Maschosist or Flaggelant prefix.
