[3.28] Tiger King - Dominating Blow of Inspiring - Farrul Bloodline Guardian
|
I see in the PoB it shows all bandits killed, would you want to help Alira early and swap to +1 sk later on?

" For sure, there also aren't that many efficient points for us on tree until we get 12pt clusters so you should 100% take Alira for longer than you might for other builds. Added to Progression. Last edited by Gerrador#4355 on Nov 21, 2025, 4:08:25 AM

Dominating Blow does so much damage; people are sleeping on this archetype. livejamie Last edited by livejamie#0512 on Dec 9, 2025, 12:32:54 AM

Hi! Thank you very much for the guide, i've learned a lot :)
As of now finished a budget equipment but very close to your main concept. Getting a full 6 red sockets on and energy shield armour has been troublesome, do you have any advice on what links could be useful in a 3 red 3 blue setup? Thanks! |

So, how we feeling after patch notes? New exceptional gems, Dominating Blow gems buffed, Farrul's buffed. Tigers squisher, but deadlier. New Holy Strike which summons minions, but not as many as DBoI.

I'm considering this for 3.28.
I've already had experience with dom blow through was it balor's? dom blow guides. Aswell as going a generic absolution guardian and bought that to endgame for my enjoyment. I understand the mechanics of not focussing on minnion damage etc. I just still have a bunch of questions and potentional problems of why I'm skittish to try another minnion build. When I poe ninja your character it just starts on day 4 with the blind jewel, clusters and already being in the midgame stage. I have no other sources of how to build this build from the ground up. Just: Here's a weapon crafted into the endgame with a serveral divs on league launch shield that we hide behind aswell as a necklace that's locked behind an uber boss. Does it drop in value real quick? Sure. -How do you build this from the ground up? (Aka, how do we get to day 4 that I can see on poe ninja). I don't need a leveling guide. I'll take absolution and get dom blow, do lab and just transfigure dom blow for free in the upcomming 3.28 QoL. Even if fate doesn't give me gear to swap off of absolution I know that's strong enough to walk through the early game. My question now becomes: -What gear in what order is 100% necessary to play this. preferably with stages of the game. Like: - Hitting maps: You should have res cap. Full rare and a 1c unique called maata's teaching. Skill points here and there because we don't have clusters yet. It's missing from this guide and it's making me very hesitant to try this. I'm sure I can pick it up from scratch with my previous experiences with minnion builds over the years. But I'd love some quick words or a video or even a PoB with just some words to guide us for possible scenario's. |

" Big buffs! We do lose a lot of top-end power from how OP grafts were, but pretty much all builds lost some power from that so we're still good. (Losing Lucky ground does mean we probably need to squeeze in a Perfect Spirit of Fortune even if we don't benefit from its Wrath aura) Sentinel of Radiance is very nice QoL since he could feel clunky, Primal Roar buff lets us drop down from 30+ minions down to a more comfortable 20-25 and opens up more utility options with our freed up gem slots and dropping HoP. The Spectre lvl change should also provide us with a small amount of extra aura stats from Corpse spectres. Holy Strikes is neat-looking but pending numbers (and an "Inspiring" transfig for high % minion dmg scaling) it likely won't beat out Dom Blow's raw dmg effectiveness. But we'll see! " All good criticisms! I intend to fix up the guide a bit over the next day or two with adjustments and earlier progression PoB(s). Here's a fairly barebones early league PoB using Frostbreath, RT, obtainable rares/uniques, and 2-mod jewels (inc. 25%/2% 11pt low-ilvl clusters): https://pobb.in/f4-sYb9Y8RhW |
