La Fistiere!

Now i've hit 24, Fisting has never been so much fun:

Using the old Facebreaker Unique, you can mix it up to a pretty impressive degree.
Main skill is Infernal Blow, linked with a nice range of +BLAM skills eg Melee Splash, +Fire, +Physical, Whatever really.

Back it up with Dominating Blow. I've mine linked with +minion Damage and +Duration.

Dominating blow turns anything you kill with it into a minion.

So - you plough through rooms, alternately Turning everything into minions, and weakening champion mobs before... turning them into minions.

It's a nice relaxing playstyle. Probably needs more trap and curse while minions tank for you.

How many chances to respec do you get? Is there a limit or can you do it multiple times if you find the gems? Wondering about how much room there is to experiment?

Sounds interesting, what class m8?

Just beat Dominus on standard easy mode last night in a pug, so now I can move away from my 2h duelist and try other classes/builds.

For interest are most playing on Domination league now then?

Looks fun Chick, my baby witch was heading for a zombie/exploding corpses route, but I prefer to hit things too so ur build looks more fun.

I take it the principal is you hit 'em > they die and turn into an exploding zombie by end build?

Sounds fun!

Pretty much. It's one of the few skills that work with Facebreakers, mine are +795% Unarmed damage so - yeah - it works pretty well :) Currently leveling a Hatred gem (+Cold from Physical) which allegedly stacks pretty well) and using IB for "omg loads lol explod" though from the MArauder it seems IB starts to drop off around late-cruel due to loads of resists.

Heading straight for Exploding Minions now, should have it soon (tm!)

Possibly use Flammability with it to drop resists, or some fire penetration ?
Who knows. Loads of options though if it keeps working.

Been trying this build Chick, but I don't have a facebreaker or dominating blow...yet.

Good fun, but I did drop infernal blow as it was popping too many bodies so I couldn't raise them as minions.

Saying that I am focusing on zombies before anything else and they last long enough now so I might swap back to IB and see how it goes.

Not been playing too much (Blame XCOM) but at 32 it is starting to mature inst a brutal killing machine. 800dps IB at the start of act3. 600 DPS Dominating blow with Multistrike, Melee splash and +Minion damage gives hoards of enemies. I'm 2 or 3 levels from exploding minions then it's carnage time \o/

Nice. I'm still a few levels from it as I want the other way first.

A fun part of Dominating Blow. If you take down Rares or those statues, the effect transfer to you and your "team".

I've 2 or 3 unlevveled DB's on Std - one Is now on page 1 of the guild chest.

Pushing the second half of act 3 - 800dps IB Using Blood magic to keep my mana alive a little & 500dps Multistrike / Melee splash DB costing an astronomical 125mana per hit is absolutely nuts. Turning entire packs into allies in 1-2 hits then sitting back while they go mental on the area then cleaning up with IB is WIN.

I'll try to capture some video later.

Need to start seriously stacking "+Physical damage" mods now.

Have you tried melee splash gem with dominating blow and infernal blow all fused? Bloody great! I can turn whole mobs in 1 hit when it crits :D

Had 8 turned, plus my 5 zombies devastating everything :)

I use Multistrike with Dominating Blow. Found ti works better than splash once you have 'high' dps. I get about 550 with DB so one strike is generally enough to turn 3 mobs. I'll throw my facebreakers into the guild chest later if you want - I'm not playing much standard atm.

IB has Splash and +Melee Damage.
