Path of Exile

Dominating Blow is also quite good. This guy is a speed runner and obviously knows the game very well but he has a bunch of vods up from this past week doing practice campaign runs with dominating blow



Its.... very strong.

Excommunicate support eh?

"Excommunicated is a debuff which causes the affected character to be unable to deal chaos damage"

So, another way to potentially ignore chaos res?

You want risk that on being able to apply that debuff reliably?

If I'm playing a slammer or something with 5+ extra strikes or big aoe? Yes.

Given the cost of chaos resistance it seems pretty handy as an extra layer.

Strike animate weapon thing looks pretty real. Same base numbers as frost blades and a bunch of other strikes with the possibility of some very large minion attacks for single target. Clear would likely be annoying unless the minions have real fast/aggressive AI, but even then you'd need several extra strikes + melee splash.

New static strike is busted I think? Ends up being ~700% effectiveness with any reasonable amount of attack speed with a phys conversion base to work from. Clear will also be quite good if it gains even 3-4 chains from the scaling charges.

Sweep is probably bad unless the AE is so giga you get 3 hits per swing from overlaps.

Will have to test new shockwave totem and see exactly how it behaves and how much AE you can get. 30% more raw damage than base shockwave is pretty attractive.
