Dominating Blow is a meleeattack that applies a debuff which causes the monster to summon a Sentinel under your control when killed. Sentinels copy the mods of the monster it was raised from.
Sentinels: Sentinels use regular melee attacks, as well as Shield Charge on a cooldown. They can also perform a Crusade Slam if you have the Unwavering Crusade passive.
Sentinel types: Magic (blue named) and rare (yellow named) enemies can be made into a Sentinel using this skill, but unique monsters cannot. Magic and Rare Sentinels will keep all special attributes of the enemy it was raised from, including auras which will be applied to the player and all allies.
Support gems: Any support gem that can apply to both an attack as well as a minion skill will apply to both the attack made by Dominating Blow and the Sentinels. For example, Melee Splash Support will grant both the attack made with Dominating Blow and the Sentinel's basic attacks splash damage.
Sentinels won't hit additional targets if the skill gems is supported by Ancestral Call Support, but will still receive the "Supported skills deal x% less Damage" penalty.
Dual wielding: Dual wielding attacks with Dominating Blow will alternate the weapon being swung.
