Dominating Blow is a meleeattack that summons a friendly Sentinel minion on kill or sometimes when you hit a rare or unique enemy. 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, which deals area of effect damage in a cone in front of them.
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. Auras come from monster modifiers.
Sentinel mods: the Skill only copies the Prefix and Suffix modifiers from the monster. These are the regular mods that it gets for being magic/rare, just as with Prefixes and Suffixes on items. Nemesis and Bloodline mods are extra mods that are not prefixes or suffixes, and thus are not copied.
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 SupportMelee Splash SupportSupport, Melee, Attack, Strike, AoE Icon: S Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 130% AoE Radius: 14Requires Level 8Supports melee strike skills, causing their melee strike to deal splash damage around each target hit.Supported Skills deal Splash Damage to surrounding targets Supported Skills deal 40% less Splash Damage to surrounding targets Supported Skills have (0-57)% more Melee Splash Area of Effect
