[1.2.x] Yohanu's Bog-Standard Facebreaker [18k+ DPS, Affordable, Tanky]
|
This thread is work in progress and will be updated as i have time.
Hello there! Decided to post this thing for fun. With Forsaken Masters release, a lot of things changed, and i figured that a Facebreaker would be more effective than ever with the patch. So, first up, some offensive/defensive stats:
Offence
Defence
 As you can see, i am not very high level on this build yet, but so far, so good.

The basic setup is the same as always with a facebreaker, you run Infernal Blow + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks + Multistrike + Melee Splash, and then an optional sixth link that could either be offensive (added fire?) or defensive (life leech). We use Hatred and Herald of Ash as our auras. Hatred is of course for the significant added cold damage, and Herald of Ash because its Overkill mechanic burns the stragglers down in no time. For defences we primarily rely on a great deal of armour, which is easier than ever to stack thanks to the new block nodes available. In our tree we get a total of 110% increased armour from equipped shield, and 135% increased defences from equipped shield, giving us a HUGE 245% increased armour from shield in total. Add the 75% block chance + 195% increased armour and your have yourself a mighty tank! Since we get so incredibly much armour from our shield, running a Third Aura (requires some mana reduction passives) such as Grace, along with an Armour/Evasion Chest would allow you to get even tankier! (This is my actual plan at the moment). We also get a whopping 8.3% of life regenerated per second, which along with regular flask use replaces the idea of leech (even though you can have that as well with a 6l). As if these defences weren't enough, we also use Enduring Cry and Immortal Call with 7 Endurance Charges! Gear Breakdown
Spoiler
The core of the build (obviously), get as good roll as you can. (i paid 5 chaos) Not neccessary, but very helpful for DPS, and relatively cheap. (i paid 9 chaos) A must if you want really high DPS. I can't stress enough how amazing this helm is, and with our armour, the drawback isn't a big deal at all. (i paid 6 chaos) Optional, extremely solid and not terribly expensive shield that gives a decent amount of armour, and caps our block chance to 75%. The reduced physical damage taken from projectile attacks is very strong, and works really well. Optionally we could get a high armour rare with 33% block chance and craft Added Physical Damage using Armourer's Workbench for even more damage. You need at least 2% of physical attack damage leeched as mana on one piece, and 107 Dexterity total to support lvl 20 faster attacks. The dexterity can be tricky to get, while leveling you can spec into Dexterity notables on the passive tree. Other than that, cap your resists and get as high flat physical damage as possible. 4-6L chest for main attack. Nothing unusual here. Arguably the least important slot, just pick whatever you can find at a decent price. I want to stress that this build is NOT finished yet, and is very much work in progress. Things may change as I go on, and I will be sure to update this thread to reflect that. Thanks for checking it out! Updated stats. Last edited by Yohanu#0877 on Sep 8, 2014, 5:41:04 AM

"Yeah, i do! Something i plan to resolve shortly. |

Will this work on Beyond?

Would you think Iron Reflexes is worth the points?
Master of the Arena seems very nice too for the +2 unarmed range (it also has 1% regen). Last edited by Yanoflies#3702 on Sep 5, 2014, 1:33:49 AM

I dont think Iron Reflexes is necessary if u dont use BoR.
Most of our gear are armor-based, that makes Iron Reflexes such a waste for 5-7 points (depending on your path). | |
" I think that Iron Reflexes used to be good for a build like this, but now that you can stack insane armour without GG gear thanks to the Shield nodes, the extra evasion is a better option. Master of the arena is something that would be very powerful, but i haven't really considered repathing for it yet, it's something i may do. |
