unique items *no longer updated*

Just saw a post on NeoGAF about a unique glove named "Facebreaker". Comes with 814% unarmed damage. My mind is spinning thinking about how this would work. It also adds crit chance and ES, as well as being one of the Extra Gore uniques.

THIS IS THE COOLEST ITEM
HOLY SHIT

Also, what are the stats on default punch? I thought it was something like... 3-5 physical damage, 1.00 attack speed, 5% crit. Anyone know?

So what's your DPS with them on and unarmed? Comparable to DPS with a weapon?

Loving these new uniques. Facebreaker is cool! :)

I'm on hardcore AND running a witch, so I've not experimented with them yet. I don't really have anyone suitable left in HC to test them with, but I'll try playing with the gloves later. Maybe post a youtube video.

But if I were to try a build with them... I'd have to use elemental hit and focus +melee damage physical nodes.

does unarmed attack speed benefit from generic 1h or dual-wield attack speed nodes? EH would scale much better with attack speed than %IPD unarmed.

You aren't wielding anything when you're unarmed, so I suspect only +physical damage done, +melee physical damage done, +attack speed, +elemental damage on hit, and +crit chance/crit damage work with unarmed.

Here's an idea: Shadow with CI. Use +melee physical damage while at full life in combination with elemental hit? Erm, would that even work? Does lightning strike work while unarmed?

Umm, I think frenzy works with unarmed - I only know of elemental hit for sure though. I know that works. But you could do:

Frenzy + CI + Damage at Full Life + Faster Attacks
Elemental Hit + Faster Attacks + Increased Critical Strike Chance + Elemental Proliferation

You'd have to get a mix of strength, dexterity and intelligence and focus entirely in energy shield.
