(HC/SC) Facebreaker + Cyclone - Fists of Fury Duelist [Videos Included]

I came up with a similar build, before entering this one for inspiration, tho this has helped me quite a bit on thoughts for the items.

So, here's the build:


My final plan has been to get Prism Guardian shield (Aura shield) and throwing Anger, Wrath and an optional third defensive aura into that.
Then I'm going to run with 5 percentage-based auras eventually (After Reduced mana levels past 18); Determination, Purity, Haste, Hatred and Vitality. After reduced mana level 18, they'll all be reduced to the point where i can have them all active on my mana, with my mana being at a top 5% of max.
As for skill-gems, i was planning on getting a 6L chest, with Cyclone - Infernal Blow - Faster Attacks - Added Fire Damage - Melee Physical Damage - Blood Magic.
That's as far as I've thought ahead for now. Currently rounding end of Act 3 cruel, and it's still a breeze.

Anger and Wrath will barely affect you if you use Cyclone, due to the 40% damage effectiveness. I wouldn't recommend going for those.

If you're going to focus on auras, I would definitely recommend getting the Inner Force cluster in the passive tree.

Soloing maps with this build, and by far not optimal gear.



Gems are linked as:

Cyclone - Life Leech - Melee Physical Damage - Added Fire Damage (if I had another link, faster attacks)
Infernal Blow - Melee Physical Damage - Added Fire Damage - Mana Leech (if I had another link, life leech)
Reduced Mana - Hatred - Purity - Grace

3.8k health, around 5-6k armour unbuffed and 75% all resists without purity. Cyclone is at 1.8k damage, Infernal Blow is at 4.6k. The damage is definitely low, because I've been focusing mainly on survivability (Being on Hardcore, and all).

Edit: Just got far better boots.
Another Edit: Just found an amulet that gives a huge DPS boost but sacrifices a bit of life.

Back on topic: What build do you use? Hardcore Tank or Default AOE?

Or your own? Mind uploading it?

I will let you know if anything.

My passive skill tree right now looks like this:

Nice 6 link.

What are your gem combos you run in your gear?

Cheers

Thanks.

Chest: Cyclone + Melee Physical Damage + Added Fire Damage + Faster Attacks + Blood Magic + Concentrated Effect
Helm: Hatred + Grace + Determination + Reduced Mana
Boots: Infernal Blow + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Culling Strike ( would use Added Fire Damage instead but making 3 red sockets in evasion items seems quite impossible and I gave up after 400+ chroms )

Post patch stats at lvl 70:

25430 armour
77% physical damage reduction
80 resistance
3809 hp ( hoping to reach 4.5-5k when I max up all my life nodes until lvl 82 )
4711 cyclone damage with shield

Glad they increased damage effectiveness by 5%, it increased my damage by 700 overall + cyclone is more controlable now.

Just put this build together after picking up a 999% facebreaker and omg do you wreck some face lol. Only lvl 18 but god damn 1kdmg inferno blow allready?? its nuts!

Anyhow thanks for the build, lovein it!

p.s. i think duelists unarmed attack speed should be faster!

Edit: just hit lvl 26 and this is just stupid 2k inferno blow and 490 Cyclone dps lol
Off to bed.

Inner Force is already in there, but thanks for the advice, I will rethink using Anger and Wrath, and probably go all out defensive auras with blood magic.
Only problem then is whether they're worth it (Sacrificing hp for ES, Evasion and an optional third).

IMO, the armour/es nodes aren't worth it. Might get that small 8 percent for the big one with 10% ele resist. But don't do those other 2 small ones. You can take the strength nodes just a bit lower to reach the life nodes from templar. As for those life nodes, did you see that marauder tree has bigger life nodes left?

And if you want to increase your armour so badly, look in the duelist tree for leather and steel, increases armour and evasion by 24%, that's 3 times more than those nodes in the templar tree that do %armour%max.energyshield. As I suppose you don't build energy shield on a facebreaker duelist.

what're your equips? I have a lvl27 but my inferno dps is only 350 atm (I don't have any good equips besides facebreaker + ezomyte's atm, dunno what to prioritize to get more dmg)
