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

After some advice earned from Texazon,

gear


Atm im running just 4 auras (not enought cash to buy alphas howl)

ress 80/54/80 - tommorow im changing boots for tri resist so it will be overcapped 10% 80/80/80
After that im rushing for alphas howl :)

Atm dps 7,324 on cyclone and 14,2k on infernal blow (which im using only to cancel desync lol)
armor: 22,199 which is enought to solo 70+ maps
hp 3,924 after reservation
regen 231 (no vitality used yet:<)

I truly recommend this build for ppl which are worried about that how it deal in late game. I have ranger LA and its way weaker than my fb duelist.

well i wouldnt say it's way better than a geared LA ranger, but it's definately a ton cheaper.

that's the real beauty of this build i guess, it's cheap. u save on a weapon and dont need a single 6l to be effective end game.

only problem i see is it's more of a fun/leveling charc than a mf one, since u essentially have to give up mf on gloves, helm and belt slots.

Which gems should I get quality on? I don't mind getting on all, but I'd like to know which are most important. If u can list them would be much appreciated :D

Cyclone is the most important one. Every % of quality will grant you 1% area of effect which is essential for this build..

..then:

- Concentrated effect (15% reduced mana cost of skill, life if you are using BM)
- Faster attacks (10% extra attack speed)
- Added fire (15% inc fire damage)

These are the most important ones.

Great I'll get all those, and if I can afford a couple more, any worthwhile? maybe curse or something else?

Btw you use cyclone for single target too ? saw ur gems and u dont use infernal blow as the original poster suggest. So cyclone is ur only attack?

The most important quality gem is

CYCLONE :)

It gives u 20% more aoe effect which is just a damn gr8 boost.

According to "i wont say its better than la ranger" yes it is, my la ranger is actually good geared with damn high aoe dps but on single target u just cant compare with fb duelist:)





And yes, cyclone is gr8 aoe skill and gr8 single target skill:)

Is the 12% Physical from Cruel Oak just additive to your Strength/Passive %IncPhys? I heard %Increased Melee Physical gets added "after" Facebreaker's and that it isn't modified by the Facebreaker multiplier, which is opposite of what I'd think.

Anyone know?

tl;dr: Is Increased [Melee] Physical Damage, from Oak's Reward or Passives, additive or multiplicative? And does it get affected by Facebreaker's 9XX% 'MORE' Multiplier like one would assume?

It's a separate multiplier on top of whatever else you already have. You should get it.

I see, thanks. Do you also know how %"Increased Melee Physical Damage" Passives work?
I'd assume it'd work like:
Where X=Increased Melee Physical Damage Passives
And 10.6=Facebreaker multiplier + 1

PhysDmgFromGear * (Str/5+X) * 10.6

But I heard that may not be how Facebreaker calculates, anyone know for sure?

I would get warlord's mark (+30% (60% in total) chance to grant an Endurance Charge when slain aswell as Increase Area of Effect (10% increased Area of Effect radius).

Yes I do use cyclone as single target attack, its much more effective than Infernal Blow.
