Our Piety run is one of the best and is very safe, and your friends are wrong! This build works wonderfully! Also, this build was viable pre-melee buff and is even more viable now.






Totally agree. Fast, head on style, single clicking only!!

If you are playing in Anarchy, may be worth it, but the on full life bonus you'll never get unless you are working off mana. I have a feeling this is a neck that would possibly get play in a CI build, maybe, but even then it will require a little testing since you're losing substantial ES to run it.
Anyone have any thoughts on Unwavering Stance vs Blind from BoR? I used Unwavering for so long thinking it was mandatory but have since been questioning that logic. I am running with 3300hp so my stun threshold is decent. It seemed the only issue for me was Kole who would "occasionally" 2 shot me if he got 2 lucky hits in a row to bypass block. I instead tried dropping Unwavering and dancing with him for a few seconds until Blind kicked in at which point his chance to hit me would drop from 1/4 to 1/16 'ish due to 75% block and then 75% evade. The problem is that if he does get that 1/16 shot on me it is pretty much a guaranteed stun, but if he then has another 1/16 chance to hit me again that stun may not matter much.

Anyone else done any testing with Bringer of Rain and Unwavering vs no Unwavering?

Good question. I'll test this tonight or tomorrow and make a video of it for our purposes. That's probably the easiest way to do it.

You can't blind the unique monster though, I think.

What should i run with dominating blow for reflect mobs? also when you say you do 12k single target are u talking still with melee splash, mulstrike, and bloodmagic in there or do u swap one out?

Ok so apparently the poatch notes are doing SOMETHING big with melee phys damage, I can't understand it however so can someone translate? X_X

Never did ask, what kinda flasks are good for a facebreaker? So far im running 1 granite with 70% added armor, and 3 hallowed flasks that all heal less, but do instant recovery.

As I understand it % modifiers are going to affect x - y damage buffs, so we should expect to see more damage from iron rings and bringer! Good news I'd say!
