Hey Rezor love the build. I have mine up to level 80 right now but I'm low on resistance so I had to take the 3 18% res nodes to make up for it. Need to max my block asap
Anywho I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could share/link me a frenzy and cyclone version of this build. I'm particularly curious about non blood magic versions. Last edited by Wangbang31#5419 on Dec 15, 2013, 10:18:45 AM

redzor i have a question, is a 190% soul taker better dps than facebreakers?
With the exact same skilltree and a soultaker instead of a facebreakers, with added fire instead of bloodmagic my theoretical dps was 10k with hatred on, thats on paper, i mightve fked up some calculations. I have enough to buy a legacy soultaker, but unless it gives me at least 5k+ dps over facebreakers i wont bother, can u shed some light on this? ign @Firion_Black

I play on Domination and played with 780% Facebreakers and now with a 131% Soultaker. Soultaker does less damage. 16k before and 14k after, but i still prefer Soultaker because it gives much more freedom with mana (i played with 2% manaleech on facebreaker instead of bm) and auras. 50% mana regen and Elereflect maps were a pain. Now I can swap in Domination blow for reflect maps or just for fun to annoy party members. With Soultaker you can also take Lava Lash and Weapon elemental Damage in the Skill Tree.
Another advantage from Soultaker over Facebraker is the attack speed. Facebreaker Multistrike takes ages to finish. The big Onehitkill Wonders in the game are the Maze, Residence and Palace Boss. With a fast weapon, multistrike finishes faster and you can leap slam away (and you have 3 more sockets to put in leapslam or another cwdt). Being able to run Determination/Hatred + Purity of Elements helps, but to be honest I don't need the extra Resis from Purity. But I would love to run three 60% Auras (Discipline). But unfortunatly only 21% reduced mana reservation are possible in that area of the skill tree. with lvl 20 reduced mana gem: 60%*0.71*0.79 = 33.65% Not enough to run three 60% Auras. |

" Glad you liked it and good luck getting BoR. It was 4 exalts when I got it back in open beta, now it's way more expensive at least on Standard :/. |
|
" Unless you'll go for more than 5 frenzy charges (3 + 1 close to duelist + 1 from bandits), the builds are pretty much the same. Cyclone and Frenzy are viable, I just din't like Cyclone because of desyncs and high casting cost, and I don't have enough dexterity for max level Frenzy. Just my 2 cents. I'm sure that there are other other build options for these skills :). |

" Hmm, I didn't have a chance to test a Soultaker. I think you might need some more damage nodes to get good DPS but that's just a blind guess. I'd recommend to borrow a similar DPS weapon just to check tooltip DPS and then decide whether to purchase Soultaker or not. I once found a 350 physical DPS sword, but sold it :/. Might look for another one and try. EDIT: derberherbert replied about Soultaker a couple of posts above, looks like some more DPS nodes are needed indeed.

" Thanks for contributing this info. As for auras, you can run health regen aura instead of purity. It was changed to a 40% aura not long ago. However Discipline would've been much better for sure. |
|
" Thanks for getting back to me I see, well thats good to know. I think I may just try going 5 frenzy charge build just to test it out. I remember you saying something earlier about a frenzy build you've been wanting to run so thats why I asked. There was also someone mentioning a 40k dps frenzy mana version that perked my interest. I guess that may be something different entirely. |

Hey, this might be a long post, or not, we'll see, but just something fun you guys can do that I just thought of. Rofling so hard while doing this and just trolling lmao.
However, the idea is that currently at lvl 83 with pretty crappy rings, I have a measly 15.5k dps with infernal blow, however, more than enough to kill myself if I'm next to a pack of 10 or so on 18% ele reflect. A way to remedy this so that ele reflect maps, because the eziest thing of the century is to just switch out infernal for dominating blow. Don't need any changes to anything, just skill gem swap, since the mobs who become your slaves scale with whatever they are, they should be pretty strong, not to mention every so often some rares provides some funny and nice buffs just for the trolls. (Found myself with a rare that gave discipline which boosted my ES from 600 to 5200.... hilarious.) Another note is that, all the slaves that work under you gets all your gems thats linked in the BoR along with your auras(Which I didn't know!). So all your minions will receive (in my case) 20/20 melee splash, 20/20 multistrike, blood magic, lvl 18 melee physical dmg, lvl 18 faster attacks, lvl 18 blind, and on top of that your auras.... So hatred aura for MOAR dmg, determination for more armour, and purity of elements for more resistances. So our slaves are pretty dam strong and tanky and all we did was switch ONE gem. Easy life. Pretty funny. Don't even need a quality dominating blow, but considering the person I am. I went with a quality anyways, but no one was selling a 20/20, so currently gotta level it to 20 xD. (Lvl 20 0q Dominating blow slaves last 33 seconds, with 20q its 39 seconds lasting, so you can EASILY opt out of not using quality, since it's like 0.3 sec per quality iirc). Hope you guys have as much fun as I am and soon I will find some random parties to troll as I heard people don't like this stuff :3 hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. P.S. almost forgot for anyone who wanted to know the dps. IIRC dominating blow doesn't give any damage boost, but, my dps with 18/20 infernal blow is 15.5k dps, while with 5/20 dominating blow is 12.5k dps. So it's not too bad. Have fun trolling(and doing ele-reflect maps with ease)! Last edited by Opungo#6721 on Dec 16, 2013, 12:08:41 AM
