[1.2.0] How to Smash Heads.Guide for a CI Facebreaker Witch with Infernal blow2
|
I don't think that's an efficient way to increase AOE dps. Better use all the links on your chest to make Infernal Blow hit like a truck. You won't need any more AOE dps, especially if you get Q20 on IB and Melee Splash.

Another question here:
How do you think about the PS (Power Syphon) build? Does PS build much powerful than CIFB? I think one issue for PS/critical build is the ele ref map. It will be headache for PS build. Last edited by aresina#5614 on Dec 11, 2013, 10:09:16 AM

" I mean to place the "Cast on melee kill + another DPS spell" on other gear, not on chest on which we still keep the 6L for IB. Is it possible to active this DPS spell by kill mobs using IB? Last edited by aresina#5614 on Dec 11, 2013, 10:22:03 AM

" It is possible to do that but pretty pointless. As the gem Cast on Melee kill says, the DPS spell would be cast when the mobs are already dead. Makes no sense, right? If you really want to use this trigger gem, a defensive spell would work I guess. But then you'd have to switch between main attack and the trigger attack and most of the time it wouldn't work because mobs die too fast from the main attack. Offensive trigger gems don't fit well together with Facebreaker builds imo. |

Actualy NO it can't be linked in another slot and triggered by Infernal blow! It NEEDS to be LINKED to Infernal blow in order to work ... and that's .... useless...
For the Power Syphon builds ... i had 2 in total .. one physical based and one elemental based.. and i must say that i'm not impressed at all... probably if you have a godly 100+ exalts wand ... but for me thats not the build for me and it's definetly not more powerful than this one ... of course you can try it if you want to :) P.S. About the PS builds .. the new support gem will fit i think ... if i decide someday to try such a build again ... i'll try to use that gem... probably i'll do sa physical based CI PS with : Power Syphon + LMP/GMP + Chain/Pierve + Range Physical Damage + Faster Attacks + Crit Multiplier The tree would look something like this ( WARNING this is a tree made by me for around 2-3 mins ... and it should NOT be used as it is .. it's just an untested rough tree to give you the idea what it should look like.. more or less.. ) Block is not needed imo since you have range. But i don't have a 6L chest with so many Green sockets... and i no longer have even a slightly good phys damage wand... and i don't want to waste exalts in order to get one... so won't be making such a build for very long time "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!" Last edited by KorgothBG#4084 on Dec 11, 2013, 11:17:10 AM

Why not use a Saffell's Frame rather than a Rathpith for caster bosses?
It has 120% spell block vs the 60% of Rathpith and +5% max all res which will probably be capped when you use it because of the innate +18% all res The only downsides I see are 4% less block chance and less ES, still the 85%+ spell block would be worth it no?

Well it works too ... but some bosses ( like Dominus ) have melee attacks aswell as spells and saffel can't block attacks... besides that less ES is actualy more than 1000+ ES
And you can't have 85%+ spell block ... because the cap is 75% and with rathpith + rainbow strides you are close to that cap "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"

Fair enough, didn't know about the block cap

just imagine if there was no block cap ... that's my dream! :D you can become immortal !
100% spell/attack block chance :P "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"

I just came here to say that this is hands down the best build I have ever seen for the amount of money invested into it. The defense to damage output ratio is better than I've ever seen.
To get the correct gear to maximize this build is pretty expensive, but every single tweak and purchase is worth it. I recently 6L'ed my ar/es chest, and now I'm plowing through maps with literally any combo of mods with no problems. Ele reflect + -max + vulnerability? Pssh, life leech gem instead of melee phys = god mode. I'm still in disbelief how well this build functions. Only at 71 maps right now, but the ONLY thing that's come close to killing me is desync (and by close, I mean I went below 1/2 ES). So yea, thanks for posting this. Awesome build man. |
