Just did Palace Dominus (with extra lightning dmg and shocking ground) for the first time and I felt the need to comment here. The entire fight didn't last 1 minute.

I'm using this build with minor variations (less shield nodes, more max res and 7 EC) on my current character. Even with 800% Facebreaker and 5L I get 26k DPS. Probably the best affordable build I've seen.

Ye, I see a few people doing an alternative of the build with more Endurance Charges, personally I prefer the extra block since it lets me facetank Atziri when I swap to saffell. And I'll be getting the next max res node at lv94 or so.

You should definitly try Apex of Sacrifice, it should be about same difficulty or even easier than Palace Dominus.


As for build update, I'm not gonna be trying Uber Atziri for a while, at least not untill prices go down, but I'm confident this build can kill Uber Atziri as most damage is negated by spell block anyway. The problem would come from the bosses before her, maybe a swap self cast enduring cry and increased duration immortal call would be the way to go, not sure yet. I'll post an update when I try it. For now I'm taking a break from leveling while I farm Atziri from time to time.

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but could you recommend a progression guide to this spec? I'm very interested in running it as I've always wanted to make an end-game Facebreaker character.

Also, when would you recommend switching to Cyclone from IB? Currently using IB to level with Facebreakers.

I did answer that ingame that as soon as you're able to substain Cyclone without killing yourself, but yea I thought about making a leveling guide and what skills to use when, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll try to have one up by the weekend.

What do you think about running something like Vaal Haste + Vaal Grace + Increased Duration or a Vaal Cyclone 3L on your shield? I feel like something could be used to make the build stronger.

Vaal Grace and Haste are probably quite good, but I've tried to run Vaal Cyclone unlinked, and the damage wasn't good enough.

added some leveling tips, not exactly a guide, but a few pointers that will help you.

What do you think about Lioneye's Remorse compared to Aegis? From the videos it doesn't seem like Aegis is doing that much, but I could be wrong.

Remorse is ok... I would rather use a high resistance shield with life over it though.

Aegis might look like it's not doing much, but it still is giving me ES which in the long run lets me survive easier.

Hmm the new unique Granite Flask might be worth using while you're still low on block like < 40 or so.

Hey man, nice build, i've been looking for a Build to do Atziri for some time now, but they're all way to expensive, i do have a ST Crit dagger And was thinking on blowing al my currency to get a Crown of eyes and going Low life but then i saw this... I have a lvl 80 Facebreaker with IB and i will totally respec into this (well i have almost the same passives actually) I'll leave my gear/passives so u can tell me what u think i might have to change.




Im doing 35.5k DPS with Hatred / 28.3K With no auras and have 19.8k armour with determination.

Thanks :)
