After i was finished reading this guide and watched your vids i was amazed and had to make a facebreaker cyclone. Usually i go tornado shot ele/phys but now i have found my love for melee again haha. I was doing alot of thinking about this build though and wondered if the legacy bringer of rain might be a better match for this build than belly of the beast 6 link and abyssus. tell me what you think.


sincerly, xephrioth

I have a few questions but first I want to say I absolutely love this build. I've lvled faster and enjoyed the story grinding more than any other character so far! Its been such a great experience and its easy to see why you are so high lvl with your character. Anyways, heres what I would like to ask and please forgive me if these questions have been asked but I tried to go over all the previous posts:

1. Im use to the standard 4 link CWDT, Enduring Cry, Immortal Call, and Increased Duration but I dont fully understand having CWDT/Enduring Cry on your helm and CWDT/Immortal Call/Increased duration maxed on your shield.
2. Have you tested Lightning Coil in this build? Im not sure if you'd have enough mana for Hatred, HoA, and Purity of Lightning but was curious if you have tried to make it work?
3. I saw a mention of Reckoning (which Im using now with my current gem setup) and Endurance Charge on Melee Stun but Im not sure where you placed it. I see it in your current Courtyard video but I can't see where your cursor is.
4. What gems should you quality first?

Again thanks for this build. Just loving it! Oh and thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions. Im gonna check out the gem setups you mentioned and see how that works since it looks like the CWDT setup is going to have to be manual after A4. Ive even thought about testing Daresso's Defiance to see how that works with a steady flow of endurance charges and the onslaught buff which might work better after A4. Im just amazed at how powerful this build is and its so fun to test various changes to see if makes it even better. DeChao thanks for maintaining the posts about this build for almost a year now. More people need to experience Facebreakers!

P.S. I started mapping at 66 with 40k dps. Thats only with a 795% non-legacy Facebreaker, a 5L Belly/Carcass, and not a single 20/20+ gem. I can't wait to see this build grow!

Awesome you like the build!!

By keeping CwdT + Enduring Cry at a lower level I had more Endurance Charges overall because EC procced more before Immortal Call used up the charges. To answer your third question, I tried using Reckoning + ECoMS because there's a chance EC won't work with CwdT anymore. I exchanged the CwdT + EC in my helmet with Reck + ECoMS.
I have though about a Lightning Coil but my defenses are pretty optimal for the build and I don't want to give up the life and resists on my chest.
First gems to quality to me are Cyclone, Faster Attacks and Melee Physical Damage. Then Added Fire, Herald of Ash and Conc Effect.

@TeaAddict >> With a 5 link I'd use Blood Magic, Faster Attacks, Melee Physical Damage and Concentrated Effect.

I've been playing the Beta for a couple of days now and although I haven't made a new Facebreaker yet I think with all the new gems and jewels this build might become even stronger than before. It will take a while to figure out which gems I will replace (probably no more CwdT) and how I'm gonna use the new skilltree and jewels but I have high hopes.
