Obviously the meat of the build, the Facebreakers. Legacy ones are pricy now, so don't worry too much, a decent current pair will be fine.

For our head we need the Abyssus, since breakers benefit most from flat physical damage it's too hard to pass up. Don't worry about the negatives, our defense is still incredibly high.

For our armour we use Daresso's Defiance, high Armour value, life leech, and perma END charges, plus the bonus of onslaught when hit. You don't need a 6L I ran with a 5L for a long time

For the shield we use a Lioneyes, the high Armour value synergises well with the 'Increased Defenses from Shields' nodes on the passive tree, as well as providing life.

Use Atziri's Step if you can grab a pair, the spell damage dodge is great, you could also use a decent pair of life + resist boots, as there's another way to handle spell damage below.

Place one of these on your off hand, I use it to switch to when facing high spell mobs or (mainly) bosses like Temple Piety, blocking spell damage helps a lot and it caps your resists. If you do this you can easily skip using Atziri's Step boots.

Meginords is a must due to that flat physical

You COULD try using a Great Old Ones Ward shield, that will boost DPS considerably however, kinda makes you a glass canon

For the rest of your gear, look for flay physical damage, life and resists.

FLASKS
You'll need two life flasks for a starter, and then

This will add a LOT of damage to your strikes as well as knockback and that 10% extra damage reduction.

Atziri's Promise will also be a good choice for flask number 4, I haven't tried one yet but since an Amethyst Flask is a must have, that DPS increase cannot be ignored.

It's pretty self explanatory, focus on life, armour, and block/shield nodes. If you decide not to use Fortify, skip the fortify boosting ring near the Duelist area, and put those points into life or armour. You can also use a DPS oriented jewel, like Martial Artistry, however I don't have one at present.

We (obviously) take Iron Reflexes, to add that evasion to armour, which works well with Atziri's Step and Daresso's Defiance. Resolute Technique is also a must.

Make SURE you get the mana leech nodes to the right of the Duelist starting area, above iron reflexes, getting them both gives us 0.8% mana leech, which is all we need.

6L: Infernal Blow + Faster Attacks + Multistrike + Melee Splash + Melee Phbysical Damage + (6 - Fortify OR Added Fire Damage)
This should go on the chest (obviously) you could swap Fortify out as the sixth gem and use Added Fire Damage, it will boost your damage output a little but you will lose 25% damage reduction. Your call.
4L: Cast When Damage Taken (L12) + Tempest Shield + Blood Rage | Vaal Haste
4L: Summon Flame Golem + Minion Life | Herald of Ash | Punishment
3L: Reckoning + Added Fire Damage + (4 Physical to Lightning) | Hatred
If you like to can link PtL to Reckoning, it adds some DPS, but it's nowhere near essential
3L: Cast When Damage Taken (L1) - Immortal Call - Flame Dash

The first CWdT will trigger IC and Flame Dash, which will teleport you to your cursor, since it's usually clicking mobs, it will make you seem to jump around the enemies. The second CWdT will trigger later giving you Tempest Shield for 3% extra block, and blood rage, which as long as you're killing will stay active.

I tried having Flame Dash manual, but it just works really well when getting damaged, to get you out of danger or just make you hard to hit.

Also I use Flame Golem for the Damage Boost effect, you could also use Chaos Golem if you like.

Infernal Blow demolishes mobs leaving a field of blood and bone and burning bodies from Herald of Ash, because it explodes them, necro's and corpse exploders don't stand a chance either. Physical reflect mobs don't bother me due to the high Armour rate, Elemental reflect does hurt, but not enough to kill me if I'm careful.

Reckoning will trigger every time you block (so 57-60% of the time) and deals around 12k damage on my character with a 20/20 added fire linked in. This makes it fun, I can stand in a mob on places like Dried Lake and not get hurt. They all just die.

As you kill, you will permanently have Fortify, END charges, frenzy charges, Blood Rage, Tempest Shield, and on some occasions onslaught. The only way I die is by getting 1 shot, which sadly, still happens, due to low health (all those uniques don't help) at 3.7k
