Mathil's Shield Charge FaceBreaker - The... Pinball?

Can anyone explain why +8% attack speed at bandits and not 16% more phys dmg?

I know this build is centered around unarmed but I was wondering if you could answer something about the mechanics of shield charge. Does weapon range factor into the area of effect of shield charge at all?

Most likely he is valuing the clear speed boost from 8% attack speed over the extra damage.

Attack speed will effect how many times you can shield charge per second (as it would with any other skill). I believe that it also makes the charge time faster (the time from when shield charge is used to when you reach the end of the charge). The charge speed is effected by both movement speed and attack speed.

Thx for your answer hectichippo!

Another question i got ( and hopefully someone can answer) :

Is this build viable to clear uber atziri and the other end game Content? ( had a Long break from Poe, so im not even sure what end game Content all includes)

has anyone tried "the retch" with his leech bonus damage ?

Having a blast with this build. Things just melt. Thank you.

Current gear:

I just did Atziri and Uber Lab and oh boy, what a cakewalk. My totem legit fucked Izaro up, it wasnt even funny. Great build, I'll try the Berserker variant as soon as my gems hit 20.

Sup guys! Rerolling with this build in HC. Only lvl 42, just killed izaro normal - a total breeze. Only problems have been getting the Intel and recently dex for gear and gems.

Anyone else playing this on HC? I see people talking about breezing through content but what about surviving? Am a little concerned about abyssus...

#1 HC was facebreaker shield charge, you can look up his char on the ladder.

He was using BoR istead of Abyssus.

Yeah saw that. That's why I'm asking, do people using abyssus die? Or is he using BoR just as a precaution?
