I can't feel Facebreaker's 960% DMG

Hi Newbie here, I got a 960% Facebreaker and been wondering what I'm doing wrong. I don't see the DPS change much on the character page or even on POBB. Can someone enlighten me what I'm doing wrong?

It's because you have basically no base damage for it to multiply. 0 x 960% remains zero.

For Facebreaker to work you want sources of flat damage from other gear slots as well as increased damage from gear/tree to have a solid basis which is then multiplied by Facebreaker. Currently you have zero flat damage from your gear, the only reason you are doing damage at all is because unarmed attacks have a trivial base damage to begin with.

You want steel rings with flat phys explicit, Abyssus for even more flat phys and probably bloodthirst for yet more. Sadly GGG removed flat phys damage from almost all gems so gear is now the only way to get it. None of that is available on your current level though. I am not sure how people use facebreaker for leveling, you'd have to look for a guide on it, but based on what i know i'd say it's not advisable. You should use a weapon until you have the level to properly utilize the gear you need.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, now that makes sense. Yeah I should have been using a weapon by now hahaha. I appreciate you responding :D

Facebreaker disables weapon usage, it only works with unarmed melee attacks.

That is incorrect. You can equip Facebreakers and still equip and use a weapon. I have just reconfirmed this with my Facebreaker-equipped Gladiator :)
