So if you use facebreaker armor/items - do you use no weapon at all? just a shield?

Yeah just a shield so no weapon. So i miss training 3 skillgems.
Its great for leveling, but now at level 60 i think its time to change some gear and stop use infernal blow.

So i did make a new templar, did find a (888%) facebreaker and some +physdamage gear from old chars and did test this build again.
And its insane.
Around level 40 i did have 6k dps with a 5L armour and the facebreaker. I one hit almost everything and when they die they kill off the rest with infernal blow. I did just reach merciless and did kill brutus with 3 attacks, guess its a 9-hit .-) Multistrike is good.
so far only problem is mana, a 5L infernal blow is very costly, so only running minimum amount of auras depending on the map. and i refuse to use blood magic, i need all the hp i can get in hardcore.
Anyway i can def recommend anyone to spend 1-2chaos and buy a "crap" facebreaker, and you will out-dps any other weapon and skillcombo until level...

Thanks for that. I think you are the second or third person in the thread to sing the praises of Facebreaker!

6K is amazing for level 40......

Don't forget the mana leech support gem which works fine with Infernal Blow. Or, you can try two 2% mana leech items. In either case you would probably need 3 repetitions of your skill available on your mana. That could be quite a bit with Infernal Blow!

Mana regeneration on gear helps a wee bit too.

Yeah problem is solved by not using any pure hp-potion. Which feels odd in hardcore...But i think ill drop down the gloves for my next hc-alt.
Finding physdamage rings with tripple resist is hard enough, getting mana leech would be awesome but so far for leveling +physdamage and resists, life is priority for me. It's not often i run out of mana, and when i did i used a tp to town and dropped of some loot. I still pick up most of the rares + chromaticgears i find.

Oh well ill die anyway soon against vaal ;-)

One major annoying thing with facebreaker, is that shield charge doesnt work with it. But for leveling 16-60 its been way faster then anything ive tried before. And i play chickenstyle :) Oh and ive never got any friends before, but got a few ones when i cleared maps for them one-hitting everything. even the ugly golems in cruel-fellshrine did go down.

But its dull and boring to not find new weapons.

Thanks - at level 76, I am around 4K DPS max I think :( I use a so-so axe ( not the soul taker which seems to be the top axe a lot seem to have/buy!)

Guess I will buy a facebreaker glove and try this out for a lark - guess I cant use heavy strike with that (have an infernal blow gem levelling - it is at level 12 now so not too bad).

:)

looks like there will be a passive tree wipe (guess reset option?) with release!

Not sure if this build would be affected much - but we might get some new awesome nodes!?

A small feedback after hitting lvl 75 using the 5L chest from MildlyClever;
I try several setups for HS :

- with added fire damage as 5th slot you just destroy any bosses ... enjoyed it sooooo much !
- while adding blind your trash pack cleaning become really much safer
- i really wondered about life gain on hit, as most of the time we are close to full life blocking and evading a lot and with already leech life on passive tree (and stuff for me)
When I must go towards more survivability, the huge dps increase from added fire damage was just so good to pass through :)

I'm globally satisfied with this, but i still really miss the explosion of IB
i think my ideal personnal setup would just be with both skills (4 and 5L)

Cheers

Facebreaker is cheap in itself, but you must find +physdamage on rings and amulets. without them its no point. And if you can afford a meginord's girdle it helps also. For leveling its great, but at your level, ive got no idea if its worth the pain to get the rings etc...And its a slow attack, no more 8aps. Currently with multistrike i do 2.71aps.

The RNG was today with me.

Found this weapon


My damage increases from 4128 to 6916.

This build still makes a lot of fun !

I think the skill point in still better - you can use it to get 6% more max life (the node right next to "steady hands" on the way to bulwark)?

Well let's see... the level 70 build has 128% increased maximum life from life nodes....

If we have 40 more base life it's multiplied by that.....

Say we have 469 base life.

Say we have 350 life on gear.

So 469 + 350 + 40 = 859.

859 + (859 x 1.28) = 1959 life

vs.

If we add one more life node instead.... that would be 134%.... and we subtract the 40 life bonus....

819 + (819 x 1.34) = 1916 life

As you can see, the 40 base life option is better by 43 life in this example. The more life you have on gear, the better the life node choice would be, but unless you have a Kaom's, get Oak's reward.

We don't take static blows -- I pulled that out of the build months ago. :) If you run wrath on blood magic and with that weapon, it *might* be worth it, but I'm really not sure. I hear you have to do a *lot* of of lightning damage to shock consistently.

Oh ! big misunderstanding from my side !
i didn't understood reading the notable description that shock duration was linked to lightning damage amount ...
So yes with static blows you can shock but for a negligible duration ...

thanks for pointing that out !

this is well explain in this thread

That is a nice weapon -- over 300 DPS! :) Good candidate for Reave!
