You come across the reduced mana reservation passives at the marauder section. Why not pick them up?

With those (total of -10% mana reserved) and a maxed mana reduction gem, you can run Hatred (30% cost) AND 3 of the following: purity/haste/determination/vitality/tempest shield.

Since you use blood magic gem, mana isnt needed anyway. So you can add something like determination (+50% armor aura) or vitality (regen aura - aoe heal for minions?) for 'only' 3 passive points. Should greatly help your minions to stay alive for their maximum duration.



Also, especially towards Hatred/Added fire, funny things start happening to your damage setup when you have both equipped. Imagine the following:
Hatred - up to 25% of damage added as cold.
Added fire - up to (max quality assumed) 54% of damage added as fire.

You are looking at up to 79% of physical damage added as elemental damage - excluding whatever wrath/anger/gear adds for elemental damage.

Say you deal 100 physical damage per second with say 1.41 attacks per second (1 base, +41% from selected passives).
Physical melee damage is +59% (lvl20/qual 20 melee physical damage gem) => +59 dps.
Elemental damage is 79% of 100, so 79 elemental damage (cold and fire based). +90% (lvl20/qual 20 WED gem) => +71 dps.
Faster attacks is +54% (lvl20/qual 20).. well, the attack is 1/second, as you gain already gain +41% from passives and Haste , this becomes 1.41. Adding the gem makes it 1.95 attacks per second, so dps wise you 'only' gain 38 dps.

Reason that faster attacks behaves differently, is that physical melee damage gem is 'more' type and as you dont have Elemental Damage sources, WED acts in a very similar fashion.


So.. perhaps you should consider playing arround with elemental damage a bit, see how things affect eachother. May very well be that, due to synergies with things you already picked, faster attacks and going unarmed isnt the best option for your build down the line. Quite possibly, a faster 1.2-1.35 weapon (note: also gives 3 more gem slots!) will net a bigger gain in damage and speed than expected.

What do you mean exactly ? What kind of buggs ?

As i said, cant find back the GGG post. Believe one of them recently said, +physical damage from sources like rings doesnt benefit from all +physical% increases. Would explain the 'issue' with calcuation vs actual you guys got.

What is everyone's average DPS with facebreaker mitts

i have +phys damage rings, no meginords yet

but my damage on dominating blow buffed is like 600.00

i changed from a 6000 damage ground slam build, and am a bit disappointed

Is this normal damage with the facebreakers?

lv73

My last build was doing 12,000 damage on heavy strike, so my gear is good

my Dominating blow is only lv 1 - which is probabaly a factor just switching over

and i still have my neck + belt to add + phys damage
