Hi, I'm a newb at skilltrees and was wondering if I could get your opinion on this face breaker infernal blow build for 1.3.

Well it looks ok, i have a couple of concerns tho.
1st - i really don't think that the Soul and Steel circle is worth the 4 passive skill points invested in it 2st - the taken root ( on the bottom left ) seems inefficient to me 3th - i don't think that celestial punishment is worth the 4 points invested in it. The elemental damage nodes will increase only part of your damage and i don't see how the 30% increased damage vs frozen/chilled/ignited damage has any usefulness .. you can ignite monsters only with Herald of Ash but usually there is nothing left to ignite, or if there is it dies quickly afterwards.

Concerning the two new reactive gems, what would be the best use in our facebreaker builds ?
" What gems setup would be optimal ? And also, is this gem could be useful ? " Help me complete my unique collection: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/335591 IGN: CGT_FR Last edited by Borow on Dec 11, 2014, 11:44:28 AM

" There is no guarantee those skills will be available for facebreakers. If shield charge and leap slam don't work i doubt these new ones will either. | |
|
Note that the description says nothing about using weapons, so it should be available ;)
For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff | |

I really doubt that it would be available for unarmed ... Rory already said that there are no unarmed skills in 1.3 ... but will see ... i'm still not sure about how they will work ... will they freeze you in one place ? Override your cycloning? it's early to say ... we'll know for sure soon tho :)
About the support gem ... from what i understand it will be a simple damage conversion ... so i doubt that it will be useful for a FB build ... after all physical damage > lightning damage in this case.

" I doubt that Vengeance or Reckoning will be at all helpful, even if it does work for unarmed. For starters, where are you going to slot that gem and support it? With a Bringer of Rain setup (which I suspect will dominate Facebreaker builds with the block nerf), you're already down 9 gem slots (6 from your chest, 3 from weapon). That leaves you with: Head Slot: 4 Link - This is your Main Attack skill with a Bringer of Rain setup. Shield: 3 Link - Utility Links Gloves: 4 Link. - Aura or CWDT + Immortal Call + Supports Boots: 4 Link - Aura or CWDT + Immortal Call + Supports You can give up your utility links in the shield, but a 3 link attack skill is going to be pretty much pointless. If you're running Abyssus, then you gain a 4 Link in your Head Slot (assuming your primary attack skill is in your chest slot). It might work okay there, but I'm doubtful a 4 link reactive attack will be worth giving up, say, a Level 20 CWDT + Immortal Call setup. Especially with lowered block.

Regarding BoR. I'm considering to start using legacy BoR instead of my Abyssus + 6L Carcass Jack.
With the abyssus i'll have A LOT more damage .. especially now with all the extra damage from the 1.3 tree, and i'll have bigger AoE radius, and i'll probably save 1 passive skill point ( due to the resistances of the chest ) On the other hand with BoR i'll have more block , i won't take extra damage from physical damage and i'll have more life. Now i guess the first question is do i need the really big DPS boost that Abyssus provides? The answer is most likely "no" ... the second question is - do i really want that extra DPS? The answer is most likely "yes"! I guess i'll have to test both options to see ... Any thoughts? EDIT: at the moment my cyclone DPS is: With legacy BoR - 29409 With Abyssus + 6L Carcass Jack - 43337 with the 1.3 skill tree i can expect around 20% damage increase so .. around 34-35k DPS with BoR and around 52k With Abyssus .. the difference is big .

I did the math on my Infernal Blow build. I am currently using a Level 20 Hatred aura. All gems (IB, Multistrike, Added Fire, Faster Attacks, Melee Physical Damage, and Melee Splash) are at 20/20.
I am also using a Legacy Bringer of Rain, as that's what I have. I expect the difference to be even larger in new leagues and/or if you don't have a legacy Bringer of Rain. I am also getting a total of 26-52 Added Physical damage from my two rings and amulet. Meginord's is assumed for all builds. Current DPS Abyssus: 50,838.1 DPS Bringer of Rain: 34,525.9 DPS Difference: 15,276.9 DPS Impact of a 10% Increased Physical Damage Node. Abyssus: 1,035.3 DPS Bringer of Rain: 736.1 DPS Number of additional 10% Increased Physical Damage nodes needed to bring BoR up to Abyssus Levels: 15276.9 / 736.1 = 20.8. Conclusion: You will need approximately 208% additional Increased Physical Damage nodes from the tree (that's in addition to however much you get in the tree now) to bring a Bringer of Rain build's DPS up to the level of the Abyssus. Now, we're definitely getting A LOT more DPS in the tree, especially for the Duelists out there. But I think it will be very hard to hit pre-1.3 levels of Abyssus Facebreaker DPS using a BoR setup. It'll be tough to really come close, even. *EDIT* Minor edits to clarify what gear I am using. I've put a lot of my Standard currency into this build. The raw numbers will drop, but the percentages should remain similar for non-legacy builds. My Builds: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1739942 - Flee the Fire!
