Punching my way through the game (facebreaker feedback)

I do wish there was a support that turn any non aoe skill into an aoe, but that would be incredibly OP especially with Facebreaker.

That'd be called "Multiple Projectiles" for the ranged (and some magic) skills. :P

anubite, I did try melee ES on my templar in the HC resist league and it just doesn't work great. Status effects and stuns just eat you.

Here's my setup currently trying something different than yours FireBreaker for items i'm currently using what i'm working torwards Higher level FireBreaker this obviously is far from complete

ES Facebreaker works fine. Just take unwavering stance. You won't have much evasion due to stacking ES anyway so losing 5% eva chance is no big deal. You can then wear the unique boots to not be frozen. Burn/shock is no problem, frozen is the only annoying thing.

I made an ES Facebreaker who's aim is to instantly heal ES via Vaal Pact+Ghost Reaver. (Vaal Pact makes much more sense with ES due to all the synergy). Frenzy is my main skill and with 6 frenzy charges I do about 2.7 hits per second, about 9k dps. It'll go to 3 hits once I get better ias passives/gear. I can instantly leech about 1k ES per second with only 3.7k ES currently. With better gear this could go up to 2-2.5k ES instantly leeched per sec. Aside from life leech I have enough mp leech to not need mp pots. So all defense comes from flasks.

So far it works pretty well. Nothing can stop me from getting punches in and healing my ES. With granite flasks I can tank 30+ mobs and come out on top with full ES. Elemental reflect and physical reflects are no problem with a belt full of granite and resist flasks.

Necroing this to ask if the new melee splash gem + concentrated effect is worth incorporating?
