The Ultimate Melee DPS/TANK [FACEBREAKER ONSLAUGHT GUIDE]

Hey there!
I already mentioned that! xD

I went the life route because increasing the leech cap was my response to the hp nerf a while back. Since I don't use Bringer, I actually have 150 or so less HP base.

This is how you save the point.

I'll just say that the crit damage nodes are personal choice, I do have them myself, but if I had enough spare to take the armour nodes in Marauder, I would spec out of them to 'save' myself a point.

Edit: Now in regards to how I personally view survivability - I prioritise HP over block and some other nodes like the lower armour ones, this is because I want to increase my leech cap.


Save a Point?

Actually by doing that I wouldn't be able to run Grace or Haste, so that would in fact not be "very optimised" at all. ;-)

Yeah ok, I missed that part. :-)

I don't follow. Are you only just meeting strength requirements? Because that seems highly unlikely. All I did was move two strength points from below the aura reservation and take another one strength point to connect it again.

In the build you linked you did not select the +30 DEX node.

In fact the only thing you actually changed was taking one additional INT node and sacrifice one STR node. Which is a huge fail for this build since INT is useless if you reach the gem requirements.

With that in mind the "very unoptimized" remark that you so kindly posted on the first page is not only insulting it's actually entirely wrong.

That's not even the build I use lol. :-)
Well there we go, a whole discussion about nothing. xD
Also, just wondering, but have you noticed any Cyclone lag recently? Like where you Cyclone over a pack and they die after you have passed through with maybe a second of delay?

I'd would be interesting to know the gems in the helm/boots, couldnt catch them all on the video.

Also, how do you do when you face lightning thorns ?

edit : since i'm trying again after a few months break, any idea on those uniques price ?


Hello Samord!

That's not actually quite right - you have made some errors near the duelist area when choosing the Points. If you take Another look at the video you will see that I take the dexterity node below. :-)

Lightning thorns is harmless unless applied by the Level 69 Promenade Map boss - this is easly avoidable by slaying the Boss before she applies Lightning Thorns on her fellow monster friends though.


If we're talking Onslaught prices I Think:

Facebreaker ~ 2-5 Chaos
Meginords ~ 8-12 Chaos
Bringer of Rain ~ 90-120 Chaos
Lioneye's Remorse ~ 15-20 Chaos

I recently started streaming so I haven't actually thought much about that. But something that I have noticed is that I tend to get stuck in monsters more often - ending up using alot of Cyclone standing still and lose Life because of that.

As far as the lagg is concerned in terms of delays I actually don't experience much of that unless my GF is looking through bloggs with alot of pictures... :p
