Facebreaker Over-Nerfed?
"Because unarmed combat is not a major part of the game, it's a quirky build option that few people will use. "Brass knuckles maybe, claws definitely not. Claws are short hand-held blades - the major difference between them and daggers is in how you hold them. "No, we really don't. Claws are not just 'enhanced punches", they're sizable blades held in the hand that could be used to stab and slice - not words usually associated with eh noble art of fisticuffs. If you're using claws, you're pretty clearly armed. "Yes, it is fundamental to PoE that skills are slotted into items. The fact that you're giving up the weapon, and the slots that come with it, is a part of what makes an unarmed build different. Choosing to make an unarmed build is choosing to take the disadvantages that come with not having weapons for the potential damage bonuses, and fun, of doing this niche build. That's part of what makes the build special. Facebreaker is already balanced around giving you a 'fair' tradeoff for losing those slots. Last edited by Mark_GGG#0000 on Nov 25, 2012, 7:53:44 PM

We can punch if we want to,
We can leave your skills behind. 'Cause if your stats don't work Or your build's got a quirk Well they're No gloves of mine |

TTT
Would like to ask the dev for at least one cold attack possible with facebreaker. elemental hit is not very interesting to use at high level with facebreaker because of the randomness of the cold. Could we please have glacial hammer working with facebreaker? Also what about shiled charge? I mean with the new helm and the block chance for shield i was thinking to use facebreaker with it but i became quite disapointed i could not use the shield charge :( Forum pvp

Heh, it's funny this got bumped, I just got a pair of Facebreakers not long ago and my Duelist has really been enjoying them. They work well with Infernal Blow. I would agree it would be nice if there were more skills available to be used with unarmed attacks but it's nothing major.
I remember the first time I saw a BOTW Facebreaker and couldn't believe it. Then they nerfed Facebreaker and I thought I'd never use them. They are still really powerful as is, and I think with 0.11 right around the corner they will be even more powerful with the buffs to physical damage. Currently I'm doing like 3.3k dps (Lv 61) w/ Infernal Blow, mainly thanks to Meginords, and I realize that is probably really low. Now if only I could get my hands on Abyssus! |

I started to quite recently use facebreaker gloves and I enjoy them sooo much! First I met a man in game who uses them and it was so cool I decided to make a build arround them. Now I`m lvl61 and after a dissapointment about a shield charge,a great dissapointment actually I still like them and love them. I met suprisingly high number of other facebreaker users too, odd is however that almost all of us are stuck at 3rd act of merciless, that we all struggle because of low life and small diversity of attacks aviable, namely: only TWO!

Thread is old and should not have been bumped.
The build works very well, level 86 facebreaker. I have shown many people how to do the build and helped coach them up to doing rare maps easily. use cyclone no one is stuck, get good |

This thread is old, but still relevant.
I just started a lvl 67 Dominating Blow-breaker. Facebreaker ARE fun. And still efficient. There are for now 5 attack skills that can be used with unarmed facebreaker - Cyclone - Elemental Hit - Frenzy - Infernal Blow - Dominating blow This is quite enough to make your own FB build, and play with your "style". But... The only movements skills that can be used with unarmed are Cyclone, Lightning Warp and Smoke mine. I think there is a lack of a movement skill that can be used with FB, in order to create the Ninjonk (Ninja-monk !) that players asked in this thread. Either you can create a new movement skill, or allow shield charge to be used with unarmed :) I hope this post will be readed by GGG team. Forgive my english, and I want you to know this game has changed my gamer's life. Thx for beeing there :) Xoxoxo kiss kiss /loveGGGteam |
