[1.0.1] Frenzy Block Facebreaker Duelist/Ranger by Sycho

Sycho's Frenzy Facebreaker Build.

Hi everyone, this is my Frenzy Facebreaker Duelist/Ranger build guide.
I originally discovered the strengths of a facebreaker build during the start of the onslaught league when I found a pair on the first day that rolled 998% (facebreakers back then could roll 800-1000%). I used these leveling up my first account, which was a duelist, using infernal blow, but eventually died to elemental reflect at level 71. That is how pretty much every infernal blow facebreaker build dies. But now, with frenzy, you don't have to worry about elemental reflect at all!

So lets get to the build

Duelist:


Ranger:


Both builds each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
But they don't differ by much, its only preference.

Leveling guide

As you level up you can use whatever you want. I used infernal blow until around level 55-ish where I switched from it to Frenzy with melee splash.

Bandits are:
1. Help Oak - HP
2. Help Oak - Physical Damage
3. Help Kraityn - +1 to Maximum Frenzy Charge


Duelist


Ranger


The strengths and weaknesses of the facebreaker block build.

Strengths:
You punch things in the face.
You do an absurd amount of damage.
You are extremely tanky.
- Large life pool
- +20% Chance to block
- Getting life leech on gear as the Duelist and the Blood Drinker passive as ranger gives
you insane survivability cause you are leeching everything you're punching.

Weaknesses:
Facebreakers aren't weak!
No but in all seriousness, the only weakness to this build is you are in melee range of mobs. That's it!

Gearing!

This was the gear of my lvl 80 Ranger facebreaker "Vi" that I unfortunately and stupidly died on. I didn't die because this build is weak, I died because of my own stupidity. It was a lvl 71 map, and there was a Volatile Flameblood Zombie, which already does a ton of damage because the explosion scales off how hard the monster hits, and zombies hit hard but slow, it had an extra damage mod (cold I think) and the map rolled "Monsters deal an additional 95% damage as cold damage" or something like that. When it exploded it one hit me from 4850 HP with 80% to all resists. It was dumb. But anyway. This was my gear.



The two core components to this build are Facebreaker's, obviously, and Meginord's heavy belt. That's all you'll need to make this work. Bringer of Rain is a late game item if you have the money for it.
The only damage facebreaker's scale with is #Adds x-x physical damage and %Increase to melee physical damage. That's why you see the only damage nodes we take in the tree are %increase to melee physical damage or just %Increased physical damage.
On your rings and amulet you want Adds X-X Physical damage, along with life and resists.
On your shield you just want as much life and resists as possible.

Gems!


Well that pretty much does it for the guide. I'll be adding to and updating this as I level up. Currently at level 79 on my Duelist Facebreaker in the Nemesis League.
I hope you enjoyed! If you want to come see my build in action/hangout, come stop by my twitch channel sycho_hc
Have a good one guys! And keep on breaking faces! :D

Saw your build on your stream the other day, looks very strong and fun to play, definitely i'll try it when i die with my char.

Trying this build and atm running it with blood rage and blood dance boots(no BoR yet). Atm 65 lvl and everything is so easy with very high regen with life leech and strong damage. Just wondering would blood dances be viable on maps with this build, since u are basicly trading possible life/resist/armor/evasion from boots for 7%life regen.

Anyone have any experience with blood dances with 7 charges on maps?

How much a facebreaker worth? Let's say, some with 770%+
