Facebreaker and Ethereal Knives

Facebreaker boosts unarmed physical damage. Ethereal Knives deals massive physical (spell) damage. Does Facebreaker boost EK's phys dmg?

If so, what would be the best means to get it to proc? I'm guessing a cyclone build with cast on melee kill or something with cast on stun, as cast on crit won't work without a weapon that gives crit percent, right?

no, facebreaker boosts unarmed attacks, EK is a spell

with these skills you can currently currently attack unarmed

Dominating Blow
Infernal Blow
Cyclone
Elemental Hit

Read what I said again. I'm not casting EK. I'm putting it on a trigger gem, and will be using an attack such as Cyclone to trigger it.

It would make absolutely no sense if it didn't boost EK's damage, based on Facebreaker's tool description:

"xxx% more unarmed physical damage"

Does it specify where that physical damage must be coming from? No. It only specifies that you must be unarmed.

there is no such mechanic as unarmed spell cast in this game, same as there is no spell with bows

is the description on facebreakers confusing if you haven't looked into it, yes

does facebreakers xxx%more physical damage work with EK, NO! it will only affect attacks made when not wearing a weapon, same as %increased physical damage with 1 hand weapons

What you want is "xxx% more physical damage while unarmed", see serpent stance staff cluster.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
