[2.1] Flaskman! - 350k+ DPS Flask Crit Facebreaker Infernal Blow! [Atziri Viable, 2:30 Gorge Run]

What is the damage threshold required to instantly melt a generic blue/white pack in T10-t11 map? I would assume around 60-80k paper dps? Is it possible to reach this threshold without great old one's?

Main reason is because I'd like to fit in some fun uniques into the build including lightning coil but this would be so hard to do without resists from shield.

With survive managed properly this build will finally be the competitive non cyclone/reave melee build the game has desperately needed.

Also, looks like Mathil is trying out crit facebreakers:

Yeah, the proximity shields really did a number on me, you could almost think the build was ranged. :D

I saw that Mathil tried the build out too, but he's doing a version with no flask nodes.

There was that one random mob at around 1:05 that nearly 1-shot you or you nearly 1-shot yourself hitting, actually made me jump a little lol

Yeah it's weird he's not using flask nodes or The Retch, he's got all the flasks it seems.

nice build. what do u think of lightening coil with this? I always thought lighting coil compliments abyssus really well, Also whats the reason for that particular shield over others? just curious

Thanks!

The Great Old One's shield is used primarily because it's a massive damage increase for Facebreaker builds. The Phys damage on it is great, plus it has that nice attack speed buff. Add the life roll and the Spell Block, and you have a shield that I'd almost consider Best in Slot.

However, if I had a 6L Lightning Coil, I'd DEFINITELY use it over a Rare armor - the only problem is that you have to sacrifice your shield slot to get the resists for it. So you're sacrificing damage for a lot more survivability. If that's what you want, then by all means go for it, as you'll probably still oneshot packs!

There is absolute no room to draw resistance from other gears at all instead of sacrificing shield slot? any room for lightning perhaps? I think it would make it really nice if that adjustment can be made. What do u think is like the ultimate best choice for chest if currency allows?

There is room for sure.

I used to run Atziri's Step unique boots and Daresso's Defiance along with a rare resist+life+phys damage shield and had capped resists. Also, a thing to keep in mind is you don't really NEED to have your resists capped, since you have flasks up all teh time anyway, and they give you a TON of resists!

The ultimate choice... I think a 6L Lightning Coil simply due the massive mitigation you gain. If you can fit it in, you'll lose a bit of damage from the shield, but you'll be seriously tanky.

You can easily reach 200k+ dps by replacing the Great Old One's with a rare shield with resists, life, and a 4-7 Phys damage mod mastercrafted on it. This means you can pretty easily get the resists needed to run a Lightning coil (from your Boots, Shield and Rings), and until you can, you can just rely on your flasks to give you the resists.

We rely on the flasks being up 100% on the time, so you could, in theory, be 50% undercapped on resistance. Thing is, there's always situations where you get surprised without your flasks up, so I'd still aim for 75% on all three elemental resists without flasks.

Yeah, that was reflect without flasks on I think? Will check later - goes to show how much the flasks mitigate the damage.

I've talked to him a bit, he says he wants to do his own thing, plus he doesn't want to rely on the flasks too much.

Added a Palace Tier 14 map clear with me facetanking Dominus and killing him deathless.

You have to keep your flasks up, especially Taste of Hate and Vinktar, if you have it, since Vinktar will convert 20% of your Phys to Lightning damage.

What are your IB links?

forify melee phys multistrike aoe melee splash, and yea i got all the flasks but not using atziris promise since otherwise i will oneshot myself on regular ele reflect packs :O

well fuck i now realized ther are 2 versions of vessel of vinktar and i got the wrong one ofc thats why i cant do phys reflect maps :(
