Facebreaker needs some love

No, this is not Facebreaker needs a buff but rather some quality of life changes.

1) Is is technically possible for GGG to make weapon effects (microtransactions) apply to facebreaker? Imagine how awesome it would be to have glowing hands while punching things to death.

2) Facebreaker needs to have a more distinguishing look (maybe slightly bigger sized gauntlets)

3) Facebreaker + Leap Slam should be an option. How epic would that be to leap in the air and punch the ground.

Hopefully a dev can comment on whether or not facebreakers are even being considered for some enhancements.

Good suggestions, I'm positive that number 2, bigger/better item model will be done. The art team will make all uniques look different eventually.

true was thinking of doing a facebreaker build but then again it has very limited skills.. no movement skill like leap slam or flicker strike = no good.

I really like the idea of a Leap Slam Facebreaker build, and more cosmetic microtransactions is always good.

Definitely a big yes. Ive started playing a Facebreaker and I'm 71 now. Single target damage is good (but teh range is too small i often miss to hit moving targets even with RT) but the lack of aoe skills due to not giving skill diversity makes this build kind of weak compared to other builds.

And yeah, glowing fists would be awesome. Well uniques should have a uniques skin/look by default. Dont know why GGG havent doen that.

Really like the ideas proposed.
I also think that the unique will get its own art someday.
Currently they have way to less resources to do that.

The lack of AoE in Facebreaker melee is kind of boring.
One has always to get around with traps or converting in stressful AoE situations.

+1

Glad to see a lot of like-minded players. Hopefully if there's enough attention to this, we can remind the devs that facebreakers could be made more awesome and that there are still players using it.

I bet a facebreaker cosemtic is already on the list to do. If not, it should be.

I agreed with the aesthetic changes but the leap slam change would be game changing. I almost feel like it would make the build broken. I'd be happy if I could leap slam and it did no damage. The only reason i want it is to gap close.
