Facebreaker Gloves Melee Weapon Passives?
|
since they aren't using a weapon to gain this effect does that then mean that the one hand melee weapon passives are therefore useless because they don't have a "weapon" on it or is the fist consider a weapon?
if so this is a major decrease in the items potential... So many build ideas... no time....

Only melee physical damage effects them. You can use elemental hit and frenzy. It won't be an easy build. I've tried it. You melt faces at 16, but by act 2 boss I was running into some trouble (though I was a Shadow, so it was mainly survivability issues).

The mere existence of this item indicates to me that GGG is likely reconsidering how unarmed combat is calculated.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

i know dual fist can't be done but you an use a shield, like the unigue's which do spell block and the 48% one, and still be considered "unarmed."
also was thinking of going marauder with blood magic for that build. BTW willing to buy those gloves... :D So many build ideas... no time....

also are fists considered weapons? like would % increase to elemental damage with weapons count?

I'm pretty sure the game doesn't consider fists weapons, though I do not know if +elemental damage with weapons /really/ means weapons. I have a feeling it only means "attacks that are not spells" such as Fireball and not Elemental Hit or your basic auto-attack. Though I could be wrong.

Elemental damage with weapons (and just "weapon damage") does apply to unarmed attacks.
Your fists are weapons (they're used for attacks), but are not one-handed weapons, nor two-handed weapons, and do not count as dual-wielding (which requires having two one-handed weapons). Fists do count as melee weapons. |
