What is the best class for Facebreaker build?

Class only changes your quest rewards and where you start in the tree in this game.

But seriously though, should I focus on Block% with a shield or Evasion%? This would play a big role in which class to choose.

That being said, if going EV the start for ranger is pretty damn good, and my EV FB Ranger kicks ass.

How did you start as Ranger? The one-handed weapon nodes don't benefit Facebreaker. Did you escape the Ranger tree very early and start working your way towards RT?

I'd use the link in my EV ranger build, but its out of date and haven't updated it.

Essentially the melee physical dmg nodes do benefit FB, so you grab them, or the ev. I grabbed both as I respecced later.

But its pretty simple, you rush around the outside of the tree to RT, with stops at the 18% health node, the 1.5% regen under duelist, depending on preference I also went through the leather and steel nodes and grabbed the +2 melee range node, then up past blood magic, and up the side closet to mara tree, grabbing the Rt finally around level 40-50

Main points were Ondars Guile, 18% Health node (can't remember name, divine toughness?), golem/troll blood (can't remember which name), leather and steel, +2 melee weapons, BM (I was using Bm gem so I skipped this), RT.

And filling in the 'required' things in the meantime, additional HP nodes, the resistances nodes if needed, the aspd beserker node is nice, and then after that its expanding to the templar health pool, the acrobatics cluster, and cause I use blood rage also grabbing the frenzy charges (use the % regen boots so I get huge hp regen)

Oh okay, I see how you specced the beginning now. I thought you planned to get shield nodes and go past Finesse to get them, but those nodes would be useless for Facebreaker. Do you think you'll ever receive big enough hits to kill you? I started as Marauder and went down to IR, as I still opt for armour rather than evasion.

TBH my build is rather weak atm cause my +phys gear doesn't have requisite life. I can't get 1shot, but I can't take kole as he 2shots me too quickly for my life leech. Admittedly if I ran LGoH I might be able to tank him.

Also to note I run teh BM gem and have purity+haste+Hatred on my mana, so the purity really boosts my resistances which are severly low due to unique requirements.

And I don't have the requisite helm at this point, so I am only hitting 12k dps with my IB.



I don't use a shield, I use an almost perfect rolled heavy physical quiver, with the highest physical roll, and (what was) a near max life roll (I think rolls are higher now), but it is lacking some resistance sadly.
