Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone has asked this question but can you explain the differences between this guide and the other facebreaker guide of your's? Is CI the only difference? And which one do you think is better? Thanks. |

@Pjey
Ha ! People talking about my build! Cool :) @iambochen Well being a CI changes the build ALOT! You can have blood rage + ghost reaver + vaal pact which means tons of survivability. You can stack alot more ES than Life. YOu can use Aegis Aurora and have cool ES per block You can use Rainbowstrides for spell block You don't have to worry about life regen You don't have to worry about chaos damage You can use Melee damage on full life instead of Added fire damage! Having 50-50 phys-fire is better than having more fire . More fire means less life/mana leech, it mean practicly less damage beacuse there are alot of fire res monsters, you suffer alot more from elemental reflect Another cool part is that you have the Mind Drinker node so you don't need mana leech on your gear, and you have blood rage so you don't need to have life leech on your gear. In the end this build is just better! Slightly more offense. Alot more defense. The problems are this build is more expensive it is harder to level it up to level 62 it is more gear dependant making it unplayable for a new player with no items/currency You can't use Dominating Blow .. which in my opinion is inferior to Infernal Blow but it's still a very cool and fun attack @AntonChigur You don't see some very important things about the PvP build :) I'll send you a privite massage later today with all the details and my thoughts on the build( i promise :) ) I'll keep the details of the build a secret from now on. Once i perfect it i'll make a guide :P That way i'll stimulate others ( and myself ) to try and make new builds instead of sitting on just one viable "secret" build.

" mmhh honestly thats shooting for the very basics and some very low prices on some stuff ( abyssus even shitty 50% ones cost 2ex unlinked/socketed, a 40-41% one is more like 4-6+ for example) proper 900+ breakers are getting really exepnsive too. also imho unless your chest and/or jewelry totally rocks legacy rainbows are imho strongly recommended. and since this build is pretty much all about great scaling and endgame i wouldnt recommend it if you cant afford proper gear,gems and atleast a 5l. sure you COULD run with a 4l chest, crappy breakers,abyssus,gems,jewelry etc but then again for the same money you can go other builds that will run way more efficient at that budget. if you got the dough tho this build really shines at high levels and with proper gear without going crazy expensive like some others. ign: Lucador / Zashah Last edited by Xobeh on Dec 19, 2013, 2:35:21 PM

" Nice shield, I could need something like that. I started to craft some of this kind for later when I go CI, not much luck so far but at least more ES than the Crest Shield. Cheaper than an Aegis Aurora anyways. Before going CI I guess I need much more ES, it seems to melt much faster than life (is 1ES= 1 life?) I just tested it and had some mean one-shots from evil act 2 mobs, the great white beast hits like a truck! And a Rare Devourer in the forests is not much better. For a little Witch at least. Of course this was a "dry test" without CI, Vaal Pact and without Ghost Reaver of course. Normal life leech seems to be really to slow to tank these guys, I hope with Vaal Pact it will get better, even with not tat much Energy Shield right now (~1300 with Discipline). However, I guess even instant leech does not help if mobs can oneshot you, it's PoE. :D Last edited by Fusion_Power on Dec 19, 2013, 3:02:04 PM

" THIS! @Fusion_Power 1 life = 1 ES indeed VP+GR+CI is pretty awesome combo you'll see :) don't forget that when you go there you'll also get the ES nodes behide the CI so you'll have slightly more ES ;) btw the shield wasn't that cheap too :) 6 ex i think ? or 5 maybe.. can't remember now "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!!

Well, I'm happy when I can spare 3 passives to get the big nodes. :D I already have taken the 2 ES nodes near the Witch start 6%+18% and the lonely 12% node near the CI cluster. Better have some ES before choosing CI. I guess I will use the Shield block nodes later, ES seems more important at the moment with my build. At least as long as I have the 40% block shield. :D
You hav buyed this shield? Oh, I always think that people only buy Uniquer Items. I personaly throw such stuff to the vendor, selffound in the past you know XD. I better don't want to know what treasuers I already have trashed to the NPCs. But stash is full and I'm to lazy to trade, seriously, it takes ages, the Unique Belt and the Unique Boots were enough for my nerves already. ^^" Last edited by Fusion_Power on Dec 19, 2013, 3:47:34 PM

For anyone curious about the potential damage output you can expect with maxed out gear in domination/nemesis
This is my domination witch
Spoiler
*Note that this is with 3 frenzy charges and the 8% AS bonus from Kraityn in cruel difficulty. I chose the 8% attack speed because it gives a slightly higher DPS bonus (~1.8k) than the 18% physical damage reward and adds a bit of survivability due to the faster multistrike. Gear
Spoiler
The 6 link chest is obviously the hardest piece of gear to get, without the last link DPS is 54% lower. Major thanks to KorgothBG, the creator of this awesome build IGN: HarroHarbinger Last edited by Catharsis on Dec 19, 2013, 5:31:08 PM
