Facebreaker Nerf
|
Are Facebreakers getting nerfed? Streamers are talking about it, just wondering since i'm already 60+ levels into a FB character.

Not right now, but they intend to, yes.
Quote from Chris: " Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1ip4iv/melbourne_meet_greet_a_prophecy_was_written/ -------------- I haven't done the math, but I am suspecting that currently facebreaker + shield combo is too powerful compared to regular 1-hand+shield combination. That would be my guess, but it would be great if more knowledgeble players could elaborate the comparison between those two options. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

its not a sure thing but we know they will get changed in the future from some of the guys in the fan meetup at Melbourne .Anyway i wouldnt worry at all , i dont think it will be nerfed too much and probably it will have some changes for the early levels as the dmg is too big there and we dont really know when its gonna be changed. It might be next week next month or next year.
Game? Who needs to play the game? Forums are funny enough

Facebreaker already has a couple of drawbacks by not having anything in the weapon slot, and you cannot get res/life or anything else since it is occupying the glove spot. You also need to rely on flat phy dmg afix to make Facebreaker really effective. Stacking more % nodes does not really do much unless you have flat phy dmg.
The reason why facebreaker is powerful early on is because of the flat phy dmg. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Última edição por JohnNamikaze#6516 em 21 de jul. de 2013 15:21:10

Maybe a facebreaker nerf implies that the rework of the passive tree's center may actually include flat physical damage in the future? As it is now they can't really put it on the tree.

" If you were forced to go 1-hand weapon + shield, around how much dps would you lose in order to maintain the same tankiness as your facebreaker build? It doesn't have to be exact numbers, but I am interested in any number XD. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

" Thanks for the link to the Melbourne Meet & Greet info. Me to Chris, I love to see Kripp's latest high level HC character die. I'm catching up on all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad. Hey Chris, in addition to blue fire traps can we get mercury fulminate rocks to throw at the mobs that are disguised as blue crystal meth? "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

I didn't hear about this until now. Too bad. I'm having more fun with my facebreaker character than I did with my cleaver and RoA ranger. At level 80 now and hoping it's not nerfed too much. I have 17k DPS with melee splash and 24k dps single target (added fire replacing melee splash) but since I have to get so close to do any damage it's not completely faceroll. The risk and required presence of mind are probably what makes it the most fun.

" If you are going to aim for using 1H wep (you can get a really good one at half the price of soul taker), and if you are going for 6L, you might as well go BoR. Of course, you will end up losing res because you cannot wear chest armor, but you can make up for it with a glove and a shield having life and res. Facebreaker with BoR, you already have two gear slots gone, and the glove slot for FB itself. That is already three slots gone with the potential of having more life/res and even attack speed. You have to start being creative with how you can make up those deficiency. You can easily get phy dmg affix in rings and amulets, but can you get life and res as well without any difficulty under a tight budget of less than 1 exalted. Also, you would have to brainstorm more on what to do with the passive tree. Will you sacrifice armor nodes to get more res. You can straight up go life nodes, but eh, what is the fun in that. Pretty much, going FB and BoR means you need to get Meginord's Girdle, and again you will lose out a bit in HP and res. If you do not build around FB and BoR correctly, you will end up shooting yourself in the foot. I made my FB + BoR interesting by adding Blood Dance to my build. I end up sacrificing life nodes for frenzy charges. I also end up sacrificing life and res from the boot on top of that. What is keeping me alive, is that I need to hit all the time, and have up all my frenzy charges (7) and endurance charges (5) all the time. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Última edição por JohnNamikaze#6516 em 21 de jul. de 2013 16:18:57
