[2.4] How to smash Heads. Extremely detailed guide about the Facebreaker gloves and builds!

Ok well that's the part of which i'm greatly concerned about this :
"16% increase radius of area skills"
IF you are using Cyclone this is unbelievably huge i just cannot stress enough on how important it is for cyclone.

I can't really comment on the 77 tree because it is ... a 77 tree ... i mean that's around level 60 ... and you get there in a day so it doesn't mean much for me ... i can do much more and give much more valuable thoughts and suggestions for the 110 tree ... care to post it? ^^

Well with these trees you actually loose a lot more than what you've listed.
For example:
the 4% reduced mana reservation is not there by a ... mistake ( as explained ) .. without it you can't run 2 60% auras and herald of ash.

Anyway let's check and the stats of my current proposed tree and your first proposed tree.

Mine:
% total increased Attack Speed : 22%
% total increased Melee Physical Damage : 206%
Unarmed range : +2
strength : 300
intelligence : 70
dexterity : 90
% increased Area Damage : 8%
% increased Effect of Buffs on You : 5%
% increased Radius of Area Skills : 16%
% reduced Mana Reserved : 4%
% additional Chance to Block with Shields : 24%
% total increased Armour : 134%
% increased Defences from equipped Shield : 340%
% total increased Evasion Rating : 48%
% increased maximum Life : 208%
% of Life Regenerated per Second : 7.4%
+ to maximum Life : +84
+% to all Elemental Resistances : 43%
+% to maximum Fire Resistance : 1%
+% to Fire Resistance : 8%
+% to Chaos Resistance : 20%
Ignore all Movement Penalties from Armour

Yours:
% total increased Attack Speed : 30% ( +8% )
% total increased Melee Physical Damage : 246% ( +40% )
Unarmed range : +2 ( the same )
strength : 320 ( +20 )
intelligence : 70 ( the same )
dexterity : 140 ( +50 )
% increased Area Damage : 8% ( the same )
% increased Effect of Buffs on You : 5% ( the same )
% increased Radius of Area Skills : 16% ( the same )
% reduced Mana Reserved : 4% ( -4% )
% additional Chance to Block with Shields : 25% ( +1% )
% total increased Armour : 134% ( the same )
% increased Defences from equipped Shield : 290% ( -50% )
% total increased Evasion Rating : 48% ( the same )
% increased maximum Life : 194% ( -14% )
% of Life Regenerated per Second : 7.4% ( the same )
+ to maximum Life : +84 ( the same )
+% to all Elemental Resistances : 43% ( the same )
+% to maximum Fire Resistance : 1% ( the same )
+% to Fire Resistance : 8% ( the same )
+% to Chaos Resistance : 12% ( -8% )
Ignore all Movement Penalties from Armour ( the same )

Now i'll go ahead and fix the missing 4% reduced mana by sacrificing 4% life, 3% all res and 0.8% life regen .. because .. without it you loose a lot


So lets sum it up.
With the tree that goes in the ranger are you gain
+8% increased Attack Speed
+40% increased Melee Physical Damage
+1% block chance

and you lose:
-18% increased maximum life
-3% to all Elemental Resistances
-0.8% life regeneration
-8% to Chaos Resistance
-50% increased Defences from equipped Shield

So the differences are not that huge. You gain a bit more damage with the newly proposed tree but you are loosing a bit of your defenses. Personally ... i wouldn't want to sacrifice those defenses but it is a viable option no doubt about that.

In high levels what you really need is more defenses you literally can't have enough defenses ... on the other hand another 3-4k on top of your existing 40-45k DPS doesn't really make a difference ^^
Anyway nice talking to you too i always enjoy people who thing outside of the box and in many cases that lad to some improvements in this build :)

If you are planing to continue using Cyclone - go for a Carcass Jack as tomspl suggested.
If you are planing to start using Infernal Blow, Dominating Blow or Frenzy - go for a rare astral or Belly of the beast or Daresso's Defiance.
