To the OP, i've got a question.

I've got a hard time deciding between using a 2H or facebreakers for Infernal blow.

Can you shed some light on what are the pros and cons of using Facebreakers over a 2H?

Thanks in advance and thanks for this guide. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Ok so here are the pros. and cons. of the Facebreakers as i see them:
Facebreakres
Pros.
1. Using a shield - Having a shield is a huge advantage. High block chance makes you increadably tanky. Block chance applies to reflected damage aswell. Not to mention the great armour and life boost from the shield.
2. Unnarmed attacks - The fact that you don't need a weapon is great because you can spend all your passive skill points into defensive nodes, making yourself the ultimate tank without sacrificing offense. Besides you won't spend any currency on a good weapon.
3. Damage - Using Facebreakers and relatively good rings and amulet will give you alot of damage. Such amounts of DPS are hard to get if you don't have a really good 2h weapon.
4. Leveling - since the level requirements for the Facebreakers and the meginord's girlde are very low leveling up a character is like a walk in the park. At level 16 you'll have around 1000 DPS just by using these two items! I've leveled up and tested many different builds but by far the facebreakers + Infernal blow offers the highest DPS at that level.

Cons.
1. Legacy Facebreakers - After the 1.0.0 the Facebreakers have only 600%-800% more unnarmed physical damage( it sed to be 800%-1000%). So now it's easier to get the same amounts of damage with a 2h(since they were buffed) unless you have good legacy facebreakers.
2. Damage - In theory you can deal alot more damage with a 2 handed weapon, but you'll have to sacrifice defensive for offensive passive skills and you'll need an insane weapon.
