RANGER FACEBREAKER - CRIT

Here's a quick vid with non-legacy gear.

Using 682% Facebreakers instead of my 999%, 136% crit multi Abyssus instead of my 224%, and non-legacy Megi. DPS is close to 600k.

Hope you can see the difference crit makes when I don't use my Diamond flask:

T13 Plaza w/ Non-Legacy: https://youtu.be/4br0NA73Z5M

Added new T16 video Forge of the Phoenix - boss killed in 10 seconds xD. This boss has such high health it is ridiculous, and since it is hard to recharge flasks with this boss I decided to output as much DPS as I could with a goal of killing him in less than 10 seconds before my flasks and Vaal Grace ran out.

This version I run with is specc'd Onslaught path instead of the Phasing path. This gave me a big damage increase. I then dropped Quartz flask to run with Silver flask with Chemist and Grounding mod (so I could use VoV).



This gives superb defense against attacks, but spells will give trouble unless you have Vaal Grace up.

I realized having both Quartz flask and Vaal Grace is a bit redundant since you are at max dodges with either of them. So as long as you are not having trouble with spells from regular mobs then Avatar of Chase with Avatar of Slaughter is a potent combo.

Swapped PCOC for single target for more consistent crits since I was going to run out of power charges by the time I started boss.

More vids, hope you guys enjoy:

T16 Lair of the Hydra: https://youtu.be/5jSDW4uniNs

T16 Pit of the Chimera: https://youtu.be/r7S7c1461QI

For the Chimera fight - it almost has the same feel as Daresso fight and very hard for EV melee build. I even swapped my Lion's Roar for Rumi's extra block and still died to the snake adds because my flasks ran out =(.

For this build I would rank as easiest to hardest:
- Hydra
- Minotaur
- Phoenix
- Chimera

Hi thanks for this build looks very interesting.

Two questions :
- Is it viable for the Shaper?
- If you take another belt would it be still viable for high dps?

Thanks.

Thanks bud, yes Shaper is definitely viable but this build is not meant for farming Shaper to be honest so you will need to play smart and not facetank the beam and projectiles, and conserve flasks wisely. If you want a safe build that can farm Shaper I suggest you try a different build. Meginord is good for life and res and damage - if you are not using legacy Meginord and using the new Meginord instead then it is not that big of a DPS loss. What other belt would you want to use?

Would using fortify instead of added fire in cyclone setup, with no p2l on a 5l setup be viable? or would it just plain suck?

thankx for this build. Even my ranger raider isn´t that high damage than yours, I could respec my former passive tree and took your idea as template. And it is much better now than before. With Frenzy unarmed and shield charge for movement or with Flame dash and armed with dual claws in second weapon slot, the game is a lot easier now.
Still have to learn the game and with your guide a lot is now clearer.

It would still be viable, but keep in mind that if you also use Inc. AOE you will then only be using 2 damage support gems for your cyclone.

However most of the damage is coming from +phys on gear and crit so if you got Abyssus and some decent rings + Diamond flask you should be fine!
