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

Oh the new tree is up! I'll check it right away and post a 110 trees here . I won't add them to the guide tho until 1.2 is actually out :)

ok here it is


Well one thing that is different in my tree is this
Iron Wall > Spiritual Guardian
You get the same block chance ( with a 2% block chance from the Sanctuary circle ) but you also get 75% shield defenses ( the spiritual guardian doesn't give any ) and all that for the same amount of passive points. The drawback is that if you go for the Iron Wall you'll lose 20 int but still its worth it imo.

Everything else is more or less the same.

I see that due to the less life nodes we'll have to take attack speed/life regen/physical damage or armour in the high levels ( instead of stacking more life ) and that something that im happy to see.
Overall i'm pretty happy with the new tree regarding this build. Block is kind of easier to cap now, too bad that there the spell block node is gone ... but it's not a big deal. I've noticed that getting + max resists is kind of impossible now and you can get only +1% to all resists ( theoretically) oh btw barbarism looks like a nice passive i'd recommend it ^^ That will slightly nerf Lightning coil .. but again.. it's not a big deal. The extra armour that we can get now will make up for that.

I might be missing something .. i hate that the passive icons are all messed up -_- i'll further study the passive tree .. but i see it it should look like what i've proposed :)

EDIT: now that diamond skin doesn't give + max resists .. it might not be needed

with the new tree my life will be 5932 ( it's 5060 now)

Better because of .. ? What .. a few physical damage nodes ?
On the other hand ... inability to reach Resolute Technique, a lot less life nodes, no life regen nodes, a lot less block chance nodes.

Yes no shaper and mana flows . The tree is more or less "general" just like the suggested tree in the guide ... for running with mana the same advices remain as before ( Mana flows and shaper ) you see i can't make a tree for every sort of combo and situation ... well .. i can but i have to make 1253125 trees :) You know ... tree for mana + abyssus, tree for mana + bor, tree for BM + abyssus, tree for BM + bor, now multiply that by the different possible classes ( duelist, marauder, templar, scion ) now multiply that number by the number of the different skill that you want to use ( frenzy, IB/DB, cyclone ) and you get 48 trees .... 48!
Instead i'm doing what i've always did ... one or two "general" trees and explanation about the different versions.

Its cool that the Master of the arena is buffed ^^
I can't agree that golem's blood is nerfed. Less regen that's true, but now it grants life too.

The no movement penalty means that ... let me start from the beginning. Body Armours and Shields have inherent Movement Speed penalties. In general, all STR and STR/INT Body Armours come with an '8% reduced Movement Speed' penalty and all other Body Armours have a '4% reduced Movement Speed' penalty. So that passive neutralizes that penalty. Unfortunately as far as i know the penalty from the Lioneye mod is not affected.

Yes the attack speed is nice. It's not a bad decision to grab it.

Yes the new tree has lot less resist nodes... but i think that it's intended. Capping resists is very easy right now and probably GGG wants to make that task a bit more difficult in 1.2
