What do people think is the best facebreaker totems build? Scion gets 3 totems with no damage penalty and can go gladiator for spell block or berzerker for more damage, but you have to use bringer of rain which is a lot worse than abyssus+chest. Hierophant you can get 3 totems and use all the best equipment, and you can use shield charge for trash clear, but there's that pesky damage penalty on the totems and your last two ascendancy points are gonna suck.
Berzerker or Juggernaught only get 2 totems but the Berzerker's 40% more damage is probably actually better than the scion once you factor in that you can use abyssus and bigger hits penetrate more armor. Juggernaught obviously is the lowest damage but the tankiest probably, although scion with gladiator is probably also pretty tanky since you get insane block.

I six-linked one Quill Rain in ~40 fuses and five linked my other in ~30.

I'm planning inquisitor with mine, because WED is good, bosses have lots of resists and armor, and the signal fire/phys-to-lit give large amounts of added damage.

Is there any melee skill that isn't just strictly outclassed by EQ? I really want to make a melee build but I'm having trouble finding a lategame viable melee build that costs under 1ex

Reave. Oro/Terminus Est Flicker Strike. Lightning Strike on open maps, especially with chain. Spectral Throw with enough proj speed.

Just another jackass on the Internet
So I'm starting up an Oro's Flicker Pathfinder, but I'm unsure whether I my Ascendancies should go Nature's Boon -> Master Alchemist -> Veteran Bowyer or Veteran Bowyer -> Nature's Boon -> Master Alchemist (Nature's Adrenaline will be the final one). Right now leveling with Earthquake/Herald of Ash, if that matters any.

yes, but they can also drop in all the other places where maps can break map drop rules, and a few extra places as well (Inner treasure mobs, singularity chest, etc). They also drop anywhere once you have the unlock, like any other map.

It's pathfinder city because they can still keep vessel of vinktar up permanently. Huge ES pool + vessel of vinktar's 20% (wtf) leech + vaal pact + blade vortex lets you instantly heal back up any damage that doesn't 1 shot you. This trivializes so much poo poo.

How does that work with FB not being able to crit? Because if its just for the penetration, Pathfinder seems strictly better.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I was actually planning on doing it with a dagger myself. Rigwald's curse is only 55c at the moment and lets you crit normally with FB.

I'm liking how much the game changes and improves every few months but there are a couple things I'd like to see them do to the game still that hasn't changed much.

  • Act 1 improved gameplay and visuals, it's only had very minor changes from the early days and the new maps show they can make some nice looking stuff these days.
  • Passive tree getting a ingame name search and planner, being able to type in "Fire" and get all fire damage and fire resist nodes highlighted, stuff like that.
  • Being able to show more stash tabs without having to scroll to the side, there is plenty of space for it and it's discouraging me from even more stash space

The first two would help keep new players, the last one would be for whales or people who spent 15$ on stash sales.

So to be clear that I'm not being an idiot, Hatred (et al) still apply if you've converted all your phys damage to elemental right? And this means that WED would apply to 100% of your damage rather than less if you weren't fully elemental? And these both work with facebreakers?

Yep. Hatred effect doesn't decrease just because you use an ele conversion skill.

Also, theorycrafting time for my new crit facebreaker totem. Should I go assassin with this tree, or ascendant (assassin/chieftain) with this? Assassin gets easy crit cap, but ascendant get some nice utility.
