Thank you for the tips :) I'm using molten strike atm. Shouldn't i use cyclone while leveling? If i got a facebreaker that is.

No no, dont use cyclone while leveling. There is several reasons why it s not suggested.
1: Cyclone has high mana cost and you dont have enough mana if 75% is reserved (HoA+Hatred). Thinking about skipping 1 of aura is pointless, cause it decreases dmg a lot.
2: Cyclone with Blood Magic early is self-kill. High mana cost of CC, increased by BM and other supports makes it not possible to outheal early (unless you decide to deal no dmg but use LoGH+LL)
3: Power of this build lays in using Blood Rage for Life Leech (+ u may increase LL from nodes a bit) to outheal the Life cost of supported CC. Therefore you have 1 spare socket to use for increaseing the dmg of CC (and it changes a lot) so even with 5L you can clear common maps easly.

Summing it up - dont use cyclone for leveling. Switch to it once you obtain at least 5L and you surpass Blood Rage life degen with you life regen.

For leveling with facebreakers use either: Infernal Blow + Melee Splash + Fortify + Mana Leech (ML lets u constantly attack on 25% free mana)
or
Ice Crash + Melee Phys Dmg + Fortify + Mana Leech.

I suggest you using Ice Crash. Ive been using Infernal Blow several league while IC wasnt in game and I judge it as weaker to Ice Crash cause instead of MSplash you can use MPD while still dealing splash damage.

Once you get facebreakers buy ring + flat phys damage an amulet + flat phys damage. (ring 5-10 + amulet 7-14 will take you to mercilless). Phys damaged increased % is basciclly worthless.

Overall facebreaker build has few flaws. The greatest weakness of facebreakers are THE FACEBREAKERS. As an item it provides NOTHING but unaramed damage. It forces you to use items with flat phys damage to sagnificietly increase damage (Amulet, Rings, Unique Belt, 2 Unique Helmets, Crafted or Uqniue shield). Therefore you are having less + Flat Life from items than other builds (no weapon, no gloves, and choices between more damage or more life on rest). In conclusion that makes the build rely on LEVELs and nodes that increases Life. I feel that after level 70 FB builds gets by skill points more than other common builds.

On the other hand FB is real FUN and makes you THE MAN! You are habing boss on you face and you are smashing its face by your bare hands!

This is awesome advice, thanks a lot for posting this!!

I'm up to 241.8k dps at the moment. I don't have any really high maps but I'll probably make a 73+ recording of an hour or so this weekend just to entertain you guys.

My goal is to hit 250k. Once I reach that, I'll probably respec down to about 200k dps and improve defenses a lot so I can safely do uber Atzi and the new map bosses.
