I've been frustrated lately with the progress, or lack of progress on my Scion. I've had net issues that have caused DC's, and this weekend was marred by rampant Desync, and deaths to a rogue Exile that Flickered, only further compounding the Desync issue.
So, I've started running my Facebreaker a little harder than previously. I'm using a duelist, and I'm not into the early 40's. It's been a pretty enjoyable time so far, and I'm finding that I don't even really need more than Infernal Blow.
For the time being, I'm planning a very conservative build. Lots of life, Lots of resists, Lots of armor.
Mainly, because I have a pair of legacy Facebreakers waiting on the char when I drop down to standard, so I'm trying to make sure that death is not a problem for this character.
Since I'm fairly confident that there will be big changes with 1.1, I'm putting in some time with some keystone passives that I'm confident will be changed.
Iron Reflexes. I'm sure that I've mentioned before that this char is IR, and the ridiculous amount of armor that you end up by going with it (as evidenced in my post: A case for why it's too good).
But at this point, I'm just cruising along, breaking things, and having a good time. I do wish that Shield Charge worked for Facebreakers. I have always sort of enjoyed the skill, it seems a shame that it is a shield based skill that requires a melee weapon. It would be a lot more interesting if you could make a Facebreaker / Shield Charge build, which focused on Shield Charge. From a slightly geeky stance. "I SMASH YOU IN THE FACE WITH MY SHIELD! I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' WEAPON".
But that's really just a silly wish of mine.
Anyway, with the Domination league winding down, you'll either find me on the facebreaker, or possibly trying to finish up the last challenge I think is "doable" for me: 2 more rares to find.
