Is this a viable passive build?

New player, really want my first character to be my own creation before I try the builds people give. I tried to make a passive setup for a ranged duelist. What did I do wrong? What did I do right?

TAKE LIFE NODES.

Seriously, there's no way around it.

Also:
Unwavering Stance and Iron Reflexes are not exactly ideal for a Ranged Setup.
Don't take "full clusters", just go for the Notable.
Bows work wonderfully with Crit.

You don't need/want iron grip, you won't have enough str to gain big from it. So you can skill somewhere else for the same points. And point blank sucks as well, your biggest defense is that you can stay away from mobs, with point blank you have to get close to do any dmg.

Btw crit is awesome, but you need the correct gear/bow to really profit from it. Oh and Duelist is a bad start for a ranged char, you waste lots of points to get to the good stuff.

Tree for higher levels:

On both trees you have less life then what I would aim for, but you seemed to look for mostly dmg, so I followed that.

Since this thread is here, I might as well ask. Since you said it's better to start a ranged character on ranger, I did a similar tree to yours. Does it look fine?

I removed some the crit because I'm new and I'm guessing it's hard to get some of the gear that you said I need if I don't know much about the game.

Thanks for the help so far
Start with the evasion/life points as ranger, and don't focus on projectile dmg., the rest looks fine.
