Ah, you have that Unique Weapon. Well, then you should remove those nodes spent on accuracy.

Ya i actually didn't look back and see i had accuracy nodes until u said something thanks. I grabbed them before i found the weapon.

Lava lash? But ur pure physical, don't you?

I've got fire dmg on my current weapon, as well as a additional fire dmg gem on my main nuke, so it seems worth it. If it's not i still have plenty of free respec points ^^

If you want to specialise in armor, why don't you take 'Steel Skin' next to Unwavering Stance instead of 'Armor Mastery'. Those 2 points will give you 40% instead of 18%.

The flask life talent seems pretty decent on paper as well...

I would recommend picking the 45 health from the quest in act 2 as well over the talent point.

I won't do it. For me skill point worths much more than 45 health I can get from equipment.

Howmuch bonus health will you get from talents, 100-150%? Let's say 125%, that means the you would get ~102 health per difficulty, so easily 400+ health. That's more than you would get from 4 talent points. Maybe once you get massive amounts of health from gear the 4 talent points might be slightly better, but while the difference at endgame will be slightly noticable, you will have a much easier time early game.

Unwavering stance and iron reflexes are an amazing combo as well, you can't get randomy stunned, which will save your ass many times, and all the wasted evasion rating will be converted to armor, which will also increase survivability.

While I strongy suggest Unwavering Stance, I don't like Iron Relfexes, as... I've already said my opinion about armor.

It's a great way to get convert wasted evasion rating into armor. It also allows you to pick armor/evasion rating armor instead of purely armor, increasing the chance that you get a proper upgrade. While armor isn't all that amazing against hard hitting melee attacks, it certainly helps. It's rather close to diamond skin anyway, and the movement speed talent next to it is pretty good as well
