About
So with this build you will use a combination of block chance and evasion so here are some numbers:
- 68% Block Chance ( 78% w/ BoR )
- 68% Spell Block Chance ( 78% w/ BoR )
- 30% Chance To Dodge Attacks
- 30% Chance To Dodge Spell
- ~75% Chance To Dodge Projectiles
- ~40% Chance To Evade
- ~4500 Life
- ~220 Life Per Second


Pros:
*Next To Impossible To Kill
*Flexible
*Does Not Require Any Expensive Gems
*Immune To Reflect
*Easy To Play
*Don't Need Life Leech At EndGame

Cons:
*Soul Taker ( Or Blood Magic Gem )
*Uses Rathpith Globe Unique Shield ( Or Rainbowstrides, wont be capped on spell block. )
*Doesn't Produce Good Damage Without 6L
*Vulnerable To 1Shot ( Kole, Brutus, Dominus ) Since No Armor

Levelling guide

- So to start out you will use a 2H weapon wince you don't need the extra defense from a shield at low levels.

- Then continue leveling. At this point you should start looking for one handed weapons and buy a Crest of Perandus since its a really good and cheap shield with good stats and very high block chance.

- At this point you should have a solid one handed weapon. And you will start heading towards the axe damage nodes and then going into the duelist's skill tree.

- Then you grab all the remaining block chance nodes along with lava last and a few other life nodes.

Then once you get your hands on a Bringer of Rain you can get rid of some Block Chance nodes since the BoR gives you 15% block chance, you should end up with something like this.

You forgot to post the MOST important thing!
What did you accomplish with this build?
Damage output? DPS..
Defences? (mechanics)

All this can be answered by posting your ingame Offence and Defense tabs.
It's really important if you have 2-3k DPS or 10-20k DPS or 50-100k DPS.

I have a tanky build like yours (no OP weapon like SoulTaker) that does 2-3k DPS on 4L. So...

EDIT: I had a look at the skill tree and I can tell by now that the DPS will be pitty full at most. I also have an IB Marauder with a 475DPS 2h Mace that CAN get to 10k DPS on a 5L. So with a 1hander ... it will be very low. My Marauder has about 250% increase physical from passives alone.

i am not high enough level with this build so i cant post screenshots of the stats, as for the damage part i tweaked the skill tree a bit to get more damage ( ~200% Phys + 30% Fire ) and keep in mind you will have very high attack speed.

I've been running a similar build actually. Evasion/Dodge/Block build. Surprisingly also using Infernal Blow.





Unfortunately your final build link isn't working right (shows 0 points spent). I can take a rough guess from the planned 60 build though.

So far I'm in Act 2 Merciless with...meh gear but not facing any major issues. Some comments/suggestions from my experiences:

Resolute Technique isn't needed. With how much dex you get plodding through the ranger area, I have 0 issues hitting stuff without grabbing any accuracy nodes or going out of my way to get accuracy on my gear. At the moment I have an 85% chance to hit with only +130 accuracy rating on my gear. Everything else is purely from dex. If you're really hurting for accuracy, Scion starts beside 3x12% acc nodes.

I grabbed a Crest of Perandus right off the bat. With the 6% block from the Scion starting area and Tempest shield, that's 50% block at level 10. Along with the life and regen on it, it pretty much trivialized normal for me. When I was able to run Grace, it trivialized Cruel.

A Blinding Flame Totem is EXTREMELY helpful for an evasion based build. A LMP (or GMP) Flame Totem spews a TON of projectiles, pretty much instantly blinding a nice chunk of enemies, making me more or less unhittable. Life leech on my gear plus natural regen is enough to keep me up most of the time due to the fact that I just don't get hit. And if I do? Instant flask.

The only issues I'm having are cold casting mobs because my cold resist sucks.

Stats because everyone loves numbers

For reference my Scion is level 59. Some of my gear is pretty bad, yet I'm still going through Merciless without any major issues.

Gear

Infernal Blow + Melee Physical Damage + Melee Splash + Added Fire Damage: 1229 dps

268 dex, 151 str, 108 int
1323 HP, 519 mana

396 Armor (10%)
5932 Evade (56%)
40% Dodge
30$ Spell Dodge
64% Block
32% Spell Block

73% Fire/43% Cold/75% Lightning/-45% Chaos

I also the following skills:
Grace + Clairy + Reduced Mana
Double Stroke + Added Fire (for the odd single target guy and I'm out of mana)
Flame Totem + Blind + Lesser Multiple Projectiles

hey ty for telling me about the broken link just fixed it ! and isnt your life pretty low? 1300HP in merci is quite suicidal and i have to get nodes next to resolute technique so its only 1 point and i think its well worth

You'd think that, but I haven't had any issues. Simply put, I do not get hit often and I need just enough life to not get 1 shot. Merciless Brutus hit me once in the entire fight, and that hit didn't kill me. I walk into a pack of blue mobs, and take maybe 2 hits. My energy shield regens while mobs are actively attacking me. The life leech that I have on my gear plus my life regen sees me though the vast majority of fights.

That being said I'm not invincible. Cruel Domi did 1 shot me with his Lightning Fist (I dodged/evaded/blocked about 20 of them though). And I find cold damage in particular to be pretty brutal since I don't have a lot of spell block and crummy cold resist. I have to be a bit more careful around mobs that sling magic, particularly magic that can't be blocked/dodged (Unrighteous Fire guys along the way to Piety for example).

I've soloed everything so far.

Will have too low hp for maps, as always with evasion builds prone to the one shot scenario. Invincible is not the right adjective imo.

That's my worry with this build. Right now my HP is low, but it hasn't been a major issue except on Cruel Domi. Since I have most of my build together, I can focus on grabbing life nodes while heading over to Ranger for the last bit of block. Ideally I'd like to be sitting on 5k life, but I don't think that's possible.
