Cyclone Scion 2h Axe Variation

Hey guys I started playing PoE a month ago, and I came up with this physical dps scion tank build. (check out the link). (I'm still noob so go easy on me :P)

Original Planned Build - GG passive tree (including crit nodes)



Level ~40 passive skill tree



UPDATE (4 jan 2014): Current passive tree (level 72) - abandon crit for resolute technique




BUILD OVERVIEW.

DPS-wise: Reliant on having a good 2H axe witha good %physical damage roll. 5L Cyclone + BM + Life leech + Melee Physical damage + Added fire damage. Hatred Aura. Vulnerability curse.


Defense-wise: Armor/evasion nodes + hybrid gear + iron reflexes + grace + 5-6 endurance charges + occassional granite flask = crazy physical damage mitigation
A buttload of resists early - can be respeced later.
A buttload of HP nodes early.
Easy to gear around.


Utility: Leap slam + faster attacks + (endurance charge on melee stun optional)
flicker strike + (melee splash + Multistrike optional)


Auras: Reduced mana + Grace + Hatred/purity of choice


Pros:
#Very easy to level/gear #Super tanky #Decent damage output #Beginner friendly

Cons:
#Can be kited #Weak against phys reflect #Cyclone countered by MS slow/immobilizing effects



CURRENT PROGRESS.

UPDATE (4 jan 2014):

I found that Resolute Technique is much much better than wasting 30 points trying to pump my crits, meaning I can now swing over to grab extra mana reserve reduction nodes and harrier. I also save investing into accuracy because RT takes care of everything. I think I'll be able to run maybe 4 auras soon with the addition of these nodes, probably grace, hatred, purity of choice, determination? Not entirely sure yet. But I'm amazed at how well my first proper, self crafted build turned out.

I started doing lvl 66-69 maps (currently lvl 72) and I'm cruising through most maps with crap gear. Phys reflect and heavy chaos damage based maps still hurt me quite a bit, so thats something I'm gonna look on improving.

My final goal is to get Daresso's defiance for virtual immunity to physical dmg (thanks to insane armor boost/iron reflexes) + constant Onsalught uptime, and Alpha's Sinner Tricorne for auras + Cannot be frozen. These will cost at least 5exalts+ each, so I've still got alot of farming to do. But the beauty of the passive setup is that I'm inherently super tanky and have great dps even with mediocre gear, so solo farming is not an issue, and I'm a fairly tank in parties as well.

Chaos resist: Obviously, a Ming's Heart would amazeballs with this build, but I'm no millionaire haha. I'm thinking of swapping in amethyst rings to help with chaos resist? Any suggestions?


Let me know what you think about this build and if you like it!
