Im aiming for UT, IR and after that Axe Speed nodes.
Cleave/HS should be switched with Lighting Strike but I cant find it.


Sry for my bad english hope you can understand it, what im trying too say :)
It is probably too late to fix your build, but the most obvious flaw I see is that you are chasing some pretty far off boosts that could have been obtained 10 levels sooner by going Northeast of where you grabbed the 30 dex boost in the top left.

Resolute Technique is huge for regeneration if you are using life/mana on hit abilities, which you should be using.

Why did you invest 20 points to get to the bottom center of the tree? I must be missing the huge boost you are chasing.
I agree with ^. unless you have alot of regrets lying around i would even consider starting fresh.
Something like this would likely be a bit better for your level.

Afterwards heading down into duelist tree for attack speed another big regen node and maybe even blood magic work quite well imo.

Edit : I forgot to add the Armour movespeed node at very start of mara tree that's a helpful one.
