Help with changing my aegis + facebreaker build to aegis + soul taker

Hey guys, I have been saving up for a soul taker for awhile and was halfway there when by a stroke of luck I managed to chance a soul taker last night!

I haven't had time to mess with my passive tree but am stumped on how I can get better dps than with my 950% facebreakers I have now.

I run aegis + facebreakers + bor + rainbowstride + stone of lazhwar

I want to be able to run my aegis + soul taker + bor + rainbowstride + stone of lazhwar

Currently my Max block is capped at 76 and my spell block is 65%

 My Gear




The issue I have is adding more melee and one handed damage while keeping my spell and phys block. Since I free up my glove slot, I can make up for some resists there.



Let Me Know What you guys think I should do with my passive tree and reply with your suggestions! Thanks In Advance

Not sure about the +30 stats stuff you picked. Do you need that much Int and Dex?
I'll remove a couple of them Dex/Int-nodes, but add some stats in other areas...

Please consider that you cannot blind enemies with your BoR if you have Unwavering Stance taken.
Not taking US would free up another 3 skillpoints.

I'd also consider skipping Iron Reflexes. Saves even more points and what's it gonna do for you? The 970 Evasion from BoR are pretty nice if they stay Evasion.

If we also remove Sentinel at Scion, we can grab the Armor/ES clusters and the life near Templar. That makes Aegis Aurora do much more for you. And while we're at it, kill the whole Scion zone.

I'd play this tree:
Click
That should net more life, should put you at 74% shieldblock with BoR and AA, and more damage it is definetly.

Hey man, thanks so much for ur analysis.

The int and dex nodes were to allow my rainbowstrides and a little better leveled auras, I run grace and hatred, both dex based. I lost 24+ int from vaal orbing my stone to have +1 additional curse. In regards to US I agree, but when it comes to resolute technique I never been without it. I never had to worry about accuracy and don't know how that would affect my hit%.

When I get back to my pc I will check out the passive tree you posted.

Also, since mana isn't an issue with my soul taker, what would be the best support gem to use on my BoR to replace my blood magic? If I am infernal blow

added fire damage will be better then the fire penetration?

Also after looking through posts about Iron Reflexes and Blind, Blind will still work If I have Iron Reflexes, But it will NOT work if I have Unwavering Stance.

I was trying to figure out a way to use that passive tree you set me up with so I can spare 5 points to get Iron Reflexes, AND another 2 points to get the Increased Area Effects node above the templar health area.

OH SHOOT I forgot, Another Reason I got unwavering stance was so that I don't have to worry about block recovery and whatever else that does. How will that effect my gameplay? If I get crit, I will get stunned I think... IDK if blind is worth it, if I'm losing that...

I meant dropping "Iron Reflexes" of course, not dropping "Resolute Technique". Confused them for whatever reason, but in my example skilltree I got it right.

Block Recovery is not an issue in this game, it's like it isnt even there.

I'd take Blind over US any day.
