First skill tree
|
I just installed path of exile and was left feeling slightly intimidated by the huge skill tree, in a kind of nice way. While I normally laugh at devs statements that 'no two characters are the same' I am willing to admit PofE come pretty close.
I had a quick flick through on a skill planner picking what I felt a dual-wielding duelist (doesn't that just roll of the tongue?) might need.

Would appreciate it if someone could have a look for me too see where I am going wrong. As there is a distinct lack of guides for players who are new, not just to PofE, but such in-depth skill systems in general. Last edited by Donk1912#3817 on Feb 24, 2015, 1:54:27 PM

Ok first of all don't plan a 120 passive skill points tree ... ever .. that means that this character needs to be level 100 ( unlikely to happen ) and that you've killed all bandits in all difficulties ( instead of helping one of them ) which never happens because ... it's just better to help a bandit in most cases.
Ok now the first question that comes into my head when i want to make a build is "Do i want to make a crit based build or not?" ... there is not such a thing as "Hey i'll make a semi-crit build". In order to make crit worth your while you need to heavily invest in it gear-wise and tree-wise. You haven't done that in your tree so i'd strongly suggest to get rid of the crit related nodes and to take Resolute Technique ( because your tree is not even close to being crit oriented ) Now i won't focus on the inefficient rooting of your tree.

( a very small example... the same tree with 114 points spent instead of 120 :https://www.poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgQAZ4CoB220tfKpbngNOu0174FBwYshYIZgNuhYr5gK4kO2pN6WQo7T_AlY26f05t3jXzmbLbCrxIKK8OlGEdVjcGBBvqdXlwvBAAYV9mJ5W68Y23TxSn3jn4d2Z6D8xd0Nwdiooqr4Vvo4lmRaXPm3F-JegOHTfu967g674_66fXUILu2DGY4AXpuNCLE__OhmKCqLT5tqhVLZYVcN0iGezacwAefkUZd5fuB2f55X2L01kqZXTeP-jzrh8kX-CjGeHt9PVrM_vrz0xkUKNdbAdhSOFz4qTRUgLOkZtMrTbqpKyD8n)
Nor the absence of some incredibly good passives like Weapon Artistry or Sentinel or Master of the Arena or the Odar's Guile ( since you are going for evasion as it seems ) probably even ditching some block nodes and going for Acrobatics and Phase acrobatics. Nor the existance of some completely useless nodes(when it comes to dual wielding) like the Stun Mastery cluster But i'd rather want to talk on one of the key aspects of every melee build in Path of exile .. and even every build in general. And thats the life nodes. You just need tons of life ... the ~100% that you have are not nearly enough. You've skipped some insane life nodes like Juggernaut, Barbarism, Bravery, Warrior's and Golem's blood and Herbalism. Also don't underestimate the life regeneration it will save your life in countless situations without you even noticing! Another thing that you should look into is the fact that you have 0 weapon specific nodes. While i understand that you probably don't know ( yet ) which weapon type you'll use in the end .. the weapon specific nodes are just too awesome to skip. Well that's all i can think of right now ... "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"
