Two Handed Sword Duelist.

I made this build as a quick mockup to demonstrate how a Duelist is a better choice for two handed swords than Marauder and figured that you guys over in the Duelist forum would be interested in it(also I want feedback and would love to see if I did things right, I've never played a duelist):

Key Features:


- Uses 81 points, the highest I have seen attained in game so far.

Here is mine with 74 points:

I didn't go Blood Magic, but it's possible.
But I would change the build like that:
http://poezone.ru/skilltree/#l7
Removing some points in the Sword nodes and gettting some HP regen to sustain Blood Rage and get some life leech.


Why didn't you take the nodes near the starting point?
They increase damage and attack speed (+40% AS in my build).

Honestly I'm not sure, I guess I saw Accuracy and just sort of dodged it without giving thought to what was behind it.

Blood Magic was a part of the request, so I figured I should toss it in there since it's handy for low-int builds anyways :)

I tweaked it a little, taking your build and adding in Blood Magic + Iron Reflexes, I took out an 8% Armor node to get to Iron Reflexes using only 81 points figuring that having evasion turned into armor was handy, though I am unsure if it is actually worth losing the 8% node

I've just started this guy "2-HS Duelist" and man, am I having a blast with him.

Can either of you link the gear you are using? I've only got my guy to the mid 20's and haven't felt comfortable enough yet with my HPs to put the point in "Bloodmagic", i'm waiting 3-4 more levels until i get teh 6, 6, 18% increase.

Anyway, i find Flicker to be amazing in wiping out ranged mobs, he's just hitting so hard with it at the moment.

I want to say i'm level 22 at the moment, my gear is below.

It's the best i've seen drop so far.

OH, when do i get 'added fire damage'? I saw the cold one available, but took the 'increased elemental damage' gem instead.

Looking at the other Classes I find this one to be more in my play style. Also looking at this build I would say that I may just use it once I get into the game. Looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to try this out!

Thanks for the small guides guys, will help give me a better idea of what I want to do

I cant see your passive tree. Is it possible to have in the classic planner way?
It would be sweet, I'd like to play 2h sword duelist...
