No where near enough life, and focusing to much on dmg nodes.

You dont really need dmg passives to be effective. Your a glass cannon right now. In a gorup that great soloing youll die alot. Defenitly not a HC build.

Rather than go down to ranger tree, I would go to the middle of the tree for the massive health nodes, strength dmg bonus works on ranged node is all the dmg youll need, and if your running 7 aura's Inner force is a must (30% extra effect of aura's is crazy good).

You wont kill stuff as fast but youll find your not running away as much.

EDIT: Your build has base +142 life, 152% max life.

Try something like this.

With no items - base +222 life with +230% max life
24% projectile dmg increase + strength dmg bonus -> more than enough
You do get IR late, but your so tanky its not an issue. + positives with running a ele hit is that late game you dont need to worry about reflect mobs as your a mixture. I would almost prefer to skip IR and go down this route.

+227 base life, +258% max life as well as the extra regen from golems blood.

NOTE: Dont rush EB, go to the middle cluster of life nodes, you should get there by early cruel. Then when you have a leveled clarity & dicipline before you switch and turn on all auras permanently.

+267 life, 237% max life with MASSIVE regen 4.4% per sec.

This is another way to do it, do this if your not running auras. You can grab those 3 life nodes near IR early and respec out of them latter when your close to the marauder tree. You could even ditch mana flows and get golems bloode thru the bottom and go Blood Magic. Alot of variety is there if you want it.

Feedback: You have a bit invested into crit, but a lot less than you could easily get. Crit and crit damage scale really really well as you get more and more.

Here's an example of modding the build to get some more crit.

Should produce a lot more DPS than spending points to get to the ranger start nodes. I believe the number of HP nodes is the same. Also took arcing blows (lots of DPS) and the Nullification ES/EV hybrid passives which are fantastic for pumping your mana and defense at the same time.

Getting the two Heartseeker nodes in the ranger area will also likely produce more DPS than going into the duelist area, but that's a preference thing since they make your damage less consistent and make reflect more dangerous.

I'm playing an EB build with only a few more HP nodes than you, at lvl 77 atm, and can say from experience that you will be incredibly squishy from mid cruel onwards. Staying alive is going to rely heavily on your personal gameplay skills, seeing trouble coming, dodging enemies and projectiles, using quicksilver and granite well. But it sounds like you enjoy that kind of gameplay :)

PS: Ditch quill rain as soon as you can get a decent bow. The half damage applies to elemental hit damage as well. The ONLY skill that avoids quillrain's half damage is the explosion of explosive arrow.
