Hardcore Duelist Build

I am looking for the best way to build the Duelist on the Hardcore League.

I have been trying to build it around EK skill, grabbing mostly survival passives (health>hregen>armor/evasion>block) with IR and Blood Magic.

Is building around EK a good way to build a Duelist on HC, if it is, how? if not, what then?
Bump, really looking forward for a answer.

Pretty good, but I suggest 3 changes:
-There's a different path I would suggest to go to the Vaal pact nodes
-I would not recommend the 0.4% health regen nodes; they're really not that good.
-Don't forget to get steel skin by US (mistake?).

As a side note the new mana flows/acceleration/leather and steel are really useful early game if you want to consider getting points in them early game and respecing once you get blood magic.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

- Take away the 2 0.4% regen nodes, and place them in a much more useful area like HP nodes. Having regen is not necessary so you can now place those two point either in the STR nodes at the top or at the bottom where you haven't gotten Berserk. Other than this it looks good but I'd post your final build also.
