Is My Duelist Build Durable Enough? Please Help.

This is an UNWAVERING STANCE/ IRON REFLEXES build.

I administered as many points as I can towards LIFE nodes while trying my best to maximize the build's usefulness. Life stands at 230%. Is that too little? Or is that too much?

I put in as many points as I can to ARMOR and LEATHER AND STEEL to maximise IRON REFLEXES.

I am currently torn between choosing ARCANE EFFICIENCY totaling 20% or MANA REGENERATION totaling 60%. Also take note that I haven't really taken any ACCURACY nodes, so will it hold?

Please judge and help me with my build. :)

This build should be more durable

The Marauder's life nodes are incredibly nice to get and greatly improve survivability. The 0.4 life regen nodes are not very efficient unless they lead to something. Leather and Steel is not very good compared to the armor nodes but since you only have to invest 2 points to get the early one it is still worth it. And the only resistance nodes really worth getting when you are already a durable character are the +15% to all. And finally the +8% movement speed is not very useful when you are melee because you will probably be using leap slam or whirling blades to escape.

This is the updated one. Please judge and advice. :)

Seriously, I am not sure where you are heading with this build. This build is like something of everything but focus in nothing at all. Before we can go any further, please consider the following first.

i) What is your weapon choice? 1H with shield? 2H? Dual wield?

ii) What would be your main skills?

iii) If you concern so much about mana, why not just go for Blood Magic?

iv) Your trees branching out very far just to get very little benefit. And what's with the +30 Dex and +30 Int nodes is about anyway?

1. Dual wield. No weapon choice. I take the best weapons I can get. Either swords or axes. I sacrifice WEAPON nodes in exchange for others.

2. The build is directed towards IRON REFLEXES. I take most EVASION and ARMOR nodes near my tree. Also, since I have no more evasion after that, I picked up UNWAVERING STANCE. Points are then distributed to RESISTANCES and MANA, followed by MELEE DAMAGE, ATTACK SPEED and the like.

3. I can't go for BLOOD MAGIC. Not enough LIFE nodes. Not enough LIFE REGEN. I will literally cast spells to death. Thus, I do my best to get a reasonable amount of MANA near my tree, plus all it's perks. This will be able to sustain my MANA consumption to a reasonable extent.

4. Solution? INT nodes are explained in [3]. As for DEX, accuracy matters quite a bit, as my attack strength is as balanced, so I cannot afford to miss that much.

Factor in manasteal and decent dmg. and you'll be set, manawise. My duelist is only lvl. 50, he has absolutely no mana problems and he hasn't gone further than manaflows and 2x 5 mana on kill, those last 2 nodes will be lifted soon.

For mana, get 4% manasteal on gear, a lvl. 3 clarity and see how far you can go.

As i understand it armor becomes increasingly useless at higher lvl's, making iron reflexes a thing you might whant to use while lvl'ing, but no at endgame.

Blood magic will not kill you, not with lifesteal, the point of life regen is not to offset BMs life expenditure, I believe that you easily can reach a point where you can leech more that you use per hit.

My take on a "no weaponspecialisation" duelist.

I removed CHAOS RESISTANCE, three +10 ARMOR nodes and BLADE BARRIER to make do for the "MARAUDER TREE". I believe it's better now.
