Is it adviseable to skip on Iron reflexes until i get BoR?

This is my current build:http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQABS0R1RIgFx0b-iFgJd9AoEd-U99Xl1jbXotgQWBLY3BlTXTteu-E2YTvmSubLZuDnrmkGavFvYG-p8APz_jSTe_j

Also, in the build it is promoted to get both Iron Reflexes and Resolute Technique. This means you cant miss and cant evade. Iron Reflexes also causes your dex not to provide a bonus towards evasion rating. Since Dexterity gives bunoses to accuracy and evasion, isn't all the dex you get wasted in this build? or should you try to avoid dex as much as possible and get strength on your gear instead?

Iron reflexes is very useful when leveling imo, It was my first aim (plus using grace). It really shines without bor, as you'll probably lack blind without it)

Yes, dex is useless as a stat. However, you'll need high dex in order to use rapiers/corsairs (at least 150+) so it's not wasted unless you get tons of +dex gear (I'd even need to add a +30 node if I were using spiraled/jeweled foils)

Why is he using a level 20 enduring cry (req level 68) with cast on damage taken Level 1? (can only support level 31).

Makes sense.

That section of the build was written when cwdt was first released. At the time, you could level any gem connected to it. It has since been patched to the way it is now.

A lot of things in this guide are old, such as the use of legacy bor and legacy soul taker.

I would suggest searching through the more recent posts of people showcasing their builds to see more updated versions of this build.

My skill tree is the same as in the guide, ps.

I dont have MILIONS OF EXALTS IM NOT LUCKY BOY to buy pwnzord gear ... any solutions?? or sugestions?

Theres a few things you need to do. For mana issues you need to sacrifice some dps by using a Blood magic gem in your Tabula Rasa. You will need to level up your Life gain on hit by farming xp in an easy area, your dual strike also needs a few levels. You need to get a cast when damage taken gem (not costly at all), and link it to some survivability stuff , decoy totem and the like. The cast on kill gem is a poor substitute. Your weapons have a high attack speed which is good, but higher phys damage is better, especially at lower levels. The higher speed causes you to attack faster which drains your mana faster (or life when using a blood magic gem). Slower speed but increased damage will help with sustainability (at least until you can afford the life/mana). Grace gem needs to be taken out of your weapon and added to your helmet so it can benefit from the reduced mana gem. You will be able to keep it on without worrying about mana provided you use the blood magic gem for attacking. Also try to pick up a Faster attacks support gem for leap slam skill as it is nearly useless without it.

Would Blood magic (skill) and after that mortal conviction be a good idea?

Updated skill tree and build for lateish game
30k self buffed Cyclone
over 5k life
over 8k armor
52/38 block/spellblock
slightly overcapped resistances with current gear
+9 Chaos resistance
enough leech from passive and gear to get me through 50% reduced map mods without using leech or LGoH gems.

Still looking for better gloves, rings, and ammy but happy with how this is working.

I'll point out that I just took "by the blade" even though my off hand is a scepter this gives me slightly less dps than "beserking" or filling out the AS/damage nodes at the start of the tree, but I also get enough life out of the deal to make it the best choice here.

Hey. The Late-ish tree is still broken. Can someone post a fixed one?

Thanks

hey guys! would really love your feedback on as to how to proceed with this build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAAdwDhwUtEdUSIBcdG60b-iFgJd8ppTGeMgk0kzWSOJZAoEd-SshN404qU99Xl1jbW69ei2BBYEtjcGVNbEZuqnBycmx07XgNeOt674TZhO-ZK5stm4OeuaQZplepbqvFtfK2QbcXvYG-ir6nwA_P-NJN037cgt0N5wrveu_j_MX-jw==

I want resolute technique and armour mastery eventually, whats the best way to go from my current build? Also, should i delete the life nodes leading to the path of the warrior (24% hp and 12% phys) and get the life nodes in the right of the tree instead (Thick skin, +34%) and aspect of the panther (+16%)?

please consider some feedback since it will be much appreciated!

EDIT i went ahead and made the changed i mentioned:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAAdwDhwUtEdUSIBcdG60b-iFgJd8ppTGeMgk0kzWSOJZAoEd-SshN404qU99Xl1jbW69ei2BBYEtjcGVNbEZuqnBycmx07XgNeOt674TZhO-ZK5stm4OeuaQZplepbqvFtfK2QbcXvYG-ir6nwA_P-NJN037cgt0N5wrveu_j_MX-jw==

did i do the right thing?

After this im planning to go for Armour mastery, diamnon skin, get the two fire resi nodes and go to resolute technique from there.

Again, feedback wuld be appreciated :D

For sure. Why wouldn't you want more life, more damage and speed basically for free? (Both trees you posted appear identical to me though.)

I think the path you've chosen is perfectly fine. If you have trouble surviving along the way, just spec into more life. If possible try to get more resists on your gear so you could spec into more life/damage instead.

Is it just me, or is there 55 points left in Arthedes trees? Something I'm missing, or do wrong? I still would appreciate fixed tree from someone so I can continue this build.. :)
