Why am I so crazy squishy?

I'm the same level as you and I have 1500 health. Just saying.

The +10 stat nodes are something you want to be avoiding, not collecting lol

I only just noticed he actually posted his build in one of the posts above, so I checked it out, and that is probably the reason he is dieing all the time. That build is completely inefficient; the best advice to give to you actually would be to start up a fresh character. Just trust me, a fresh character with a proper build will be sooo much stronger that you won't regret starting it.

EDIT: quite a few good melee builds popped up in the recent days here, just browse around a bit to get a good idea on how to build a really strong melee character.

You need more HP. Simple as that.

I'm level 36 and I have 1.5k life, though my build is pretty much HP only. It helps a tonne, and you will still get pretty good DPS through support gems and the like.

Cookie could you tell me what about my build is so bad that can't be made up for in the next few levels? I admit I don't think I started it off in the best way. Actually If I can just get 13 regrets lol I can get trade scrape the whole ranger tree and get 11 health nodes and the -30 crit then have the regen next and after that 2 more nodes. I can get 11 regrets in a shorter time then starting over. After that, what would you suggest?

Well, there's a solid build right here. I'm using a varied version of it on hardcore atm.

The regret orbs have such high value though. It wouldn't quite be efficient to waste them. And you have quite some points to respec; much more than 13.

You say, "bows and electric arrow"? That must be Lightning Arrow. In that case I can simply shamelessly link you to this - bow marauder.

Wow that build sure is bad ass. It is 8 points after you hit the first 10 int node heading to the shock chance. It is also 8 from that strength node that you have to get before you can get elemental adaptation to get Conduit. As much as I would like that 25% shock chance. I would rather share 6 stacks of Frenzy with the group =) Thanx for linking this. Here we go again =(

You cannot share 6 stacks of Frenzy with the group. They can only get 3, unless they also have increased maximum Frenzy charges on the passive tree, in which case they are probably stacking their own anyway.

On a side note, if you Really want to go for conduit, hows this (check spoiler)? It makes much much more sense.

Heh yeah I saw those. Well if they can only get 3 then screw that I will get the lightening.

Oh my god, somebody's recommending mine build!!! omg! omg! omg!

A little note for you about the Shock.

So you get 20% chance to shock your targets. You hit tons of mobs ahead of you at a really fast rate. That means they get shock stacked very quickly. Each Shock stack means 40% More damage (multiplier, not addition!). Three stacks mean 120% multiplier. The best thing? The shocked mobs are also shocked for your team mates! So you would actually support your team much better by shock stacking the monsters than by giving them 15% attack/cast speed.
