Here is my build and I'm currently trying to build Claw melee energy shield leech with high energy shield pool. I just have few questions.
1) As I'm melee I assume I have to get alot of armor instead having alot of dodge (dodge is too random), just to make sure that iron reflexes is must? Or can I take Arrow Dodging instead?
2) How much I have to put on survivability nodes or can I take more DPS nodes? Is my current build enough good balanced on term survivability and dps?
3) Do I need to take Unwavering Stance when having Chaos Inoculation or is that -50% stun avoid enough from energy shield?
4) Do I need +maximum mana%? I would like to have at least Grace+Discipline+Purity and maybe Haste on top of that. Is it even possible at high level to have 4 auras at same time?
5) Or do my build really really suck and I wont go to late game with that build?

Idea should be that I would use Blood Rage to get Frenzy charges and then just killing all with Dual Strike. Using now Enfeeble curse to reduce damage input and probably would use some kind of curse, but those are alternatives and main plan is that Blood Rage+Frenzy+Dual Strike.

I appreciate any good advices ^^

Anyone?

#1 thing and Im sure any1 else who looked at this would say, the build is not good. Glass cannon builds are bad. No life passives all dmg. U wont survive

It's a CI build

Your build is interesting, to say the least. I honestly haven't tried a CI build since Closed Beta. Back then, emphasis was placed on just stacking the ES. However, CI also boosted your ES by a good bit as well. Your idea to use armor to supplement the inefficiencies of the ES as a defense mechanism is good. Iron Reflexes could work out, but Unwavering Stance probably isn't all that necessary.

Im going to reply to this build as this was my first character I have done in PoE. Well, it worked out good and it was strong build when there wasnt +5 mobs. Having +50% phys reduce and nice life leech I was able to kill small packs very fast, also bosses.
Unfortunately this game doesn't allow single target builds and my build could have worked with Lightning strike or simply better items. My items may have sucked a bit too as first character haven't any gear prefound. The problem was lack of AoE skill, otherwise this was enough good.

Made a second character, duelist which is doing fine so far at level 61. Probably going to look out this build with claws after when I know the game better, shadow as melee character isnt just easy, especially with claws when regular melee aoe skills dont support claws x.x

I was thinking of doing a similar build using CI and no health nodes, the only flaw that i see in going this way is that it lacks access to resistance nodes and this is what kills you in late game from what i understood.
The difference between this build and mine is that i didn't put any point into any claw nodes or any other node regarding accuracy/crit etc basically the most defensive build i could think of as i am playing in HC and kiting mobs is my sort of play style when things go weird.

So if I were you I would give up on CI and run eldritch battery with tons of auras and use a claw and shield, but I went ahead and respecced your final build a bit to add some survivability, also keep in mind that your access to energy shield early will be severely limited, so you'd best have routes planned out to grab health nodes that you will spec out of later

Actually since you're grabbing unwavering stance anyway, you should be using a shield rather than dual wielding, the shield will serve as another way to bolster your limited energy shield
