The tree you're looking at is pre-1.0.0, and the Berserking node used to be down near where Unwavering Stance used to be.

They moved it when they changed the tree, but the point in it remained, which is why you see it there without any other nodes taken near it.

Ah, so this build is a problem to me, because i'm just a newbie at the game. Using a build with point problems isn't good.

Anyone have a "tank" build to follow? Or any topic updated to link me?

And I appreciate your asnwer... :D

I threw this together just now, it should be good if you have good resists on your gear. If not, the +12% to all resists and the +10% to all elemental resistances while holding a shield nodes are pretty solid. Basically modify it to suit your current needs.

Also, the bandit rewards would be like this.

Spoiler

Normal - Kill Alira, Kill Kraityn, Help Oak.

Cruel - Kill Alira, Kill Kraityn, Kill Oak.

Merciless - This one is interesting. If you want to, you can try getting the extra endurance charge from Oak, and three more on the passive tree. If you find it doesn't make that much of a difference, spec out of the ones on the tree and wait for the next patch that adds the option of switching your bandit reward.

Hopefully this wall of text helps you! If you have any more questions, whisper me @Funslinger. I'll be on sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.

You must be joking with the way you link that duelist area, you can link it with 1 point instead of 3 you have there.

The Armour/ES nodes are also pretty important, should at the very least get faith and steel (smaller cluster of armour / ES nodes).

You also spend 6 points to get to get Beserking (21% increased attack speed)
This would be far better spent with that build getting Finesse in the ranger, the 4% ias next to it, then in the duelist area get the phys node above the life regen, then the 2 x 4%ias nodes next to that.

So for 6 nodes instead of 21% ias and 30 str with beserking.
You will get 22 increased phys, 20% ias and 20 dex.

Even better, this would be a far better optimised version of your tree for the duelist, ranger area if you want to make up for beserking.

What about the auras to run ? I've got, from the previous build I was following, 2 points in the nearby reserved mana bonus, and I've run till now anger, purity and tempest shield on mana. I was about to try to run haste, grace and tempest shield but I found out that I can't run them all on mana but maybe I could using other 2 passives, any idea?

My build atm

Second, you should be running Grace, Determination, and Purity if you can.

If you take reduced reservation nodes and use a Reduced Mana gem, it should be.

I'm not high enough of a level yet to get the Sovereignty wheel and test it myself, but it should be possible with it and a high level Reduced Mana.

If you have a Soul Taker, then you can reserve all your mana and go to town.

I haven't tried this build on hardcore, but it seems like it should work the same way it would on Standard.

Watch out for reflect mobs, desync, etc.

Basically the usual things you would already be wary of.

But something will kill you eventually in HC. Either you just get careless or get knocked around and killed. (I'm looking at you, Dominus.)
