Sword and Board - My first Duelist build

Heya people. After a quite long absence from the game I finally have some more time to play, and I decided to try out the Duelist this time around, in Hardcore League.
I was aiming to - like the title says - build a 1h+shield character, mostly focused on survivability and on using swords, hoping that it will be viable.

To this end, I've put together this build:


But it's been quite a lot of time since I first dabbled in builds, and I'd really appreciate any advice or feedback on it.

For example, do I have enough accuracy to not miss every single blow, or do I need Resolute Technique? Is Blood Magic worth it, or should I focus on getting more mana/more life nodes to make it work? Are there any nodes that you would personally avoid/absolutely get? Would you focus on armor/life or on DPS initially?

Thanks everyone for your time, and thanks twice in case you decide to throw your opinion in my direction. :)


Edit: Updated build

There are 2 ways;
1) viper strike+shield charge+ molten shell+ tempest shield+grace+a double totem reju+ shockwave or double shockwave, focusing all on hp/str and no damage, damage from skills+supports(viper strike is independent, molten shell only needs iron will, etc.)

2)
a actual damage dealer with cleave and everything
bring it to 87 or so
have ots of hp, melee damage, 1h damage lethal bade is good too, bm, use anger+grace, cleave+added fire damage+melee damage+faster attacks+life on hit+life leech

a viper strike+shield charge is also good for bosses
cleave AoE and viper strike 1target
double strike not needed imho

Your build is pretty good, although you could cut some nodes like the shield block ones. Also, swords have additional accuracy; you won't have 100% chance to hit with your build, but you will mostly won't notice missing attacks since swords are also damn fast, so you may want to drop these accuracy nodes.

Block and Stun recovery isn't needed when you have unwavering stance! Just a heads up!

you wont be able to block if you have unweavinger stance so I think you should ditch it

The only thing US does is allowing you to skip block/stun recovery since you will not be stunned, so you will block attacks(so, damage) and you will not be stunned by it!
You should read skills more accurately

I'm lvl 64 in the hardcore league using sword and shield.
here is my tree.

I'm going to change the start of my tree, I was duel wielding at first and had to change the duel wielding dmg to proj for lightning strike, was just easy fix but I'm going to link the other start point to my shield nodes and get rid of the as-prj dmg.

My character is really tanky while being able to do decent dmg now.
