Hey i have made this tree:

i will be using 1handed weapon and shield with EB for much Mana to sustain my frenzy as i dont have a ST. Will this work?

honestly it depends on the auras you want to run. that tree is very overboard on mana. umm you also do not have many shield nodes to boost your block chance, being the main reason to use a shield.
question, do you have a Bringer of Rain? If so, thats great...you can adopt a kind of Ceryneian build by using a rathpith globe shield and a stone of lazhwar for nearly max block and max spell block.

let me give you an idea on mana usage. I traded my soul taker for the highest dps sword in the game. im looking to get another soul taker but i need to sell a number of things first, but i can still play the game i just need to change my setup slightly.

basically i cannot run frenzy anymore. its base mana per cast is pretty large compared to other melee skills, sitting at 18 instead of 10-12. this means every support gem mana multiplier will just make it worse and worse. my current tree holds the aura reserved nodes you also have in yours, slightly above ranger start and this allows me to run a 60% aura (hatred) and 40% aura (purity) linked with a lvl 20 reduced mana with more than 1/3rd my mana left for casting.
i think my max pool is 580ish and i have just over 200 mana for cast. i still use my BoR but had to switch to dual strike, multistrike, melee splash, mana leech. i need the mana leech gem because i don't have the 2% mana leech node but that WOULD be enough on its own.

that setup is completely sustainable - and you could sustain it the same way with double strike instead of dual strike since you'll be using a shield. if needed you could also put another 2% mana leech on your ring(s) which again will sustain you no problem.
the only time i actually run out of mana is against bosses like 2nd phase dominus where i attack faster than what i leech, but all you have to do is take a slight pause to let the mana leech catch up and then continue attacking, no problem.

here is a revised tree - its basically a whole new tree, lol. you'll notice you need to drop some DPS nodes in order to get enough shield nodes to make using a shield worth it, but it is worth it. with a BoR this set up will give you 73% block chance and with a rathpith (cheap) and a stone of lazhwar (cheap and gives you int, which you lack in this tree) you'll also have 75% spell block.
with this set up i'd also run the blood dance shoes instead of darkray vectors. this would give you 3.5% base hp regen plus 1% per frenzy charge (max of 7 on this build) which is a max of 10.5% regen per second which is quite large. with double strike you throw in a LGoH (since it leeches for both hits on one cast) and now you're unkillable.

again the mana sustain will come from aura management and a bit of leech...you won't need much more. if you can survive with just 1 60% aura and 1 40% aura you'll be fine. i always suggest hatred and purity to make resistances much easier and the noose on gear a fairly loose.
with nearly max block and dodge AND still 30-40% evasion you won't need to run grace. i don't run grace anymore, Ceryneian doesn't run grace anymore. so don't worry too much about it.


long story short, yes this build is viable without a soul taker. you just need to use double strike (1h/shield) or dual strike (dual wield) with some mana leech. you will NOT be able to use frenzy as a main attack without soul taker, hands down.

I need some advice on my build so far. I was thinking about grabbing the evasion node that gives 50 to evade and other spell dodge. I have it set to where I can pick up a ton of health nodes because I'm taking so much DMG...should I get acrobatics first or HP? Also if I link my tree and gear can I get advice on if it is good start for pa and roa?
