Why does nobody take Body and Soul over the single +15 Res nodes?

Its 2 points for +10 all res + free armor (so 30 Res)
2 points in single res are also 30 res total without the free armor

Sorry for selfquote - any comment would be helpfull

Simple Answer:
You don't need it and there is better usage for your points! ;)

Why isn´t the 1% physical lifesteal taken in the Resolute Tech corner? Also given the armour this kind of build takes why not pick up armour master?

Something of note is that this build only spends a single skillpoint on 2 handed weapons. Having a defensive alternative on the second weaponslot is neat in a pinch.

What the **** are you talking about!? o0

* I can't see a "1% physical lifesteal node in the Resolute Tech corner".
* You can pick "armour master", should be no problem for this build.
* Don't know where you see "only a single skillpoint on 2 handed weapons".
At least 8 are taken in this build.
* You certainly do NOT need a defensive alternative weaponslot.

Does unawaring stance also grant immunity against that damn charge "birds" stun (e.g. ship graveyard)?

skill node resists that stuns yeah

For those of you who are in your upper 50's and up, don't forget: If your gear over-invests in a particular resist, you can spend refund points to back out of the first resists cluster in the passive tree, essentially giving yourself free skillpoints.

This is particularly useful in the higher levels where skillpoints are few and come slowly, and equipment is all pretty good on average and you might find an upgrade after a week of play.

But i guess not against that cold related stun?

Anyway to get rid of that? its really dangerous :(

With a lot of life and high cold resistances it's pretty hard to get frozen.

more life + high cold res = lower incoming cold damage => lower chance to get frozen

so iron reflexes for this build? with grace aura?

2 levels higher than the mobs and 80% resist +8 endurance orbs, I still gonna get chain chilled/frozen. Gotta circle around and smash them a few at a time.

Im using almost this same build but dropped blood magic. Use Blood magic gems for main skills, and mana for dual auras.
