* 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.

The lifesteal is in the circle with Purity of essence. Also you failed to notice that there are one handed maces. Only Slaughter actually only refers to two handers.

normal item improvs 5% per upgrade and magic 1% so you would need 20 for magic but only 4 for normal items

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

Expanding on this: being frozen happens on incoming critical hits from cold damage, the duration is dependent on how large a percentage of your hit points that crit did.

And another time I am recommending wiki for this kind of knowledge. :)

Now I get your point. :)

Investing 2 points for "+10 life gained when you kill an enemy" and "+1% life leech" isn't worth it, imho.

You are right, there are 1h-maces, too.
BUT:
It is mentioned that we are using 2h-maces in the "Weapon-Spoiler".
And you really don't need a defensive "1h-mace+shield"-alternative with this build. :)

Many thanks for this guide, I tried some other class/build which failed badly (difficult to obtain gems and very gear dependent).

Almost finished Act 3 Cruel and dps and survivability wise this build is very strong, easy to obtain skill gems is a huge bonus.

It´s a bit tweaking pretty much everyone does. Lifesteal from passives is imho very valuable while elemental resistances is something I delegate to equiptment as much as possible.

1 hand maces aren´t the point but the shield is. X as panic button is extremely valuable.

Why no armor nodes?

You say armor isnt needed but I dont understand why
