[1.1.X] Do the Deeps! Dual Sword Guide

Need opinion on this:

Determination -> Hatred (my armor sucks anyways without granite, and with granite, what does it even matter?)

Melee damage on full life -> Blood Magic gem

8 skillpoints off the skilltree (all Int/mana related stuff) go into:
*Ondar's Guile
*the dualwield stuff next to it

Like this

I really like the idea of using mana and pure physical damage 6L and will definetly continue playing it for a while, but that is: +24% increased damage, 8% attackspeed, 2% more block and double evasion against projectiles.

Ondar's Guile is a borderline broken Keystone that mostly invalidates most projectile attacks against you. Definitely worth the points if you find yourself getting shot too much. It's useful against Tentacle Miscrations, Chimeras, spitting snakes, those Gull things, various nasty skeleton archers, Piety's ice form, the ST/RoA Exiles and a bunch of other stuff...

The DW nodes next to it aren't bad, either - alternatively, you could also grab Ambidexterity and Fencing for the same point investment for 7% ias and 48% damage. Plus various other combinations inculuding Gallantry and the 3 DW nodes leading to Acceleration, etc.

I'd just try the aura swap and see how it works out.
If your armor is not enough to matter due to gear constraints, you could also contemplate going for Acrobatics. It's 10 points for the full package from Ondar's. Then again, you're mostly geared with armor-based equipment, so you'd need gear swaps... and then, you might as well just upgrade into more armor instead.

As an aside, on the topic of crit, with Disemboweling (140%) and Deadly Precision (120%), there are also +260% 1H crit in the Marauder/Templar sectors, which means you don't necessarily need the Shadow area if you want to go in that direction. However, you might have a hard time getting the necessary Int for claws then.

Crazy update in first post.

I have decided to stick to "no bloodmagic", it is just not so common and boring.

Added a long chapter about map mods, bosses, exiles, boxes and nemesis mods.

Turned 91 today after a long streak of 78 maps. Haven't died in forever... Yeah! ;)

Are Rangers always so silent? In Marauder section there's usually more feedback... ;)
