[1.3.1] BoR Cyclone max Spellblock Tank

This looks awesome, been looking for something to respec my duelist to. My concern is that I don't have and can't afford a soul taker (what are they, 28 ex?) and so i was wondering what my options would be if i were to use blood magic instead of a gem. would i drop endurance on stun and just not do the hardest maps due to decreased survivability? or is it just not viable at all w/o soul taker? if you're unsure, would you be willing to test a bit with blood magic gem linked to your cyclone, so you have some advice for people who cant afford ST? thanks!

another weapon and blood magic gem works fine. I guess it should be no problem to swap blood magic and endurance charge on melee stun if you cast warlords mark in addition (chance for endurance charges on kill). another option would be the added fire gem for less damage but more survivability.

i strongly suggest playing facebraker cyclone as a stepping stone until you farm up ST/bor etc... the dps will be far better than any weapon youll get on a tight budget

also you need f#$% all damage nodes , just take life/block/armour

or if you went the saffel's route you could potentially skip armour completely and take endurance charge + skill duration nodes and go perma immortal call
