ProjectPT doing builds again

Hey I'm just getting back into POE for The Awakening. I wanted to try out Static Strike. I don't know whether it's better to go for straight phys or for more ele. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking to do a Crit Crash 2h sword ranger if you could review my tree that'd be great!

Here's a build I've been planning for a while now involving the new Ice Crash gem and going Resolute Technique. I am going for an Armor/Evasion hybrid setup as well as going for higher block...using the shield defense nodes to stack armor and most of the rest of the gear will be Evasion-based. Alpha's Howl is going to be used for more mana reserve so Hatred, Grace, and Herald of Ash can be run. Also, Soul Taker (Legacy) will be the weapon of choice so mana is not a concern for speccing out Ice Crash. Note a few things on the tree:

1. The "Cloth and Chain" cluster will be obtained along with the one Endurance Charge node via the Intuitive Leap gem, but I cannot show that on the tree so I connected it manually.

2. Rest of the jewel sockets will likely be including Life%, Block%, and damage/resists/chance to freeze will likely fill in the rest.

3. Blood Rage is going to be run for attack speed and Frenzy Charge damage boosting.

4. Bandit points will likely be: Oak, Passive, Endurance Charge

Again, do note this build is going for a more tank style so Fortify, 5 Endurance Charges, and the other mentioned defenses will be used to get as tanky as possible. Flasks will be changed out as needed, and likely either Rumi's or a Perpetual/Armor Granite will be used for defense depending on the map composition. Here's the tree:

Crit EK Dual Totem build using phys to lightning + ice spear or arctic breath to generate power charges and blind for the lawls

MOM zealots oath and EB for survival.

Frenzy + Pcoc for Charges

High-block Scion with 7-8 jewels, currently trying Magma Orb; a bit low on tree crit but I'd try to get extra on gear.
All the jewels and tempest shield to get extra block.

Marauder Explosive Arrow BM RT (HC)

The goal here is to deal good damage and have enough health to be able to withstand a thornflesh pack. 240% life from tree and 6 jewel slots. I plan on running purity of fire on life. Possibly in an alpha's howl if needed.

Quill Rain OFC. Helm is either a good rare, Alpha's, or Devoto's. Boots Blood dance. Quiver either Rearguard, a good life/resist quiver, or Hyrri's Bite. All other items are life/resist as needed.

EA->GMP->FirePen->IncAoE-->SlowProj--->LessDur for packs

EA->FirePen->Conc->SlowProj for single

Single or dual curse option. If dual curse take out 3 points from a jewel slot.

Haven't figured out all of my other defensive options yet for links.


Thoughts? Too much health and not enough deeps? Can you recommend any good defensive options? I'm used to having auras, first time as BM keystone. I am trying to avoid going EE because I feel the chance of ripping myself would go up exponentially. Anything I'm missing in the tree?
