@MFJones, mate i see some people copying your skill tree. Im new to this build, finished building today and i'd like to give it a go. Whats the difference between your skill tree and this guide ?
Also, did you change you Ascendancies ?

OP's build doesn't travel all the way to unwavering stance for stun immunity. Personally I think it's worth spending the 7-8 points just for unwavering to be completely stun immune, the build feels much smoother and much safer with unwavering. You can try it without unwavering first if you'd like to see how it feels to you.

I think my tree also takes an extra accuracy cluster need ranger tree to allow me to hit 84% chance to hit. You may not need to do this if you get enough accuracy on your gear.

Raider is the best ascendancy for this I believe. The elemental status immunity is very key and allows us to run 3 unique flasks. The other two flasks should be bleed immunity ones.

Thank you for your informative answer. I will try the guide skill tree first as i was unware there was a different one to consider (yours) and will change should the need arises. As for Ascendancies i followed OP's, hope yours are the same.
I also noticed some of your gems are different then the OP's

Just hit level 94 yesterday and did Shaper for the first time with 2 portals left.
This build is pretty amazing, my gear is far away from MFJonas.
Had about 8,4k ES and 8,3k BFdamage in hideout with wrath and discipline up.
The tree was pretty similar to OPs one but i want to try MFJones one out.
So my question is which three points in the tree would you sacrifice if i want to try yours?

Yeah my level of gear is definitely not needed to be able to trivialise shaper and guardians. And that is what makes a build great. If it can do end-game with relatively affordable gear but also scales greatly with GG upgrades later on.

If you want to try out my variation with unwavering stance, you'll need to spec out of Finesse and the Heart of oak cluster since you won't be needing the stun avoidance. You may or may not keep the Ballistic Mastery, up to you. I only spec'd into Ballistic mastery at level 97 because it was the best option for me to spend the point on, solely due to the +20 dex which turns into +20 int because of Fertile Mind.

Yeah give it a try, no harm in switching and changing it up later. Won't cost you too many regrets.

The blade flurry gem links should be the same though, but I could be wrong or maybe OP's gear is not up to date because he is playing another build/character.

Blade flurry -> Weapon Elemental Damage -> Elemental Focus -> Lightning Penetration -> Inc AoE -> Faster Attacks

You can try Added Lightning instead of faster attacks if you have a lot of attack speed on jewels and gear. But personally I think faster attacks is a bit better. If your gear/jewels can bring you up to 7+ attacks per second with frenzy charges then added lightning probably takes the upper hand.

You can switch out Aoe for conc effect for tough bosses but based on my experience it's not really needed and it really reduces the QoL feel of blade flurry with a much smaller area of effect.

Ascendancy should be exactly the same, no reason to change anything there: Avatar of the Veil and Avatar of the Slaughter.

Are you spamming chromatics or using vorici?

I mean you could just be getting REALLY unlucky but getting 3R1B on sorc boots has always only taken me 1 or 2 tries with Vorici 3R craft
