sorry if this was already asked:
why do you not take Command of Steel?

110% increased defences from shield

Hello there

Thanks for a cool in-depth guide!

I'm running your skilltree with amplify, but my dps is only 20.8k unbuffed.
In my experience this is WAY too low for a melee build at lvl 80+ and I am running into some issues. - I know some of my gems Arnt fully lvled, but I'm sure that wont make THAT big a difference. I would say that my dps must be at least 50-60k unbuffed for this to be viable.

So am I doing something wrong in my gearing or gem-setup?

GEAR:

In regards thanks!

You're not doing anything wrong in terms of gems, you will get more dps as you take all the dps nodes, with ice crash should be around 25-30k.

But you'll never have 50-60k unbuffed! Not sure where you got the impression that's standard for melee builds... crit melee builds, yeah, MAYBE, and that's a big maybe. But not RT builds that focus on tankiness.

First: Thanks for the build. It works like a charm for a casual player like me.

When do you think should I switch from 2h to 1h and shield?
Lvl 59 currently and took all life and armor nodes but not the shield and mace nodes yet. Now I have to start taking these nodes, but Im still not sure about taking mace nodes. Why is Mace so much better then Axe or Sword? Or What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons?
