Tried to make a Raider Build

I tried making my own Raider build because I couldn't find any I would want to try, but still wanted to try a Raider. I use Cleave as my main skill and I'm Evasion/Dodge based. I am aware that it has very low life for end game, that is the main reason I'm not sure if it's viable or not.

Don't pick resists from tree, get them from gear. If you cut most of the resist nodes you'll have so much room for more hp. Melee builds should have double what you picked, your current hp could pass for tornado shot lab / mf character, not a melee.

Don't be a Diablo fan wearing full orange gear, that's why you can't cap resists from gear because you're not using any yellow gear. How to gear up on a budget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZET4C5HAz3s

Same with accuracy, don't waste tons of points to pick it, just get a precision aura if you can't cap it in any other way.

At least 1 flask should be anti-curse, as a raider you took care of elemental ailments but you'll die to elemental weakness / temp chains maps etc.

Grace is a big mana hog, not sure if it's worth it over other auras, for example Pride.

P.S. You also put points in two-handed nodes while dual wielding?

Firstly I would just like to say Thank you Viktranka for taking the time to look it over and reply.

The reason i went for full uniques was simply for ease of access, I play on ps4 sadly and trying to find rares I need is horrendous imho, takes forever to find what you need resists wise, and then it's usually overpriced as well.

That's my bad on the two handed nodes, I immediately removed those, thank you for pointing that out.

While waiting on a reply I've messed with the build some more and I think I came up with a better tree overall, added a lvl 80 lvl 90 and lvl 100 tree. I also got myself ~4k life now went ahead and added some more gems including a cwdt setup using immortal call, might switch it to steelskin I'm not sure yet, along with a cast on death portal setup, and a Bladestorm setup to build rage for me but also gives ~16k extra dps, but idk what else to use with my open sockets.

Edit: went ahead and added grace for some extra evasion while mapping, and then I could switch to pride for bosses since I am 95% evade capped (essentially) from them being blinded anyways

Changed some more things around like Jewel sockets, and grabbed alira so I didn't have to rely on another resist jewel
