For damage, focus on allotting nodes that provide Melee Damage and Stun Buildup. This ensures that your Attacks can reliably defeat or stun all enemies within your wide range.
For defense, invest into Block Chance nodes such as Vigilance and Favourable Odds. By also stacking Armour and having it apply to Elemental Damage with armour modifiers, you can easily become extremely tanky.
