This guy had very little trouble getting through the First difficulty. it has a nice mix od dps and survivability while covering enough of the South-West tree to make picking up additional life, resistance and armor nodes easy if you find yourself dying a lot.
Until you unlock Resolute Technique it can be relatively painful as the accuracy with 2h weapons is TERRIBLE, so consider picking up some accuracy nodes then respeccing out of them, however once you have it you never, ever miss, making sure your life-leech is well stocked and those slow, heavy hits don't go to waste.
Main DPS Skills are: Heavy Strike Enhanced with Added Fire Damage and Weapon Elemental Damage, coupled with Infernal Blow slotted with Melee Splash and +Life Gain on Hit. This is primarily to thin out large packs and keep your health topped up, though making a room full of mobs detonate with one press never gets old.
In addition it uses Leap-Slam and a quicksilver flask or two to p[provide mobility,
Health is a huge issue as it's using the Blood Magic keystone which removes all mana (Mana management is a sod until you get it) and replaces it with Life use, so you can, in theory, kill yourself hitting things, but in practice there is enough passive life regen to make this harder.
Current Build @ 41

This is fun, brutal, and pretty effective at ploughing through everything using minimal gear and skill. It's probably nowhere near optimal but along the right lines.
