PoB is updated, some things definitely got moved around. Looking forward to seeing what you can do.

Edit: Seems like the big change was swagger moving.

A quick modification, I'm sure you can do better but the difference is about as minimal as I'm capable of getting. Lost some bleed damage somewhere, but other than that almost no difference. Maybe you can optimize it better :)

This would be my tree, 10% inc block is way more better than couple hundred HP: https://pastebin.com/B8jTh1CV

The move of Swagger frees up a point for us. In your tree you waste a dex node. Check the updated pob on the guide.
For the extra node I suggest the new path of the warrior. That extra -5% to enemy physical damage reduction is pretty juicy. You can also take one of the many 4% life nodes if you prefer.

Thank you for a nice, well written guide. Will try this build out in Metamorph!

Last few leagues i started with casters, will surely try this one out for 3.9.
Really wanted to give bladestorm a go for a while now, used it for leveling in legion, but yeah this guide makes me wanna play it some more :D

Updated the 3.9 section. Nothing important.

This is a Boss League. This build should be perfect for it.

With the changes made on Monsters armour, would you not think taking bladedancer would be crucial for compensating this Change and doing our Damage again?
Taking Path of Warrior too will be realy great, dont you think?

I've already included path of the warrior in the PoB. Maybe you have the old one. Bladedancer is definitely an option. No way of knowing how useful physical pen will be though. But as far as I know you can't have negative values on monsters (unlike elemental pen) so taking a lot of it may be unnecessary.

Having lots of fun with this build so far ~lvl60... a little slow at the start and was hating it until i started getting weapon upgrades and gem level upgrades. It's pretty awesome with metamorph bosses now. Just bladestorm until they die with a crit flask, doesn't take long.

Currently using Prismatic Eclipse/Scaeva combo for +16% to block.

Did a search for 1h swords with block and haven't seen much. A couple of lower pDPS 1h swords with 3-4% block.

I suppose we can consider rigwald's command but no block.

Will check what other items have block currently.

Anyone has got any other recommendations?

Unless I'm mistaken, Rigwald's Command has +% Chance to block attack damage while dual wielding.
