[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version

oh yeah comrade , i've been waiting for this ^^ .
im excited .

Will make a new video in a week or so, after I finish power-leveling my rampage char.

Did you lvl with IB or with something else ?

IB :)

Have you tried experimenting with new 1.2 auras and curses? Herald of Ash, Herald of Ice? Would it be a good idea to use poacher's mark or warlord's mark over flammability?

Haven't had the time yet. I devoted myself entirely to the new leagues, where I play another build atm, but after a couple of more days, I will test this build on standard thoroughly and will make a video.

Both herald of ash and ice seem very promising, though, especially since tempest shield is almost unnecessary now with all the block chance nodes.

Of the two curses, I can already tell you that Warlord's is better than Poacher's if you want a survivability curse. The reason is, enemies can't evade our hits anyway since we use Resolute Technique, so that aspect of Poacher's Mark (making enemies less evasive) is useless. Warlord's, on the other hand, is now very nice because it can give you an endurance charge.

Herald of Ash is excellent. It would be great if we could run simultaneously Hatred+Determination+Herald of Ash, but that doesn't seem possible.

how is "Belly of the beast" for this build? thanks in advance

Since patch 1.2., a max roll Belly is phenomenal! However, you do lose quite some armour compared to having a good chest. Also, you can get over 5k HP easily without belly (just look at my gear - I have almost 5.5k with it). It comes down to your choice: insane amount of HP with less armour or a little less, but still a lot HP, but more armour. :)

Do you plan to update this build after patch 1.3? I'm actually lvling this build but I'm worried that after patch it will be hard to make it working
