Thanks! I am playing a very similar build to yours but I use lightning strike. Additionally to your build i took Iron Reflexes, Point Blank and Iron Grip, other than that I went pretty much the same. Going for swords though, as I have a big preference for Bladedash over Leapslam. What are your thoughts on that? Do you maybe have any tipps?

A couple more questions that would help me greatly<3:
- Why are you not speccing/using frenzy charges? Bloodrage seems to have almost no drawback. Would you do that in the LS version?
- How do you get maxblock? I do not really get to 75% with your build or I am bad at maths :D
- Would it be an option to go into the ranger tree, instead of templar?

cheers and great build!

Hey, i've been playing max block aegis/soul taker/BoR duelist for a few years now and it's probably my most consistent build.

With melee splash buffs, i was considering running either infernal blow or heavy strike. If i ran heavy strike, i would also run emperor's grasps. Has anyone done any late game heavy strike builds?

Also, this build will become incredibly strong when 2.2 ascendancy is released, as we can spec into gladiator and take the node "100% of block chance applied to spells". This would allow us to drop rainbow strides for rare lifer boots and stone of laz for the anvil to achieve 78/78 with minimal effort.

Quick question (and sorry if it's been asked before): why do you take unwavering stance in your high level passive tree, but not iron reflexes?

Doesn't that passive remove all chance to evade?

First of all, thank you for that build. Love it !

I'm trying it and it's doing the job pretty well until now (mercy mid act1). I'm sure it will be great by the end game. But two questions :
- leap slam seems really slow and dangerous. Maybe we can link fortify with another skil ?
- why no blood rage ? that could give an insane speed bonus even without frenzy nodes.
