But even melee, with glad dominance passive, 75% block is huge improvement to survival, and deadly strike bonus partially makes up for loss of damage while using 1h weapon.
Bringing up max block builds you are making me wish I had my sigma S1 barb this season hahaha had a burried hawk with glad dom, max block, crane stance and 1.7 mil defense. He was one tanky beast, but not what I wanted to build this season lol. Last season I built a throwing axe barb so I want to try and see if I can find a way to make this kraken barb work.
