Works fine up to level 125 or so. The clear speed is pretty bad this patch, and physical damage in general is unimpressive in 2.0, but it's definitely still very tanky.
Starhawk is the way to go for anything Fauzt+, I think.

The unique Warp BladeStarhawkthat has a lot of elemental damage, along with supporting elemental gear, is better in the endgame (around half of the level 125 ubers, and anything higher than that) than the physical damage build with other warp blades.Starhawk

Before then, the build works fine as written. You can make things a bit easier on yourself in Normal by gambling a Crystal Sword from Gheed around the end of act 1 (need to be level 15+). Still makeThe Warped Bladefor Nightmare and Hell, though.The Warped Blade

So I'm level 125 now, Is it better to switch from Physical to Elemental?
I tried Elemental once. the clear speed was amazing. However if I pick "Paradigm Shift" perk (which converse Moonstrike to boost elemental), I'll have a really hard time to survive 'cause the leech literally gone.
Oh, another thing: If i keep playing as Physical build, Do i need to switch the Melee Set to SU like: "Steel Punisher, Royal Circlet,etc..". Cause i really like the Set.

You'll still have Baneblade's life on attack, Svalinn offers life spark on block, and you can also build Hellfire Plate (if you're not using Lachdanan's) or supplement it with potions. It's not going to be as survivable as getting your full life orb back from Fusillade,
The set is pretty decent but there's definitely better options. I wouldn't break it until you can replace the shield and helm, maybe also a third piece.

Absolutely take Paradigm Shift and Cold Blooded on elemental. Starhawk already has ~1/5 the physical damage of Steel Punisher, Khany, or the set, so you're giving up like 300 phys damage to gain ~1.2k more tri-ele damage and ~60 cold pierce (assuming 6k dexterity).
I think you might have enough there to replace the set pieces for either elemental or physical, especially if you can make yourselfSvalinnSvalinn
