[2.6][Question] Max Block Varunastra Soultaker Dual Wield Gladiator

Hey like the title says,
im thinking about the legacy league and upcoming old Unique like old Soul taker and Varunastra.
Is it possible to achieve 78%/78% Block whiel Dual Wielding? I played a Varunastra/Aegis in Perandus, it was quick fun and i killed Abaxoth in T15, but it lacks a bit of damage and Style.

Did someone has a build or guide for something like that?

Block cap with dual wield (and without flasks involved) is really difficult.

Including legacy items (we don't know if all of them are available) these are your best options to reach a high block chance:

Legacy BoR (15% block)
Legacy Ungil's Gauche (20% block when used in offhand)
The Red Nightmare (13% block)

We don't know if this particular version of Ungil' Gauche will exist and the other two items will be extremely expensive (Red Nightmare was 10ex+ in Breach and it won't be any cheaper with breaches being less common).

Without legacy items (or Red Nightmare) involved you can reach the cap with a regular BoR, Advancing Fortress in offhand and getting all the DW block on the right side of the tree. (Which means you sacrifice RT and all the life nodes from the left side)

I tried this once and imho it wasn't worth it. I guess Aegis just works better.
i currently have a 75% block/ 75% spell block dual wield Soultaker and Rigwald's Command
100k dps tooltip buffed (static strike)
50k unbuffed
20k armour buffed (80% dmg red)
14k armour unbuffed (59% dmg red)
6k life

Dual Wield (15% block)
Legacy BoR (15% block)
+1 curse Anvil amulet (8% block)
Passive Skill tree (27% block)
Rigwald's Command (10% block)

you could easily get the couple more points from jewels
