THEORY - Tanky, Dual - Wield, Block Chance Duelist -- 2 Prismatic Eclipses



These dropped for me and made me want to make a build with high life and loads of block chance without sacrificing damage.

The skills used will be all theory and open for testing. I will test some skills myself, but i ask the public to help me decide how to make this build viable/better.

Theory skills for testing - (Sngl = Single Target)

First set
Spoiler
(aoe) Dual Strike -> Melee Splash -> LoH/LLeech -> Multistrike/Faster attacks
(sngl) Viper Strike -> Faster attacks -> Life Leech -> ???


Second Set
Spoiler
(aoe) Cyclone ( no idea what to link to cyclone, will update if someone tells me)
(sngl) Dual Strike -> Faster Attacks/MltStrk -> -> LLeech -> Phys Dmg



Gear:

Armor or Arm/Eva Gear
Maybe viable with Bringer of Rain

I also have a another build in mind where i take off IR and unwavering stance. In this instance, we stack ALOT of Arm/Eva and run Grace. This way, we have a pretty good phys dmg reduc, some chance to evade, AND block. I know evade is extremely unreliable, but i believe that only happens when you are going pure evade. In this setup, you can tank, evade, AND block. All this while using Eye of Chayula to remove Stun. If this seems like a good idea, i will come up with a 2nd build using the above criteria.

This is all just theory. I haven't had the chance to test on, nor the finance to make it yet. Positive feed back would be great on revisions of the build, skills to use and links of sup gems, and gear.

I'm running a dual prismatic eclipse unwavering cyclone Duelist with Acrobatics, Evasion and high Block. It's a lot of fun but I'm still trying to work Blind into it as my preferred method of Blinding Flame Totem requires too much Int. I'll likely keep the eclipses until I find too good physical claws for end game.
So i can see cyclone is going to be viable. But i wanted to know if these 2 swords can carry till late game.
