Since recording the video guide I've changed some things around on the tree after finding a better place for the AtD jewel, got a megalo for Guttural Roar and anointed Swift Blocking instead. Lots of other options for the passive tree depending on whether you want to push more damage for uber arbiter or get more speed/survivability in juiced maps.

Pros:

- Oneshot pinnacle bosses
- Very tanky with active block, 90% all res, solid phys mitigation without much armour
- League start friendly (remove expensive items and can still delete t15s), Smith makes gearing super easy

Cons:

- Struggles in Simuacrum due to 'monsters remove charges on hit' mod
- Less aoe than some other warrior builds
- Weak to those big phys hits that you can just dodge if you're not half asleep

Video guide and written mobalytics guide both go over the gems, gear and passive tree in detail.

Cool build, curious though how do I level with this build?
