with like 3 * lvl 40 green block stones, your already blocking tons of stuff XD
u dont really need more then 1800 block anyway
if you wanna pve then sure, but in pvp I quickswap between sword/board and greatsword, and ive noticed blunting just doesnt cut it, you need to drop em quick.
And im only lvl 35 templar, but i just gained 7388 AP last night alone by 1v1 ganking all night

100~332 AP per kill :3
