As swordback is used mainly against casters would it not then be better to use non-upgraded with a higher damage jewel?
Yes and no.
yes, higher dmg jewel would be better if you're not using it vs a char u need defense for. (bowa, barb, charger).
but that said raw dmg on a 3 os shield will be better overall than OW. so you'd likely want like a +72 max artisans kite shield of deflecting OR equilibrium.
