You’ll have 75% block with it anyway, unless you’re doing a Vita build for some reason.

it's very much viable vs other classes/builds too.

and as stated above, amazon gets minimal hp so pumping more dex is way more beneficial than having an extra 200-300 hp.

You’ll need 244 Dexterity on a level 99 Zon using a double up’d Swordback to reach 75% block; 223 at level 90.

zons get +3 life per vita, same as assassins and pallies, below barb and above sorc/druid/necro
swapping ~350 points is the difference between 350% off-weapon ED or 1050 base life which can be ~1800-1900 total.
zons are the tankiest char in the game when build for mb/dr/dodge, but most pub bowazons run around and die in 1 hit to a volcano

Well, hes aiming for minimum of 2k unboed i guess, to do that with his eq i guess he need to save whatever dex point he can, as he aint got stats in gloves and use a magic frw circ instead of rare one who can add like a Max of 30str or dex + 60life If perf.
