What bandit for 3.0 please - Oak?

Take either Oak or help Eramir, both are OK choices, it's up to you.

For ascendency, I took the juggernaut and you indicated to take unrelenting, unbreakable and unstoppable?

How do I get unrelenting when it looks like I would have to get unflinching first?

Could someone please help me, i am currently using the sunder setup and i can barely get around 35-38k dps with flasks and ancestral warchief. If someone could please take a look at my character and see if i could do something to improve my dmg.
Thanks.

i guess you have to take it then

How much block/spell block it is expected by the endgame?

I'm guessing that the only way to get max block on this build is with Rumi's concoction? I can't see this build having 78% block chance like the duelist build can, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

78% is surely impossible as you cant wear the Anvil. I think breaking 60% block and 50% spell block without Rumi's concoction will be very tough. Or I might be mistaken?

BTW.: Any suggestions for jewels? I was thinking about Block/spellblock with shield (is the 1% worth it?) with life and maybe damage?

I think you're right about that, and you can clearly see in one of the videos he has made about this character, he only had about 55% block chance, buffed to 58% with tempest shield.
The video in question: https://youtu.be/-OloT44-II8?t=2m4s

If you trade off the Stone of Lazhwar off for The Anvil, you could bring that up to about 63% without tempest shield.
I decided not to go for any elemental damage so with my build, I'd probably only get to 61% block chance with the anvil since Agis wouldn't be as good of a shield choice for me.

I think block and spell block jewels would help out a little bit, but I would imagine you'd have to decide if it's really worth it, over some other bonuses like damage or what not.
The Reckless Defense jewel seems pretty decent, but you run the risk of getting critted slightly more often if you use it.

I decided not to go for ele dmg as well but Aegis is superb. The survivability it offers is trendemous. And changing out the amulet will drop your survivability by at least 30%. Spell block is really huge.

What you don't count in is Rumi's Concoction, which back then, when the video and this build were made, gave 30-40% block chance and 15-20% spell block chance. So you achieved max block and spell block easily.

Today, after Rumi's was nerfed twice, that is not the case anymore. Unless you play in standard.
