I mean, you can reach max block with those items without glancing blows.

I was looking into a build with no block stacking at all, only Glancing Blows, Mystic Bulwark and Bone Offering (Bone Offering lvl21 and Mystic Bulwark give enough spell block to reach the cap after Glancing). I played a Trickster with Glancing and enjoyed it a lot

I'm not a big fan of GB because you always take damage. Against big monsters and bosses, the blocked hit can be really heavy. If the boss can hit for 10k, you take 5k even if you block! If you have pure block, you take 0 damage.

But block is not so important for summoner because minion have 100% DPS uptime. You can move your necro out of danger and keep DPS. Don't need to facetank or have 0 dps. For example, if you see porcupines, just send spectres to attack and stay back. Another build needs to face tank the explosion.

Also you can scale spectre DPS so high now. You can clear or offscreen clear the map and don't worry about taking damage. So, I think it's better to get a good amount of block, but don't take spectre things like GB, etc. Then try to scale damage (or freeze/shatter!).

Maybe at start of mapping when DPS is low, block is more useful.

I guess, in the end it's a matter of playstile and comfort, and there is no *best option*

I'm doing similar with EB/MoM. I got feedback about out of mana (es) problems and also had it myself. When taking hits, there is no more ES to cast anything. So can't use flame dash or dash to get away. Many times I felt like I was geting hit and my flame dash won't work!

3.11 passive tree is actually more like 3.9 passive tree :D

This will hurt I guess?
"Critical Strike Multiplier values have been lowered from almost every passive, as well as from some items. Critical-based characters far-exceeded non-critical characters later in the game; this will bring the two a little closer together."

MoM version, for me, is with Aul's amulet and based on mana, not es, with a mana pool of about 60% of the life pool, a Hybrid and a Mana Flask. This is ofc very costly, but with The Agnostic there it is the ultimate tankiness option. Top left side of the tree has a lot of mana nodes, so scaling it would not be a problem.

Minions have no crit strike or crit multi on the passive tree. So we're completely fine!
