What are the recommended perks, if any, for a 2h wielder?

Right hand side of the tree...the left hand side is pretty much for shields.

With 2H, you get the bash, you get the deadly bash bonus, and you get the slow time...

Deflect arrows is totally useless, they'll hit you anyway. Also only spend 1 perk in shield wall as it is also useless.

Did you read any of the thread? Deflect Arrows raises blocking to max effectiveness.

As someone who always plays mage because it's my favorite, I made a warrior build so I could learn about it and it's the Block skill that makes it fun. I haven't taken too many perks but I can do a power bash and I did take Deflect Arrows so I guess it's pretty powerful from what you're saying. All I know is that it's fun and I'm no great warrior. Two hits with a shield and a hit with an axe and I'm doing ok. Thanks for these tips from me too. :tes:

No and no.

Yes, it does. It's been established by people looking into the game's code, and verified by numerous people firsthand (including myself), that taking the perk sets damage reduction to the maximum, which is 85%. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Block#Deflect_Arrows_and_Shield_Wall

You couldn't be bothered to read 6 posts into this thread?

Yeah, it works. I've never seen anyone argue otherwise until that elegant rebuttal.

only get deflect arrows if your gonna get anything.Block perks are acually really bad and buggy.Shield charge gives out on a player anytime after you get it.Deflect arrows makes all damaage negate by 85% since the game cant tell if your getting hit by arrows or not.Elemental protection is dumb since you can find magic resist in quests,stones,race,or you can enchant resist gear.shield wall is useless and the power bashing takes up too much stamina.So really none of them are any decent except for block runner.Block runner allows you go full speed even while crouching if you hold up your shield.But to get to that,you gotta spend useless perks.Overall,i wouldnt advise going into the block perk tree even if your blocking.
