Ack & Brunt is already good. Melee blocking post-U18 was pretty horribly nerfed, but Sword & Shield weapons have the highest blocking damage reduction in the game now. Since nobody is seriously considering Silva & Aegis until that gets a serious buff, Ack & Brunt is the only game in town.

Combine the very high damage reduction with the fact that it's a good berserker weapon, and you have a melee you can actually go full melee against Lv80's with.

As for this mod. Well, it's not a bad choice on a Valkyr. Use this when you're out of energy (along with Rage) to get your energy back up faster, gets you back into Hysteria faster. Combinded with the damage reduction blocking on the Ack & Brunt has anyway and it's also a fairly safe mod to use.
