hp vs energy shield, dodge vs armor
|
1. should you focus on 1 thing or both?
in diablo3 you need little bit of everything. but this game with all the %hp or % shield passive maybe is better to focus on only hp or only shield. 2. my next question is armor/dodge/res same above dodge/armor/res little bit of both or all the way max 1 thing 3. is there anything else that will increase ehp? | |

Energy shield can replace health entirely if you build for it, but due to the fact that chaos damage (found mostly in Act 2 at the moment) bypasses energy shield, you'll want to have a decent health pool to back it up.
Same goes for the other two primary defenses, really - you need health to back it up. Resistances are more situational than armor/evasion/energy shield, but as you progress through the difficulties you'll have to pay more attention to them (through gear and passives). Unlike the primary defenses, resistances are straight percentages, and capped at 75%. Armor, evasion, and energy shield all have their own strengths and weaknesses; the short version is that energy shield is good against burst/spike damage, armor is good against sustained damage, and evasion is good against status effects.

" Depends on build " Armor vs evasion depends on build / character type. All characters need resistance to elemental damage. |
