Best defense for Witch?

Whats the best way to improve an Arc Witch's survivability? At level 76 and doing level 66 maps I feel like I am taking huge amounts of damage sometimes especially from physical attacks.
I don't die often but that's mainly because my Zombies are good meat shields. I don't have any armor and my evasion rating is about 350.

3150 life
3100 mana
max resists

Should I buy a Cloak of Defiance for mind over matter? I have no idea how to mitigate some of the damage that I receive especially from some unique map bosses like new Brutus and Defiler boss.

Any suggestions are appreciated.



is what usually use.
We tested it extensively
I play life shield hybrid usually aiming for 4k life & 4k shield by the time I'm level 70-80.

I'm guessing if you only have 3k life then you must have a shit ton of armor/evasion or another way to mitigate damage.

If you've not got any other form of defense then yeah you will feel VERY squishy in maps with 3k
Blasphemous HC-SSF Path of Exile 2 enjoyer.

You seem to have a lot of mana, why not go for the MoM node, the one which makes some of your damage taken come from mana.
