Armour, Evasion, Energy Shield, How to balance this game?

As you can see Energy Shield is currently far more superior to Armour and Evasion in term of Defence. And I just can't understand the idea behind "Mages are tanky as hell in this game". As it is supposed to be: Strength base class should be stupidly tanky, deal heavy and slow damage at close range. Dexterity base class should do insane dps at melee range or good dps at far distance, and is also provided a kind of Defence that all we know it is evasion. Intelligence base class should be able to deal large amount of damage with huge area of effect and at very far distance, but they should also be squishy and vulnerable to melee damage which will require them to always keep the distance to their enemies as far as possible. So I'm thinking about how to balance this game, here is the solution:

First, Armour reduces all damage taken from hits (see the definition of hit here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hit).

Second, You can evade all kinds of hits.

Third, remove Chaos Inoculation which is so stupid and insanely broken (seriously? You can just literally immune to Chaos damage, the strongest, hardest to mitigate type of damage).

If, you think this will make armour and evasion too overpowered, we can balance it by producing other formulas to calculate damage reduction and evading chance which will make armour and evasion much less effective than now.

You know I'm actually thankful the balance team doesn't listen to people like you most of the fucking time god dayum that would be disasterous.

Then I can profile attack you cool people do that and your char is 84 so it's like huh alright the guy has no experience and hes trying suggest stuff.

Then I'm like huh alright if this guy posted on reddit GGG would surely have listened to him be downvoted either works really.

I think removing chaos innoculation is a bad idea, but I do agree that armour should work against elemental damage and you should be able to evade spells or spell crits at least. That would help a lot and be more interesting than just buffing life numbers or nerfing energy shield.
Don't look at my profile and judge me by my Char level Mr.private, I have many 8x chars of many classes, I tried many builds, and done almost all kinds of end game bosses, I can confidently say that I'm really good at and have knowledge about games, and I'm also learning game developing myself, so I surely know what I'm talking about. And don't just trying to argue without pointing out any reasoning or prof.

I'm sorry but I highly doubt you have any experience in any high tier maps for that matter hence your opinion can't be well isn't really lets say not important?. Like I bet you're the type of person that goes to a youtube video right and be like LOLOL HES DOING THIS I CAN DO IT TOO but in reality no you really can't because you likely do not have the gear to do so.

So you're wanting this to be nerfed buffed etc when you have done nothing within several chars of high end stuff and you're going to be like YEAH I DID T 11S N STUFF THAT'S HIGH END.

smh smh smh so it's like really now? Probably can't even kill a guardian yet you think you can adjust and suggest stuff when you've done nothing. HE

Please, just remove ES from the game to simplify things.

Ok you can doubt anything you want Mr.prophet. Why should I care about the type of person that never say anything with reasoning? Judge other people as you want, no one needs to judge you because we all understand what type of person you are.
