ES is the best to make a tanky character?
|
Like for example if i invest into shields or into life or maybe both, maybe a lot of armor ES would still be better?, i want to make a character like this but i am wondering if i should consider other alternatives before going ES.

The best way to make a tanky character is to dish out enough damage to kill whatever is hitting you before you have to tank anything.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

For now... that seems to be the case. But if I've learned anything about this game is that it changes.

" Yeah... but i doubt it will change soon, Melee has been trash tier for a long time and that includes life, i think my witch would have been WAY better with ES than investing in life nodes seriously. Another problem i find is the one-shots i think this should not be in the game because this makes life, or block builds even more garbage. | |
" Hes not trolling hes being serious. Too much monster damage to mitigate everything. At a certain threshold of defense it pays to stop investing and go full offense. ProbablyGettingNerfed - L100 Occultist

Full offense + instant leech is the way GGG wants you to do it. In soviet wraeclast, there is no 'traditional' arpg tank. (ranged not melee)

Well i know and that sucks, specially with the one-shots but let's say im a really stubborn person (i am) and i still want to make a tanky character, would ES be the way to go or other means of defense are viable like shield block, life... idk.
Please, i mean i know the game is really dogshit like that with how unbalanced are some playstyles like melee being trash compared to ranged etc. but just focus on the question i made. Last edited by frenrihr on Apr 22, 2017, 10:53:20 AM

meh I dunno. I played a max block life based gladiator this league and it felt pretty damn tanky. I could afk and auto kill trash/some bosses up to t15. The main problem that affects "tanky-ness" for life based builds is elemental damage. Phys dmg is no problem.
