With some evasion you can stay alive maybe 1 more second, but its only for showcase. Maybe im wrong, but it seems armor builds only viable

If anything this clip just shows that stacking only life ain't gonna get you anywhere. There are still many ways to buff your defensive layers up and honestly the nerf for phys taken as elemental damage was just more than overdue.
They should also cook some changes for cloak of flame and lightning coil and dawnbreaker along the way for the next league to put an end to the taken as era.

Yea I mean I have done fine, ubers and what not, and never touched those stats at all so its not like its required by all means. I think I like that they are dialing it back a bit. Something I would like to see with spell suppression, another mechanic I havent used since I played TR WAY back lol.

But I dont know if they plan on moving away from it entirely, they just added endritch implicits for them. I like the happy medium, reduce it but not destroy it.

Its a necessary change for the game, phys as ele was redic busted because it allowed an elementalist to have more EHP then any of the "tank" classes.

then adjust elementalist not everyone else

Welcome to 9 out of every 10 GGG balance decisions.

It was still busted for many other classes as well, pathfinder or any ranger for that matter. Plus with them making + max res easier to access it would be even harder to balance this with 100% phys as ele being possible.
