Passive Tree - Need More Tank Nodes

I would like to propose to the developers to add a few more tank nodes to the passive tree, such as flat life, all resistance, damage reduction, etc. This would allow players to build a tanky character and offers more build diversity.

Yeah PoE 1 has this and I have no idea why literally all hp nodes got deleted off the skill tree in this game. It just makes every build look the same, everyone has 1-2k hp by end of campaign yet every white mob can hit you for 30% or more of your hp lol

Scaling your life only based off leveling up and a few life prefixes on gear is boring. If people can scale their ES on tree why not life too? It makes no sense.

ive been trying to play melee in maps both as monk and warrior - while making them as tanky as possible, not the ranged versions and its practically impossible.

Also most warrior abilities has a "wind up time" that u can get stunned out of by tanking an arrow to the knee wich happens alot lol.

The fact that the game is balanced around the dodge roll makes melee's just be bad sadly. This has to change or melee builds will forever be bad.

Making your character tanky was a build defining thing in poe 1 and it was fun, here it doesnt work at all.

Agreed, would like to see tanky nodes available for the warrior atleast.

I quite agree, tanks aren't resistant. I think it's to force players to use the roll movement. Personally I want to play a hack'n slash not a dark soul. Very BIG increases are necessary on this point.

I am playing blood witch and was planning on life stacking since this can increase my damage. 2.4K life does not sound like I am able to stack any life :D

Due to no life on tree blood witch feels like awful since you cannot go CI

There are enough very strong tank nodes on the tree. You can easily stack like 200% more armor and energy shield with under 10 points. Not sure what you are looking for?

What about bonuses to flat life? Still getting one shotted by bosses, therefore tanking does not exist.
