Well that doesnt really work well when playing warrior and needing strength and skill points in the bottom left corner of the tree. The whole point is the balance between the different defensive options and life vs es builds is way off atm. Not complaining or anything its just the way it is atm and ill keep playing around it untill they eventually fix some of these obvious issues so i can use different options and still make a strong build

You should not be able to facetank, at least that was the whole point of this creation ;D

Yup when it comes to bosses that was their intention. However in its current state even physical trash mobs can oneshot a melee char using armour which was nearly impossible in poe 1. If u stack armour in poe 2 and spend a lot of point even with a good chest u wont se many chars reach more than 20k armour unless they sacrifice a huge part of their dps on top of armour being almost 2.5 times worse at mitigating damage compared to poe 1. In poe 1 i could easily reach 200k armour while doing insane dps and now we also have to deal with mobs having armour break in poe 2 just to make it even worse. No wonder everyone play es builds this is just a bad joke atm

That I can agree with, armour stacking is totally not worth it, evasion and acrobatics is da wae.

Well never really liked evasion builds. Everything is fine while u dodge everything untill something finally hit u and BOOOM oneshot. but combined with a huge es pool it could be good
