Best type of defense?
|
Is there a "best" combination of defenses in the game?
List: Pure Armour Armour/Evasion Pure Evasion Evasion/Energy Shield Pure Energy Shield Energy Shield/Armour Also, how worth it is it to put points into the hybrid passive defense nodes? Examples Faith & Steel, Leather & Steel, Nullification? Thank you. |

Where is using a friend as a living walking meatshield? :)
after all I don't have to outrun kole, I just have to outrun everyone else on my team.... lol And ya, that is a offway of saying using decoys, crowd control (temporal chains and conversion trap), kiting and damage sponge minions to soak my damage for me. You can also add in molten shell, enduring cry and all the other damage mitigators as well. Last edited by Jiero#2499 on Nov 27, 2013, 8:45:26 PM

Id say life then add some armor (about 2l) then about (6-10k) evasion add few endurance charges and get AA and you are set to go and if you can add some block chance. IMO this is the best defense.
SO overall life with little armor and lots of evasion plius arctic armour and if you can use shield. |

ES based build with high block + aegis aurora, then choose whatever you like, EVA/Armor/Hybrid, just use a few end_charges + granite/jadeflasks, then you also get ghost reaver etc + blind/enfeeble
evoila tankiest build there is (need Ci though or shav, well whatever can even go hybrid life/ES) In my opinion What can never be lent or earned? Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? Last edited by Spysong192#7559 on Nov 27, 2013, 8:43:30 PM

" is usless without armour. |

" Ya sure, should have been more correctly on that. You can´t go full evasion. My bad. But what do you say about that woman trying to eat strawberry cake? :) ALSO do you think my thesis is correct or have a better "tanky" build? Just curious. :) What can never be lent or earned?

this so far work fine for me. CHEAP too.
max block (low-life) with Daresso's Courage. 40% dodge, 30% spell dodge 30% evasion + Ondar's Guile Mind Over Matter, max res extra: Cloak of Flame or Lightning Coil. (don't have yet) extra: (7)Frenzy life regen (Blood Dance:)) + 3.5 from passives extra: instant recovery pot on low-life extra : 5 endurance charge extra: cwdt+immortal call+increase duration+ my tree:
Spoiler
was thinking of dropping avoid status with reduced mana cost...

Best defense in order of effectiveness:
1. Damage. If you can kill it before it attacks, you don't need any survivability. 2. Utility. Freeze Mine + Added Cold Damage + Cold Penetration = Enemies don't move. If they can't attack you, you don't take damage. Disabling abilities like Enfeeble, Temporal Chains, Conversion Trap, and so on are priceless. This can also include a Rejuvenation Totem, Decoy Totem, Shockwave Totem, Summon Skeletons, Summon Zombies, and more. 3. Evasion. Not only do you take no damage against attacks, you can double its effectiveness with a single point: Ondar's Guile. 4. Armor. You simply take less damage and because you take less damage you are stunned fewer times and for a shorter duration. 5. Deep hit point pool. You can take quite a few hits. This is better than large amounts of recovery since a single shot can put a shallower hit point character down. 6. Fast recovery. This can be anything from literal recovery speed from stun, chill, freeze, and such, to anything like regeneration and leeching. If you can recover more than you lose, you're golden. |

" 1# 5. 2# 6. 3# 3./4. 4# 2. 5# 1. Assuming we´re talking about every kind of mob and not only whites. Last point though is a conjunction though with 2# depending on how much you rely ond LL and GR etc etc What can never be lent or earned?
