So this is why tanks can't tank?

You can tank, use Enfeeble and Temporal Chains + Endurance Charges + Block + Evasion/Armor.

I was facetanking most of the mobs/bosses on Merciless with my Acrobatics Ranger.

Also you need like milions of health/heath regen to survive more than 2-3 hits.

I think you know what I mean by "tanking" in this game.

Standing in melee range and surviving while dishing out melee damage.
I dunno, I seem to do well with the armor and health that I have. I am kind of afraid that if armor is improved, my Marauder wont ever die.
Bullshit, you get the game for free.

Don't really get the "u need to stack hp" argument. I'm at lvl 72 now farming maps and sitting around 1800hp / 600 ES. Died like twice the last week and only from physical reflect. And that's just lazyness from me not checking the rare mob before I fire my 3000 dps EK into a pack of 25 skeletons :P

If I were to play hardcore I would stack more HP but that's just the nature of HC. Would love for them to make evasion a bit more useful though.

In merciless that is.


got 1.7k armor (~15% dmg reduction) which is close to nothing.

They aren't a problem as I said.


Enfeeble and endurance cries works 10X better than the lackluster armour system.

Feels boring to play a game where most mechanics are partially hidden (part of why I hated D3). Wouldn't it be better if there were some official page with all the mechanics laid out? After all, this game is catering more towards serious players instead of the casual demographic group.


So, have you read the mechanics thread? There is zero mystery on how armor works.


Edit: decided to link to it http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707


So armor gets some pretty drastic diminishing returns after 1000 it looks like, based on the charts in that link, right?

So we should shoot for 1000 armor or so, then invest in life, right? Am I understanding this correctly?

We're talking about melee, not the easymode ranged
