-Armour is useless, especially against one shots (which is the vast majority of deaths)
-You cant get life on the tree, you just waste all your points stacking strength
-If youre lucky you can get 5.5k life and have no points left for offense, still wont matter though
-You can try to get Maximum Res to around 83%, still barely makes a difference
-Block is fine for mapping, but against bosses, elemental dmg, and general one shots it wont help and isnt reliable.
After doing everything in my power to stack as much defense as possible just to avoid random one shots, you cant do it. Meanwhile, casters run around with 20k ES and snipe the whole map from afar and one tap bosses out of existence. It feels absolutely miserable playing warrior right now. You constantly get one shot, and all your attacks take forever to go off, and leave you standing there vulnerable. GGG said the whole purpose of PoE 2 was to rework the combat system and specifically address the melee situation, well its an absolute failure. Actually, I think melee is worse in this game than it is in PoE1. It's baffling how they screwed it up so bad.
