Defenses in Path of Exile (Understand the 3.16 Changes) + PoB Life-Hack for Finding Tanky Builds
Many changes to core defensive mechanics (armour, evasion, dodge and block) coming our way, but did you know how they interact with each other? Probably not, right? Once you've understood how they play together, you can start dying less and survive endgame bosses even better!
The amount of this things that happen when you take damage might look a bit intimidating at first, which is why I'm breaking every step down for you. Also, I'll comment on some of the 3.16 changes and how I think they will influence builds.
If you watch until the end, you will also learn my go to trick when I want to find tanky characters before I've even played them by using Path of Building. :-)
