I currently have 3.5k life and 52% phys reduction at level 82, which jumps to 64% with three endurance charges (generated with endurance charge on melee stun). If you're scared about running with a life pool under 5k, this might not be the build for you (unless you have godly flat phys high life tri-res rings).

Thanks for the info, it really doesn´t sound like the build that i was looking for.

My HP is around 5k so if HP is your issue I suggest you try the build and simply go for more HP nodes and good HP on gear.

Yeah, from 82 until 91 all I'm pretty much doing is picking up life nodes all around the tree. My life should be at least above 4k once that's all said and done, and it could be even higher with good gear. The % life from Meginord's should start scaling better with more levels.

As Etherfire mentioned as well, cyclone gives a lot of inherent defense by adding movement (allowing you to dodge attacks and spells) and preventing you from being stunned. Add in the fact that you can socket life leech or life gain on hit on cyclone (I currently run cyclone - blood magic - life leech - increased aoe), and you have a fairly tanky character. Perhaps it won't save you the same way that 5k+ life will when it comes to super large hits, but even against medium and medium-large sized hits I barely feel anything or can leech to full before I get hit again.

I'm running a Facebreaker variant of the build, meaning I don't really have to pick up too many additional damage clusters. I have the following passive tree at 82 (I only run grace):

thanks man! tree looks great! but you really need those resist nodes? if u get them through gear...you could save a lot of points!

Hello, Assassin2000!

about the attack defensive side,

assume we have the 60-max block,

I would like to know the difference between "ARMOR base+IR" and "EV base" character

as I m now playing the EV base Lightning strike build in ranger,

want to be more tanky!

thank you so much!!!

Just started it, is this the right passive tree to start that is linked under ur gear??
Getting bit confused... Seems like fun build, never played a tanky build so will see what happens :P

Go for as much armour as you can. To be effective, I think around 10k armour is necessary.

10k?! I only have 4.6k at level 83. How am I supposed to get all the armor nodes? I would have to sacrifice getting lots of the health nodes.

my tree I am aiming for:

Hm, that isn't very high. I shouldn't have said 10k, having 10k is ideal but not 100% necessary. Are you running Grace though? That could be the biggest difference. Also can I see your gear?

Perhaps drop 2 life nodes to pick up Armour Mastery? I think it would make a big difference. I guess it is a matter of taste, if you want more life, go for it.
