Where are those 'one-shot deadly' mechanics people complain about & opinion that armour is weak?

My first character was an armour/life based witch and with no frame of refrence I just assumed everyone was correct that armour had no real value and stacking massive ES was better.
I then made a second witch with ES as its main defense. They're both level 92 now.

I can confirm that armour works- but ES is easier to scale early on.

Here's my armoured witch doing a t16 breach while getting bashed in the face over and over:

it doesn't have the clear speed of spark, but im swarmed by mobs and the biggest threat is my own infernal flame.

*I do still get one shot from time to time.

My build is made to stand still and hold the line no matter what is going on around. I got bored with my screen-clearing build, so I wanted to create something with a campaign-like, slow playstyle. It ended up being a very tanky build with high health regen and 900k Magma Barrier DPS (op skill level scaling is another topic).

I don't feel weak at all.

Hi OP, can you please post your build so that we can benefit from this? Thank you!

Edit:
Hi OP, I went back to check the youtube a second time and realised that you have posted your build on the comments section. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your build OP ;)

Friendly question: Did you Trade for your gear? :):)
