With Diablo 4 significant shifts in game balance and character defenses, it's paramount to grasp the intricacies of these changes to ensure your survival in the treacherous lands of Sanctuary. In this guide, we will demystify the resistance rework, armor mechanics, and provide you with actionable tips to build a tanky character capable of withstanding the onslaught of enemies.
