White monsters should not be a threat(with high investments in gear defense wise)
" Having big es pool doesn't mean you tanky when you have no ways to recover it other than recharge that require taking no damage. I can be more tanky on chronomancer with 4k es because i can get 100%+ life recoup and turn it into ES recoup with that new body armor, so i would recover more es than i take damage, allowing me to actually stay afk surrounded by lots of mobs until somehow they oneshot me. You have very little understanding of what defense is, as well as little understanding of the game when you say that mobs should do 50 damage before mitigation, making it actually pointless to invest anything into defense because 50 damage is nothing. Standing afk in 3-4 packs of mobs is incredibly dumb when you have no es recovery. |

" in poe 1 i can build insane mitgation and around 3-4k es regen(% es regen watcher,%life regen watcher, vitality, 2% es regen mastery, and mageblood with % life regen on flask ) with build that has es pool in 25-30k es borders, in this situation i never saw my es drops even for 1k from whitemobes ever. its what any build at the top of tree can do, trickster has force uninterrupted es recharge on suppress which can give another 3+k es recover per second |

4k ES regen is easy enough to get, the issue is it doesn't bypass recharge start under any circumstances that i know of and that's what's killing you
PoE2 does have a big advantage over PoE1 though, a pause button so you can go off and do whatever without anything hitting you at all |

" why i should make other character with specialised defense against white monsters if they are not rewarding>>>?? whats the points to overcome this challenge? you have too little understanding what balance is and making specialised character to avoid challenge white mobes provide is dumb. " i have 27 less damage mitigation and i have no options to mitigate it further in tree or in gear, there should be other options to mitigate it to numbers that will not matter at all, otherwise balance is bad and game is unfun |

ive died more to Solar Priests of screening me with their 8 second cyclops lazer beam then bosses
This npc can go to hell and the fact its off screening you is bullshit |

" exactly, lich has no option to recover es under taking damage (if dont disable recharge by eternal youth and focus all recovery on life flask which will recover 1500-2000es per second under damage with focused investment which is bad decision, cause too much gear need to change and gameplay based on life flask spam is unfun), examples from es regen are from poe 1, any class from the top side of the tree(top left,top,top right) can invest in es regen and be protected against white mobs. and there is no option to just mitigate damage high enough to have like 20-30 seconds instead of 5 seconds, this is build progression, i invest divines, i want survive for longer, surviving for 5 seconds with 100d investment just doesnt feel right, its all numbers, even 15 seconds sounds fair enough(from white mobs) |

I'm sure as the unique pool progresses something will turn up that does what you want
Sounds like it already has (I wasn't aware of Sacrosanctum but it looks like it would do the job, it's cheap enough to test it out) |

" So balance is when you take no damage? But balance is bad when you take damage? Got it, fortunately your opinion will not affect decisions made by GGG regarding game balance. I'm not saying that you should make other character, i'm saying your defenses not work when you stay in middle of 20-30mobs for 5 seconds with ZERO es recovery. Do you understand?

" yes, you invest in defense - you take less and less damage from white mobs until they stop being problem at all, when you invest in defense and white mobs still shred you in 5 seconds with no mods - balance is bad, fortunately solving this problem for ggg is only question of time and their own testing, i did my thing and pointed at problem, i have no doubts with new uniques and tree changes will solve it with time or any other ways, this is inevitable and this what will be. |

" There, you biggest mistake. Offense > Defense, you won't have to deal with threats if there is no threat. Damage > Speed / Clear > Enough defense, your formula to success. |
