Defense overall need Re-work, I gave up... Please add a Defensive Talent Tree

After watching this video on youtube I got depressed, I was getting one-hit by everything at the endgame and it started to get tedious and not fun at all, I gave up... I'm almost level 82, tried every (reasonable) build... 90% evasion, dead, cap all resistances at 60% - 75%, dead, 55%+ physical damage reduction, dead, all together, dead, dps wise there's no problem in that department, its fine and fun but the amount of BS that one-hit-kills me is stupid as hell and its not fun... you have to be like 20+ levels above the recommended to feel somewhat bearable and if the only option is to make a build as ridiculous as in this video I'm out. They need to fix defense, armor, damage reduction values...

There's also another video where a guy for some reason has a 9k shield... because defense is awful in this game, but not all classes have access to energy shield talents, so most of us are screwed.

If you, the developers, are so proud of your talent tree design, my recommendation is to create another skill talent tree, but only for DEFENSE passives. Every 2 points in our regular tree is 1 point in the defense talent tree. There's no need for the defense talent tree to be that big. Passives like have way way more health or energy shield +500, +800, +1200, +2000, total damage negation +5%, +10%, +20%, and please no that bs of the % of % that various things in this game have. Passives like Being able to survive with 1% HP in case some extreme attack hits us. Long CD i-frame passives that allow us to survive or do something in short windows to counterattack. Making a single mistake and dying is just dumb and not fun at all.

I feel like the only option is to pick a class I didn't pick with access to OP stuff with unreasonable builds because it would require an insane amount of no life just playing the game to instant-kill everything before it hits you, or give yourself somehow a huge energy shield that doesn't matter anymore.

I feel like my effort was wasted, my time was wasted because no matter what I do I will die from things I didn't even know or see coming in a second with no chance to fight back, all the investment and enjoyment I made playing this game is now an utter disappointment at the endgame.
