to survive hits?
You better go full damage, as high as you can.
64% should be enough
Depends.
Zero. It's only good at low levels.

Armour is garbage because of the mitigation caps. Ironically, armour is the worst defense against high physical damage (i.e. the endgame). Because no matter how much armour you have - you are guaranteed to take at least X% of the incoming damage.

Literally every other defense mechanic in PoE 2 is better than armour. And the best defense is just raw hp (ES + life + mana/MoM). As irrational as it sounds, your Titan will be a better tank with pure ES gear than with 100,000 armour.

Look at the armor on these characters. That'll give you what you need to be super tanky (because it's hardcore league). If you don't mind dying more, you can cut back.

SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.

Even infinite amount will not protect you from Critical Kills :D :D
