parry . parry gives u much more dmg reduction than anything else. In general u need thoughness parry and spell resistance + good items on a tank and he is unkillable. I didn`t find mele doing any dmg even dual wield with mele 12 blademaster 8 lethal 8 and maxed strength. Maybe if u will get some special items it becomes important but u will need to search every fu...ncy corner of map or play with a walkthrough. I didn`t make it so it is onlky my guess.

I just finished this game on torment level with a created by myself party and i feel a bit weird about the difficulty and game design. First chapter is crazy hard - one shooted is a common state. Took me ages to went through it. first 5 levels is actually a torment. Chapter 2 is easier but still i was not able to reach some areas. Chapter 3 is a cakewalk. When u go out to normal world ( or rather teleported) the game starts to be open world and ....become disappointing easy. I was playing with 2 pure mages, pure priest and mele/priest. Second problem which i see every mob has 90 % physical damage reduction what is a big lol and afterall i used mele/priest only to heal/buff and where there was no need for those the best choice was to skip a turn - this is a big lol. Normal mages summons are more usefull then your main mele characters...... so my idea is that the game should be a bit redesigned: low levels areas should be easier and higher levels more tricky ( or however to put it)
