Interesting set of questions, I'm a newish player and I ran into tankiness issues with barb last season. Playing caster druid but hoping to switch over to Treewarden soon and hoping not to run into the same issues.

I'm wondering where true tankiness comes from. I toyed with high def and high + high but not max block (via glad's dominance) and the block definitely felt strong, but I'd still get wrecked when surrounded. So I'm wondering similar things to WReckless in terms of FBR,FHR, and maybe even Uninterrable Attack + Leech to add good recovery into the mix?

What is the true nature of tanky in MXL? :D
