Q1 : I don't get defenses in this game. My dudu has goodberry so it has 230K armor and 15K life, and can survive easily in most dungeons, also it has OP skills. But how should i survive with my amazon, which only has 6K life and 30K armor? It just seem unbalanced. I tried to read some bowazon guides how to stay alive, also with that ecstasic frenzy, but couldn't find the answer.
So, How should chars with low def and life stay alive? Whats the main thing i missed? Because now i'll probably roll another dudu just because goodberryes..

Q2 : What are some good, viable item-only damaging skills which worth to build around? I couldn't find a list.

Q3 : I'd like to roll some fun melee char, but only if it has good survivability, life, def. Which class should i choose?
(just got this amulet, wanna use it with some char)

6k life on a bowazon is low. Get more with socketing perfect rubies (be sure you have Paragon). Things like high %slow target, crushing blow and IAS breakpoint are essential to safely play EF bowazon.

There are some handy item-only skills, but for other chars. If you're playing bowazon, stick to Barrage/Wyrmshot.

Unholy melee paladin (blood knight) has both high life and defence. He can also use that Klaatu amulet through the whole game, btw. Many barb builds also can have high life and defence.

@ 1 . use paragon (life/gem equiped ) untill you can acces godlike gear + most charms that can get you to + 10k hp in end game (when you can respec to curare for more damage) . Get some life leech + slow your opponents , either by using DH or Spellblind or SoR proc . Put a safe distance between you and your enemies that deal heavy damage , using Phalanx . It auto- shoots instead of you while you can run/dodge incoming damage .

@ 2 . there is a list with all item only skills in the docs . about 20% of them are worth using / doing a build arround them / use them as support or secondary skills but nobody ever made a list with those because it's ...let's say "well known" (by old players) what oskills are good and which of them are "meh" . you will find a part of those in the miniguides inside my compilation

@ 3 . any melee barbarian / holy melee / melee necro / treewarden / traprat / spear amazon

Is it possible to get +skill on jewels? I could have sworn I've seen it but I spent a shitload of gold rerolling last night and I didn't get a single one of them.

Is there a way I can change the brown lettering to be different color than the yellow lettering on items? Hard to tell the difference.

There are at least 3 easy ways and the easiest one is to use pluggy.
