I'm not bashing this game; if I would do that I'd go around screaming in l33t-speak about how this game sucks.
All I'm asking is how to get through encounters where enemies do ludicrous ammounts of unavoidable damage, as one cannot form strategems when enemies have "player go dead now" abilities.

Hidden in your post is the advice of pumping vitality. Sure, I'm willing to give that a go. But I've been putting one point in there practically every level. Do I need to just put all 4 points in there and ignore everything else? What's the magic ratio that gives me enough health while still giving me a good amount mana, resistances, etc?
