They do. Level 8 I was getting over 100 for Fortify on Red who doesn't have an iota of intelligence.

Scrolls are consumables.

Furthermore, item progression and skill progression by extrapolation will out pace damage.

For example, at level 8 you're able to achieve 400-600 Armor of any kind.

There are also other abilities that remove CC effects and some consumables that give Armor. Specifically a mushroom that gave me +86 armor on consumption.

Currently, if you are forced to use consumables to keep up a CC immune state then that's a good thing since it's one of the few things that taxes consumables. Otherwise, it's all just vendor gold.
