Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Are defense abilities to weak?

You can use a tanky/support build also without being able to force enemies to attack you. Not as well as a classical tank of course.

You can position in a way that there is a higher chance that you get attacked. You can heal and buff and cc and at the same time deal some more constant damage. And the tanky char lives longer and can possibly ressurect (although I hate using scrolls for this). I think a group with some Morning Person talents is unbeatable.

As far as I remember the only time my main (Necro/Hydro/Poly/Warfare) died was when Radeka cast Shackles of Pain on him and he had to to help the group.
