Damage Resist More or less the most important defensive stat in the game Diablo 4 Items. Overall damage reduction is hugely important, and if you get something like 20-30% damage reduction from Close enemies, as wudijo says, that’s practically a legendary affix by itself.
Armor Also hugely important. Shown off in the video is one of the best defensive perks in the game where dealing damage can increase your armor by up to 50%. I believe this usually (only?) rolls on helmets, and it’s what you’ll want there above most everything else besides uh, Shako.
+ Life Life % is not as good as just adding life values to your total. At higher levels you can almost double your life total with just a few gear items.
Topaz Armor Gems This is reduction against damage while crowd controlled, where the vast majority of death happens. At the highest gem level you can get 50% damage reduction here.
Sapphire Armor Gems This is damage reduction while Fortified, only applicable to certain builds, like mine, where now I have 30% damage reduction while Fortified thanks in part to these gems.
Skull Jewelry Gems Again, you do not want any of the elemental resists as gems in here outside of extremely select circumstances cheap Diablo IV Gold. Skulls give you armor, and that’s what you want here.
