Be worry that bw debuff corporeal when single target damages so use 2 corporal talismans help a lot to avoid being melt.
Usually stack resistence auras help vs magis caster ( most of em can debuff the same value of your aura ones, so they negate each other appart from the aoe damages).
Your parry chance is block based which mean you have to stack both to have 1 good which mean have 1 very good def stat (parry) and good stat block (look to mixed defense). Use 2h is totaly not worth, more head in game you will need shield to proc a vrey strong tactic (destinated to victory).
Furthermore you can blocks attacks only when wearing a shield and you have a skill called hold the line which boost your dodge/disrupt by 45% until you channel it (and you can also move)
IF you want kite tools on the discord path (3rd from left) you have a disrupt tactic that boost your speed of 30% which also heal you, and work very good more head in the game with ap tactic (power fromt he gods) + hold the line.
Against melee stack armor, being unused talismans slot or armor potions. It may feel worthless stack both defense and armor but block/parry/dodge only work in front of you and your defense can be debuff and most likely they will ( if not ingored).
You also have a tactic (cripple strike) on the dread path (1rst from left) which also debuff damage outcoming from enemy, it require you to crit and can be cleanse but some ppl on the forum think it's op and so i wrote you about it.
This is the tanky build i use atm:

i use this primary because it give lots of tools: disrupt tactic+ wounds debuff+ buff ravage + buff seeping wounds + stag + more magis resistences the more you spent point in the path. So it have more synergy than the corrupt path for me. Later in the game you will be able to go up in 2x mastery which will make corrupt a must due to KD.
Some ppl prefer take the KD+ mixed defense alredy instead buff the discrod path and the magical resistences, which it's mroe usefull vs melee train than a stag which is better for kite or to interrupt.
About renown i reccomend to take 3x of tough, block, parry, dodge/disrupt independently from your mastery build
these builds are for rank 32 rr 40 ( if you see lv 33 in the link is because you get 1 point more at rr 40 to use in mastery)
