How much difference is in character survivability through base stats?

So atm I'm growing tired of how fragile Silo is.
Granted I have specced fully into Max HP/Weapon damage
Though his two main abilities are too clunky to land and the animation lock causes some issues occasionally, but getting one shot in the Tundra map is no fun.

Obviously Wingrave has a lot more survivability due to defensive skills, but I wonder how tanky he is from straight up levels compared to Silo/Niss/Gladiator chick.

I feel like defenses aren't really worth it right now. Better to go full offense. You get hit less if you kill the enemy faster.

if you use wingraves slash+shield slam combo he is basically unkillable in most content lol
so yes, he is STUPID tanky, if you want a good mix of DPS and Survivability, Venomess is the best atm imo.. with constant dots and hots, she can dish out and take a whuppin.

Without affinities (presumably):
Wingrave lvl 30 has about 1500 base HP.
Silo lvl 30 has about 500 base HP.

I'm not including damage reduction since I dunno how it's calculated anyway. But yeah, Wingrave is tankeir in that area too.

So that's quite a difference. But I'm barely lvl 10 and am already getting echoes with flat HP bonuses of around 200.

So if you want some survivability with squish Wayfinder you definitely have to build for it.

Niss is around 900 HP which seems to be the medium value. Squishy characters will have about 1/3 defenses of tanks and medium about half. Also, some have higher natural magical/physical defense.

deppends on what character you play,but overall if the character is intended to do dmg,you go for dmg and if its intended to tank you go for tank

The oil grenade misses all the time, the fire grenade (somehow) is way more accurate/helpfull, though. But I see what you are talking about. Even the Ransom rifle is "hit or miss" (pun intended) and sometimes it does nothing at all... you can call it "Random"

And yeah... Silo is my first and only char, and I hate the damn tundra.
Maybe I should specc fully into HP and both Defenses to focus on spaming emotes, so Silo would be a "cheerleader" or "dancer" class" ...Ironically he is a "survivalist"
