The thing is its better to be bad in health than terrible in both defense and res. You can get an angelice robe for 7 health and almost nobody has terrible health except for lucius, serra and prescilla. On the other hand almost everybody have very bad res. I only have 2 charcters with good res and 2 that are acceptable, all others are like under 5 res. A mage with fire can one shot them with a crit lol.
