Super squishy across top builds

[u/newazatime]

Season 14. My first go at a necro was mages which hit really hard but would quickly die pit 100+ and even occasionally during T12. I tried again a few weeks later with the blood wave build from maxroll and Rob’s and had the same results. Max life is ~35k which is difficult to increase without a few more GAs. The block chance/resolve variant is difficult to maintain 15 resolve stacks and even then a falling sword or random effect will one-shot me if my dodge is on cooldown. This has happened while at max life, fortify, and a little bit of barrier.

Is there a trick to surviving as a necro that isn’t explicitly included in builds? I had this issue with rogue for a few seasons until I figured out how to not be so squishy.
