The best defense is a good offense. Enemies can’t hurt you if they’re dead.
The other side of that coin is dead dps is no dps. If you can’t survive, you need to learn mechanics and/or adjust your build so you can survive better.
Keeping both of these lines of thought in mind, offense usually wins out over defense because killing faster results in more enemies dying, faster clear times, and bigger numbers, which most people tend to prefer. Defensive stats/skills lose value when they’re not being used, where offensive stats/skills always have value.
