I have to agree with this one. If you kill the enemy so fast that they can't hit you back, it's one thing. But a lot of the fights like the Adamantite Golem (and especially the monsters in Throne) are going to take longer and you're going to get hit in the process.

In RPGs I generally think of invincible builds where you max out your AC / Dodge / Defense / what have you to be unhittable to be a lot more powerful than just trying to maximize attack damage.
