You can improve your toughness with paragon points. You can invest them in either Resist All or Armor. But it's not really that much you get from paragon points. For 100 All resist you'd need to get to paragon level 99 for example.I've only just gotten to level 70. To be honest I've not really been laying attention to stats at all. If I see a weapon or piece or armour with green arrows I generally equip them.
I'm reading about toughness points at the moment, is this something I can level using paragon points?
Also I think that the toughness stat can be a bit misleading. I think Life is overvalued in the toughness calculation. Stats that mitigate damage (allresist, Armor for example) are IMO more valuable than Vitality or %Life.
Of course you should look to get some amount of Life but at some point it gets too much (weird as it sounds). Overall you should look to get a good balance between Armor, Allresist and Life.
What really boosts your damage after getting to level 70 is trying to get a good critical hit chance (40-50%) and critical hit damage.
Critical hit damage should roughly be 10 times your critical hit chance (for example 45% critical hit chance and ~450% critical hit damage).
That is also the reason why people only use weapons with a socket and a green gem (which is the first gem to be upgraded to max quality) in them because they boost your critical hit damage (a decent gem gives you over 100% critical hit damage) massively.
