I just died to a fractured Eye Hatchery

I had 1386 life in normal difficulty with 75% fire resists, meleeing with Ice Crash, and all I know is that when I killed a fracture eye hatchery, I died in two eye-explosions combos, couldn't even move away from the first combo. Potions didn't heal any fast and one of them was a 2786 healing potion over 8 seconds.

I've never made it past act 4 normal without dying ever since it was introduced, but I had made it to end cruel before.

I've died to Triskeriaki, to Hammerstorm, to Malachai, to Saplings. In short, I hit a sudden barrier in normal act 4 that is preventing me to even advance to cruel act 1.

I know I'm not the best player out there, but I used to get past normal difficulty pre act 4, and even reach late cruel difficulty before it started getting tough for me, but now I can't even get past act 4 in normal.

Some act 4 monster balancing should be taken care, in my opinion.

monsters is balance .... learn build character and you can play on sc version

I recall my death to Hammerstorm was with my bow Marauder, and I had 1900 life on him! 1900! It went down really fast, I got stunned for no reason whatsoever when fighting him and life just poof all of a sudden. I was not lagging, I felt permastunned trying to run away. Given that everything else in that level could barely damage me, I find it unfair.

Act4 is blatantly overpowered, it's true. Can't give you any advice except get more levels and better gear. Yes, after beating Malachai you'll be running all the way to a3cruel half asleep but we have what we have.
