You can definitely get tanky enough to not get one shot by that wave with a bit of margin, even SSF, this one really isn't that much of a one-shot threat.

Right, I don't get one-shot by it, but it definitely HURTs. Better to avoid it manually than to tank it.

Like many boss attacks.

Of course, and it definitely should, not disagreeing there.
I was just pointing that if the OP got one shot by it .... something is probably wrong with either the character, or the story that he is telling.

More likely it was a map mod. Those things can get nasty FAST.

People might make mistakes, but they are usually telling the truth about one-shots or quasi-one-shots (I use CwDT+IC to avoid the latter on my <50% evasion characters). We've all experienced them.

Eh, I'll shut up now. This conversation is off-topic. Sorry, john.

I was taking this into consideration, I don't run t12+ white or blue :) ( my first corrupted crema with a nice roll had a possessed boss in it, and it didn't get close to one shotting me, it was hurting really bad though, and I had to give up because I burnt all portals at the end, but still ).
He was talking about a blue map.

I think that people often confuse a one shot, and a situation where damage sources stack and en up creating a >1s death situation and call it one shot.
The Crema boss pops some fire balls thingy and can spawn fire elemental, this + the wave hitting twice or more ( if you run in the wrong direction ) could definitely end up creating such a situation.

Some bosses can definitely one shot people, but not this one on a correctly built characters, it really doesn't.

I did beat Crematorium. blue. the fight was torture...
for starters I had to switch from my Melee to Caster Witch because he was getting 1-shot with 76% Fire Res (Life Build OP)

This is why ... something is wrong with the character, or the story imho.
But the profile is private so we cannot really tell.

Now the wave is much more unfair to melees I think, but that is another topic.
