No there aren't.
Not if you know how to build correctly a character ( not godlike, just correct ) and are not too bad at the game.

And if you know that Ice Nova chests should be run from as fast as possible.

You would need an ice nova + "+ x level" of the chest in a high level map for it to get it close to turning into a one shot ( or -mins max ) and ....
It is not out of the blue.
If you open a box unidentified ( I always do, still I never rip to Ice nova from it, or from other "out of the blue" one shot ), then you should be expecting anything to come out of it.

Agreed, stupid insta death bullshit because of auto log = remove, to hell with this, my gameplay doesn't deserve to be destroyed because of n00bs/cheaters using macros, fix it through other means.

Severe XP penalty enforcing shaped strands > well then, better give a fuckton more xp/other rewards for farming t14+ and high end bosses. OR.... remove the death penalty.

W/e the solution is, something must be changed.

Well yes, one shots don't exist if you avoid all telegraphed attacks and spend a third of your passives on increased life.
