Why is GGG allowing "one shot" monsters?

Multiple projectiles don't all deal damage to a target if launched at the same time. Only one will deal damage.

I think 1 hit shots are very healthy and good for the game....

It's just that we would like to have an option to dodge those stuff...

Like kitava/dominus hits can 1 shot you (unless you are overlevelled/geared) at the moment you face them. But you know the mechanics and you know when to dodge. So when that hit comes. Youll move out of the way, you die? No ones fault but your own , and if it happens you know that YOU failed...

But if you die because you got hit offscreen is kinda bad, same with rare mobs. 99,99% of these mobs are trash. But because of that, you just wont read their mods at all. But that 1 rare mod that can kill you, because every thing is so fast action (which we like) kills you before you noticed or could react....

Its a pity, but I doubt theres a change which will make it better....
It will make some things better and other things worse, in most of these cases its better to leave it as it was

this is mainly for HC (or else you wouldn't care so much).

there is this archer in legion encounters

and the boss that killed ziz in this league SSF HC (and me too for that matter, that's why i'm asking this).

and some rares here and there (though haven't encountered any this league)

and just so we avoid confusion, i define "one shot" as 1 monster performs 1 action and it kills you in less than the average reaction time + some extra (like average player latency). just like ggg defines macro.

i don't care it shoots X number of arrows at once, or it throws i dunno how many bombs, or it applies a degen that drops your life instant. if you can't react to it, it's "one shot". and i mean from ONE monster and one monster only. i'm perfectly fine with more monsters killing you faster than you can react.

so... does anyone know why is ggg putting this kind of crap in the game?

and how am i supposed to "avoid" it? just don't open legion encounters (like i did this league)? or if i see a boss in blight encounter, just leave?

Plenty of mobs shotgun still it depends if it has an area associated with it, if you give goddess in plaza for example 4 extra proj you go from getting hit 5x to 25x its hilariously OP.

Also what was it that one shot Ziz? The only truly what felt like unfair death I had this league was to the lightning Synthesis boss because I don't understand its skill set. Just covered the arena with lightning and hosed me i'm sure there is a solution but hard to learn it in 10s where you die lmao

Why do you want to avoid it in the first place?

Hardcore is not about building a character that survives everything. It is about dying later than the other guys. But sooner or later you will die. Period.

If you don´t like that or can´t handle it play softcore.

Like, you aren´t hardcore if you can´t deal with that. I know I can´t, that´s why I play softcore. Cuz I´m soft, that´s just how it is. I aint hardcore. Stop pretending you are something you are not.

Shotgun was removed years ago. Area overlap is a different thing. Sounds like that is what you are describing here.

I was only talking about projectiles.
