Heist Escaping - Constant Death

I'm not sure I understand the mechanic well, since, to be honest, I feel like escaping from a Heist, whilst in leveling gear, is nigh on impossible. I lost so many heists when I died to mobs waiting to gimp me. I opened the door, dodged aside, popped defenses, and then I still die from whatever random damage that most of the time I've no idea where it comes from.

With around 2.3k HP and 1.4k ES and okay resistances (plus defense abilities and slows) I still die to heists lower level than me, and that's on magic-quality heists. Am I missing something? Are you supposed to just rush through them as fast as possible and ignore the mobs once the heist is on max alert?

I'm not sure if they're way overtuned, or I'm doing something wrong but my new-player friends basically gave up because they die too much, and that's even outside of heists.

Two things which keep killing me are the small spider bots are basically bombs which explode after death. Not sure what damage this is because Im very tanky and they nearly one shot me. They do have a VERY SMALL telegraph which is instantly covered by anything.

The other is on some doors with guards waiting through the open entrance there are traps like storm calls that go off when you walk through them. Don't just trip these with minions or totems and run through yourself as they can be re-placed by....something.

I think they are very overtuned and hope they will be fixed quickly.

of course its overtuned...in every new league the mechanic is always overtuned at first

I use guard skills and Agnostic. Works pretty well

I think Heist mobs are 10-15 tiers out of place.
At my current progression; level 75 maps = Zoom zoom, level 60 Heist = Get rekt.

the fact that I lose all my shit on death is bullshit esp when I am just about to the exit and get 1-shot by fuck knows what in a zone 10 levels below mine

if I lose the blueprint or special item fine whatever but items from chests I should be able to keep

hard to understand wtf is going on also it's as if there are traps in there or some shit not just mobs and you can't tell wtf is what when all hell breaks

And then you just throw body count against heists. Great gameplay.

Heist in lv63 white contract, gets 1 shot by templar mob with 3.4k hp.

not even map mobs are this dangerous at red tier.

I want to do the new content but i just die/fail in every heist
and get no heist masters exp so i cant run most of them

I feel the same. I had a six-link early on and relatively decent cluster jewels but damn...those mobs in the heists are tough and deadly :D
