ive been 1 shot on 16.5k es

doesn't matter

game makes no sense

The answer is more damage.

Unless you are HC, getting extreme defenses is the dumbest thing you can do. As you have experienced you will get one shot no matter what so why have such high hp or es? My witch hardly dies at 3.5K hp and she one-shots all bosses.

as pathetic as it sounds this really is the best response to my problem

kinda fucking sad really

Unavoidable 1-shot is the reason i will never try HC on POE. The game is not balance around it.

I don't mind dying because of mistakes or lake of knowledge but inevitable bullshit that can kill the tankiest character with the highest eHP possible is just stupid.

GGG also love to nerf defensive node on passives tree everytime they modify it.

Ever heard of Lightning Mirage?

This is likely why most are dying if there is tons of mobs and you cant see shit... they basically spawn right on you and blow you up and i cant even see them in rituals most of the time unless im running around and happen to see it following me

Also the beyond mob has spawned once on me and i just died lol never actually seen him there either

There is also the chaos ritual that will mess you up if you dont got chaos res and theres a lot of blue mobs on the screen

Could also be a high tier ignite (will kill you in like 2 seconds without a pot going)

Adding to this blockers dont deal with ground effects or other stuff very good (or chaos damage ;p)

I'm a chieftain I'm immune to ignite. It was not chaos dot unless it is 10k dmg over .o5 seconds

Getting sick of this 1 shot bullshit

I feel something similar, because of this I play much less, sometimes I give up after a half hour...like now.

I played Bleed-bow Gladiator, sometimes I died in ritual, that was not the problem. That surprised me T14 much more harder than before... I mean it "dominated by sirius" rare mobs are maybe stronger than the map boss. Usually they killed me with 2 hit If I noticed them 1 sec later. (projectiles came from the border of the screen or just run in to my face with speed)

Oh, I forgot that, my atlas only A2, it could be 4, but I do it with 2.

So, I changed to my "heist build" - max block cyclone/reckoning gladiator [in heist, A8 sirius, elder, shaper, hogm ...was easy with it] Ok, currently it is not completed build, I should buy 1-2 item, but IDK how to get more currency when can't run a single t14 map. t14 malformation (+baran) in a single wide room there is 6+ rare dominated by sirius + spawning mobs, + lighning effects/ground, sirius above my head and tons of effects and mobs makes it laggy.. I could kill 2-3 dominated mob now, but their dmg is just nonsense and the amount of dominated mobs.
