The Goddess (Plaza Boss) in Maven Invitation

I don't have a lot of problems with any bosses, but I just ran a Maven invitation with The Goddess being one of them. She ran right into the middle of the map and then casted her link, doing insane damage over time. I was unable to break the link running to the very edge (ran a circle right at the edge) and eventually died.
I think she either shouldn't be able to cast the link in the invitation or make it not being affected by increased aoe since it is pretty much impossible to beat the fight unless killing her right away in like 4 sec before she casts it... She sometimes even casts it first thing entering the fight again after dying from it..

Seconded
Get your chaos res up, then her beam is a joke. And/or get Soul of Arakaali and belt craft for chaos res vs DoTs.

If your chaos res is around zero or negative that beam will kinda insta-gib you.

E: Oh I was looking up the wrong thing on poe.db, should be fire damage indeed

Her beam is pure fire damage, but otherwise this generally correct. I don't know what mods you had on the Maven invitation, but Goddess is NASTY if you have -max (or some other mod which prevents your full fire resist from applying). If you know you're going to have her in an invitation and your build isn't complete yet, it's definitely worth grabbing a Ruby flask for the fight.
There was no problematic mod other than "increased area of effect" which made it impossible to break the link.
Sure you could face tank it with +max fire res (mine is at the basic 75%) and other defensive layers. I have a good amount of leech with overleech and wasn't able to tank it that way. I also have a good amount of dps, but couldn't kill her fast enough.

True, though, a ruby flask can be helpful, or just don't let her be witnessed. But in my opinion that is besides the point.
I learned early on that some maps are best avoided if you're chasing after Maven witnesses. I try to avoid Acid Caverns because FUCK Morgrants the Deafening and their ability to instantly RIP my minions, and Malformation because corrupted Piety's spinning laser is horrific when trying not to get killed by everything else in the arena. Plaza is just another boss to add to the list due to nearly unavoidable deathray.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!
