Burning ground from Searing Exarch's monsters almost obliterates me

It can be pretty nasty stuff without solid recovery. Especially so if you take the wrong debuffs at the altar things, or have bad map mods like -max res (though the map mods you posted here are fine). Even without those issues though, it can be pretty dangerous on its own. Eater side isn't a lot better for plenty of builds, with their own ground degen on kill from some mobs while a couple dozen titty chicks peg you.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.

That burning ground just does an insane amount of damage. If it is bugged and was meant to do less damage they have made it a feature at this point by never commenting on it.
As a side note 77% fire res isnt amazing by any means. You are only taking 8% less fire damage than if you had 75% fire resist. Its not nothing but against big damage it wont be as noticeable. |

As an aside, just take the one pantheon (Upgraded Soul of Abberath) that makes you immune to burning ground while running Exarch maps - problem solved.

Searing Exarch influenced maps seem to be created for masochists.
Worse rewards, very bad mods, including burning ground and -chaos resist, and the "Players take 10% increased damage per altar used in area" is the drop that fills the glass. That's like having the downsides of both Abyssus and Replica Abyssus after activating only 4 altars, lol. Last edited by 6_din_49#4066 on Mar 25, 2022, 6:57:27 PM

Even with 10k energy shield, 75% fire resist, and fully upgraded Soul of Arakaali, this particular burning ground can kill me in about a second. That said, I don't really have a problem with it. You opt into more and more difficult stuff, so you're choosing to take on that risk for the potential reward. You dial in the difficulty you're comfortable with doing and scale it back once you hit that limit. Could it be toned down a bit? Sure.
More hymns for Cassia when?

Your regen is pretty low though which is what makes DoTs manageable, honestly so many players have said this is overtuned I took them at face value and just never choose the burning ground options lol.
