Stabilize the damage - No more random one shot please

Can you do something about the mobs damage please, it's so unstable. I can do the same content for hours trying to grind a level without dying and for some reason I randomnly get one shot a couple of time and loose all the xp I spent hours to earn. It's really frustrating mixed with the new loot system that isn't really rewarding. I have 130k effective hit pool, should be enough for the normal stuff...

Gotta agree.. Especially in a game that prides itself in being a game where people can play Hardcore mode.

Having thousands of hours potentially lost through negligence is one thing, but when one second you are at full health and thriving and poof, instant-death out of nowhere with no clue what killed you... You know there's something wrong.

Sometimes I have to record my deaths and watch the replay multiple times to even understand what just killed me... Usually it'S a mob offscreen or some other bs like a barely noticeable "explode after death" effect that I simply could not really notice with so many corpses / VFX / Minons on screen at a time.

I mean, the game is already "Path of life nodes as it is , will people putting layers upon layers of damaage mitigation on top of one another to try and circumvent these, but it's always frustrating, even for softcore players ,to spend so much time slowly raising a level only to have all that progression gone in an instant because of BS oneshot attacks.

It's AN mods now killing people like this.

My zerker in maps I was leveling, 79ish, nearing 5k life, 21 fort, 79 all res, lept to a platform suddenly lit up by a dozen spark mages with AN mods. Insta dead.

Then you see others dying to 1-2 shots in the endgame. AN stacked rares who run at light speed and melee swipe two tap the strongest melee builds.

This isn't fun. It's plain stupid and I felt stupid wasting my time on it. There is no counterplay. You just acknowledge the game can rando you and you have to start all over again.

It's little wonder so many HC players are SC now.

Yeah, i thought about recording too to undertand what's happening but I guess it wouldn't help much anyway. I don't think the loss of XP and random one shot are cmopatible with each other. I don't know the solution but when it happens most of the time I just close the game cause I just feel that I played hours for almost nothing.

And -60% chaos resist, right? you have that effective hit pool when you have all on, like fortify and molten shell? If you hit a map with less aura effect or less armour it is what? 9k for phys and below 3k for chaos if you don't have your cd up? It isn't tanky anymore.

you need to learn how that is calculated, not take "effective hit pool" from PoB and think that this is what you can always take. This is not your "real health pool".

I mean now to play this game we need life, resist, armor, evasion, max res, res, spell supress, things like molten shell, potion, anti ailment and the list goes on and on I can't just get all of them in a single build. Every build should have their strenght and weakness but that's a totally different topic then getting one shoted randomnly and loosing xp there's just no fun or challenge in that.

First of all you need to understand what is "effective hit pool" and how it is calculated, before throwing numbers left and right with -60% chaos res.
You say that "Every build should have their strenght and weakness" - but you're not aware of your own weaknesses. You can't take a 3k chaos hit, that is not tanky, less than 9k phys in unfortunate scenario. That is not tanky. You're tanky only IF all your cooldowns are up and map don't have any mods influencing armour, auras or mobs

I do know my own weaknesses and I pick maps that don't have mods that i'm not good against. Please don't make assumptions based on nothing. And this post isnt based on only the build that I'm playing right now. I talked with people that have the same opinion then me.

If you think not beeing able to take 3k chaos hit is tanky, then surely my assumption must be wrong. If this is the hill you want to die on, then go for it and blame the game while not learnyng anything.

You do like to focus on one single thing eh even when I'm telling you I am not talking about only me or this specific situation. But eh, you wanne be right so you are right.
