Absurdly overpowered crucible mobs only getting worse as we progress

Forged frostbearer. Blue mob, half channelling, vastly overtuned. This has no place in the acts nor the game. These mobs need to be adjusted to damage reductions from max resistances. Even my chaos res is 60+.

The mob can not be taunted, it will not attack a totem.

I'm also getting crucible passive tree xp for a wand I found in an area 15 levels back but there is no sign there's more channelling xp from these higher level ones. There's no ease of passage, only a bitter slog.

What happened? Where's my incentive to interact with Crucible at all? It's just a killer. Killer of fun and killer of a precious resource this easter: time.

My suggestion is you go back to the drawing board and tune down from max. If max is 10, these are at 20. Channelling halfway should reflect on how much I suffer.

Also allow them to drop stuff. They're damage sponges. Bullet sponges. They're just cheating in damage output and damage reductions.

How is your index finger holding up friend?
Try to avoid giving yourself repetitive strain injury from the crucible, destroyer of fingers.
Nobody has publicly said anything about it yet but I suspect we will hear about some incidents soon enough.

Haha!

One problem is zero indication what's going on while channelling. I was a gnat's whisker off reaching a fourth node and press and press and press and nothing happens except mobs spawning. This was four times in a row until the game realized I was there for the crucible xp, not for the charm of crucible mobs. It covers a huge area and spreads and spreads but zero crucible xp is had.

The node flases OK I'M READY XP WILL GET TO THE NODE The mobs spawn but no actual Crucible xp happens, it didn't reach the node at all until at last I pressed 5-6 seconds.

It's all such a gawdawful mess.

avoid the crucible with map mods

Monster bleed/posion on hit if you are not immune
monsters have life as es
Monsters have more %life

it is a bad time

This all system of monster mods on top of mods is deeply flawed now.

Started with archnemesis this mess. Still devs insist this is fun.

Not

Was totally hyped for this season but atm I am thinking leaving it as it is.
