Why are essences actually harder then uber bosses? Its not funny anymore.

I am not saying all builds but the one I am playing has highlighted this.
I am playing a poison herald of thunder pathfinder. I can basically tank any number of hits. The cold degen from essences? insta death. Can do uber red/blue guy going out of my way to take as much damage as possible and unless I stand on the burning ground I cant die. however a random fucking essence enters the show... oh here is 2 degens which you cant get immunity to. deal with that. I have sacrificed everything in the build for tankyness and still die to fucking essences. I have freeze immunity, shock immune, ignite immune, poison immune, bleeding immune, corrupting blood immune, basically stun immune, 100% chance to suppress.
The only builds I played where they don't have Achilles' heel to essences are minion, totem and trap builds that basically just go "i am not gonna fight you at all".

You might have to do it like most of us, T1 maps. Essence tiers are unaffected by map levels so you can just 1 shot them in lower tier maps. I try to do them around t10 in maps where its possible to drop other useful stuff like 6L cards at league start. Also pairing beasts is a good way for fast farming

I fail to understand your issues with essence mobs cause they are literally a joke since the nerf in 3.19.

You complain about dying to a degen while your build clearly lacks a layer of defense for that lol
Maybe don't play a bad zdps build and you don't end up having struggles with them, or at least get some anti degen stuff into your build to outlast the fight with the lacking damage.

You know I very doubt you do uber bosses if you can't kill essences dude.

Even though the "dying to DoTs" part can be blamed on the defenses in a way, if you're saying that Essence monsters are not overtuned, you're being dishonest.
Of course, it only happens when the right mods combine, but when it happens, they are way stronger than anything else a map throws at you.

They are not overtuned. Did them whole league before as molten strike, doing them whole league now. It is not a problem with essence monsters nor rares.

I can literally not add a single thing to my build as I am unable to leech and vitality alone doesn't cut it vs 5 degens. If I could drop the ... 10 damage nodes to get enough healing deal with the degens I would. The build is a mapper I don't need mad damage.
