Minions dying to monster and don't know why

I've been following this build and have some more defenses on my minions than specified (health, life regen)
https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzytv's-zoomancer-necromancer-animate-guardian-and-spectres

The monster below completely obliterated my minions. It sometimes happens that a monster deals very significant damage, but this one was not killable even if I tried to revive them during the fight. And of course I can't revive my spectres here either. I even saw my animated guardian drop below 50%.

What could cause this? And can I mitigate it, or should I rather avoid it?

Beast with 2 essences and Wild Empowered. I guess it's just a monster on steroids. There are two solutions: better survivability or higher dps. I'd go for higher dps.

I’m doing SRS with AG and 3 specters on 8k juiced deli maps sometimes. I learned the hard way it’s definitely about resists with minions. Use POB to make sure they’re capped (PoeDB lists their base levels). Also don’t forget about their chaos res - shit ton of chaos damage this league.

I can't even manage to read what kind of mob this is.
because ag is dead after 2-3 seconds. and that with 72% all res, 70k life, max chaos res from skills and deter aura.
And the joke is, I can facetank these things in most maps. But sometimes the whole army is on the ground almost instantly.
If it's while you are in Wildwood, then it's this bastard right here:

He wrecked my entire army and I didn't realize wtf had just happened until I received the message for failing the achievement of killing him while getting no more than 5 stacks of his debuff.
I poop, therefore I am.

There is more nonsense there. like troll shaman. I have 90% phys red and I can't even see if anything is coming. because it's too dark. but troll shaman apparently throws some garbage on my head and I die instantly.........
WWWWWWWWW TTTTTT FFFFFFFFF====????????????

and then you can immediately restart map because there are not enough wisp

You don't have 90% PDR against big hits. Please look up how armour works

After a few seconds it is 90% or what is that about?

Yes, I can see that you are confused. That's why I tell you to look up how Armour works. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour

Against small hits your armour might surmount to a 90% damage reduction, but against larger physical hits armour is less effective. If you want to mitigate 90% damage vs a big chunk like the Troll's mudball you need either a LOT more armour or other sources of physical damage reduction like Endurance Charges, %phys damage reduction on armour-base body armours, shields etc. or unique sources

It can't be any different, because I was at school and don't need glasses and IQ is not in the negative range.
and when I see a number like 2, then I really assume that it is 2 and not 1 or 0............. and 2+2 for me is 4 and not 36 or -5.

OK... there is some super secret mechanic that customers with cool names like Napoleon from the insane asylum can understand. However, I don't want to go that far.
