Petrified shamans are absurd

So I tried T17 maps today and first one I got was Ziggurat. And there is common enemy which is copy of Stagnation map. That one which instakills you with boulder throw. Do you see a problem?
You run through poorly lit are and view area corners are completely dark. Now there are mobs with throw black boulder (or this is a coprolite, not sure) at hypersonic speed which deal instadeath damage. Often they throw these things offscreen. There are may be multiple of them. You can't even see this shitbomb floating because area is so dark.
I died three times and got hit for 95% of health 5-7 times before realizing what exactly did it to me.
Are you really sure it's supposed to be like this? Everyone else there was fine, but these thing exist only for killing you instantly out of nowhere.

So like pretty much 99% of the rest of the game? Most of POE has horrible brightness and contrast. Looking at a glance at your screen magic monsters will be some non descript pixelated blue blob, while rare monsters will be the same but yellow pixels. Every monster or boss or whatever blends into its environment and you can't tell what the hell is happening.

Maybe in another 10 years they can introduce gamma (brightness) correction to the game.

Mapping is full of ranged/caster mob clusters mowing you down from offscreen. These shamans are just par for the course.

This is just absolute form. I tried on relatively tanky character. Can survive most pinnacle bosses attack easily. Kinda fun to get instakilled by random white mob.
