Getting one shot will never ever be fun.

I didn't enjoy it there, but I felt like they were easy enough to avoid.

The difference here, is that in PoE 1, you had what experts like to call "defensive options". In PoE 2, you have... ES and EV.

In PoE 2, you have attacks and AoE's that can't be evaded, that can't be blocked, that can't be mitigated (because there isn't much mitigation in the game). You also have so damn much on-death effects and ground effects that more often than not, you're standing in one. And most of these are chaos damage, resulting in people running for CI.

PoE 2 is a mess right now. A fun mess in some situations, but a mess nonetheless. I'm sure once they'll get 1 or 3424 patches out, it will be alright.
