Mapping is too easily bricked.

To give an example of how bad RNG can be, I had a T6 waystone with +345% increased waystones, 70%+ quality of items, 70%+ quantity of items, (like 2 other mods I think that buffed mobs?), had a +10% quantity/rarity from the tower, and had 30% or so waystone increase from atlas. The map in question was breach and a boss. At the end of it I had gotten one T1 magic waystone and a T3 rare waystone.

Like how does that make sense? add in any extra deaths for random one shots from overtuned chaos damage, spell effect clutter, bad damage rng, and it becomes so easy to run out of waystones. And before anyone says "git gud" my character has effective HP of 2.5k, with max resistances (outside chaos atm), and 87% evasion rating. The amount of times I have released those frozen Essence rare mobs and got one tapped instantly is insane.

I can't speak for the sustain but 2.5k ehp sounds low tbh.
max resists = 90%? or 75%? because 75% isn't like, good per se, it's more like the minimum expectation checkbox.

It would be nice if there was some kind of luck protection in place though.
Like if you exceed whatever%, say 300%, guarantee 1 map of the tier you spent or something.

There is zero chance to brick mapping, you can always get T1 waystones. That is not bricked, it's a major setback but you can still do it.

Quant and rarity of items doesn't affect waystones, only stats about waystones (and things that make more monsters) are important.

If you are low on higher tier waystones stop wasting them on breach. As I said, buff up zones with towers for more waystone drop chance and target specific maps that have increased level and/or boss nodes. Not breach, not expedition. If you are running low on a resource you target farm that resource. Don't be going after breach when you are running out of waystones.

No idea what you are doing wrong with essence rares, I haven't died to a single one of them on any character. Setup any debuffs and buffs, utilize time delayed attacks/curses/etc then crack them open and roll away if needed.
