REMOVE VOLATILE PLANTS PLEASE

Every single one of my past ten deaths has been to volatile plants. Even with 75% chaos res and 3.5k health you still die if you get hit by even 2 of those stupid ass purple balls. They are made 10x worse when you get your roll cockblocked by mobs and you get stunned into them. REMOVE THEM PLEASE GG AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

I just disconnected from the game right now for that reason.
I also have chaos res capped but 6.4k ES and 1.8k life.

They spawned under me and instantly killed me in 1 shot.

This mechanic is sheer trolling.

Weird.

I've got a grand total of 10% chaos resist and have only died once to this mechanic.

And that was because I honestly didn't think they would go through a wall, but they did and they exploded as soon as they came through.

They said already that they will patch this. They wont be removed, but probably tuned down and more visible. Just be patient and watch for them until then.

Be patient? This has been a scourge for some time now.

I too am here nerd raging after 2 volatile plant mishaps due to not being able to dodge roll out of being surrounded. THe AI is seemingly programed to engulf us 360 degrees and then it dumps unavoidable heat seeking missiles of purple death. If only you could see them coming half the time with all the crap on the screen.

It sucks in every conceivable way and doesn't belong in the game in its current state. The missiles should not originate from the caster but start their slow march several meters away so we can actually react. Most of the deaths are when they just get dumped right on top of you in the midst of large packs.

There is no need to make excuses for GGG -- they've been doing this for a long time with a decent track record. They've had time to fix this. They can find time to nerf the **** out of classes until the point of literally no one playing them but volatile plants is a hill they gonna stand on?

Seriously now. Please.

.. and with that I think I'm looking forward to the next POE1 patch.
