BS death to boat explosion. No animation HCSSF

I just died in HCSSF to this boat explosion. After losing too many characters to this stun-fiesta campaign or this horribly designed Viper fight, i managed to quit act 3 to finally discover the 4th.

Only to realise that GGG does not know what an aRPG is anymore. That dying to something that bypasses every element or value you built your character on is not only frustrating but infuriating.

It seems i have to know the entire game preemptively before playing it in HC. I have to lose countless hours and characters to each little trap in the campaign before i see maps. I won't. The game is uninstalled.

This is not a hot rant due to a recent death but the sum of dozens of absurd deaths on PoE 2 where my past (and somewhat long and diverse) aRPG experience is worth nothing. No matter how many builds i try, how safely i play, how cautiously i'm gearing my character (despite the horrible RNG-based craft options in the campaign), the game will not let me adapt to a situation to survive it.

I didn't see the timer fast enough and i didn't think something so unfair could exist in an aRPG. Not after 12 hours of campaign and careful gearing.

Just stop this.
