It isn't going to get patched out and it is intentional XD. It's been happening for over 10 years. Just because they reskinned it doesn't mean it isn't the same exact thing all over again.

That's why some of the replies are like this. Decades and an entire game later, and all of the problems people complained about are back, to include the ones GGG actually did deal with in PoE 1.

Bad mechanics and questionable decisions aren't suddenly gems just because you tack a 2 on the name.

i was on the map slick. i just finished a breach and loaded up with loot then took a portal to empty my inventory. i went back into the map to collect more loot (the map was completely empty) and started running around collecting more loot from the breach i did and suddenly my character made 2 noises of being hurt and died instantly. im a level 96 ranger with all capped res. also had omen of amelioration that worked and an omen of resurgence that was active at the time and is currently still active even after the death so apparently it didnt work.

this is extremely frustrating because im level 96 and it take an entire day of mapping to even get maybe 10%XP.

this is also not the first time ive had something sketchy happen to me on the map slick. which sucks because now its just another map that i have to avoid when im mapping.

side note: im pissed :)

I've been holding off on finally admitting it, but after 460 hours of playtime im gonna say this game is pretty trash in its current state.

Like you said, countless times dying to stuff you have absolutely no control over. The game also runs so poorly (and i have a very good pc) that i cant count how many times ive died during lag spikes in breaches.

Also the fact that it punishes you so hard even though the game is broken. I would understand maybe if everything was fine tuned etc. But it's not.

Think I am gonna be taking a break from this game for a while until they decide to fix some major issues.

It feels like more of a chore to play rather than something fun.

Get with the program GGG.

i can confirm this and i did a test, these frequent instant ko will occur mostly from range 80%-100% to next level especially starting from lv80. if they so keen on slowing the player to progress better just shut down the game please.
i getting 1 shot form air numerous time on the path from 92-95lv so frequent at 80% of exp, now i down back to 75% exp. this occur so much happened at least 6time in a row from 95>96.

Total play time 460hr.

resurgence are activated, it used and still died from nothing burger. the one hit so harsh, burn both resurgence and my 100% hp/ mana.

Let me join on the WTF bandwagon.
Creek map, on the run to the last rare mob, ran by 2 group of white mobs. 1 river hag with some "goblins"/troglodytes/whatever and undead mercenaries. All white mobs, not even blue. Boom, insta dead outta nowhere.

From what I noticed, all those "one-hit" strikes come from mobs that are like 10000000 kms away and still can see you AND hit you. You can't do same, though, coz you don't even know that such mob is even there.
The insane aggro range of monsters is the problem imo.
If you see the mob in your screen, you are more aware and can avoid lethal hits i.e. by dodging.

Happens a lot lately. I clear the screen, I see no debuffs on myself. Suddenly my character takes damage out of nowhere. Died in a Mire due to this, second run at that Mire shows the same random hits.
Losing all my level progress to shit like this is frustrating.

this game is nothing but one shots. i cant get past act 2 because bosses are literally impossible to kill.

You should not release all remnants in expedition without thought, as mobs can and will do crazy damage if you add too many damage mods+ resistance penetration. Then some offscreen projectiles will 1shot you.
Also avoid having more than 1 extra elemental dmg mod on map, and avoid elemental penetration mods.

BS one shots aside, AFAIK only 1 active omen will be consumed if you have 2 active in your bags.
