On Death Affects and Chaos Orbs...

I have been playing Path of Exile 2 since launch, 1000+ hours of play time, and the current state of this game is incredibly frustrating to me. Currently level 92, and I feel like I have been 4 bars away from 93 for a week.

Seemingly every time I am one atlas map away from 93, I get blind sided by five chaos orbs that float THROUGH MY MINIONS and explode on me. The orbs are way too hard to see, and the Chaos Plants that create them are also so small, you cannot see them through minions and enemies.

With nearly 2500 Health and 6000 energy shield, I am pretty survivable, but I guarantee you, if I had a way of seeing the cause of my deaths, 90% or more are caused by those f***ing orbs.

PS: WHY DO THE ORBS LINGER FOR 20 SECONDS AFTER THE RARE MONSTER WAS KILLED?!!?!?

The last change made the orbs obnoxiously stand out. I dont understand how people still have trouble seeing them, they're like 20x more vibrant than the enemies are.

PS - they don't last lobg if you walk through them.

so I'm supposed to work TOWARDS THE SHINY BALL OF INSTANT DEATH????

Strongly disagree. When you have a dozen minions, they mask the orbs, making them very hard to spot. Not to mention that rare monsters should NOT have abilities that can potentially one shot a player with 51 Chaos Resist and around ~2500hp and ~6000es.

Just remove them. There is no purpose to keep them.

Yes? Assuming you're talking about the little purple floating orbs. Touch them and run/roll away, then they explode. If you mean the purple explodey ground flowers, then no. Run screaming from those.
