Does anyone have the same survival issue as me?

I'm on endgame Amazon EVA/ES Hybrid with defense stats below:

- All res stacked 75%
- Chaos res 50%
- 1.3k HP
- 3.8k ES
- 80% EVA
- Good Ghost Dance spirit stack
- Good Wind Dancer spirit stack

SOMEHOW, I kept on getting one-shotted by random mobs, I didn't even see which mob did it. Every time I died with these use cases, it had always been from outside of my screen which REALLY ANNOYING and FRUSTRATING. Some of them I only noticed was the mobs from expedition markers.

I'm able to hit 94 now but I played really damn safe and took me too long to even finish one map if I kept on dodging every mobs I met because as of now I STILL HAVE NO IDEA which mobs did it.

Dying on level 90+ and with end-game gear equipped is really weird? its not even DOT damage or half my total hp, TOTALLY DELETED my character? so far I think I've got more than 5 times of this sick one shot kill.

Before this patch I was playing Stormweaver level 97 Mana as HP build with roughly 8k Mana, I rarely got to low hp and died, except when I was getting stunned one after another.

It's probably a combination of things:

Bleed now passing though ES
the increased stun and ailment issues
More chaos damage from mobs
The diminishing returns they supposedly implemented to evasion effectiveness
And are you taking the acrobatics node in the skill tree ?

But yes, the sweeping nerfs destroyed my deadeye's survivability too, and i'm sure of many people's builds

It's probably a combination of things:

Poorly monster balancing
Poorly death game feedback
Game's designed so you're always gonna die no matter what
Poorly defense skills balancing

I wonder why a couple days after Dawn of the Hunt release, Last Epoch has 5 times more viewers than Poe 2 xdddd

Right, the first major patch in a year along with mtx given away for 6 hours of twitch watch time had nothing to do with it. Some of yall are clowns.

There are some legit critiques here, but too many of you are treating this EARLY ACCESS game as if it were a finished product. You should have known what you are getting into when you dropped $30+ to beta test.

Stop crying, its gross. If you cant handle the ever present changes, wait until 1.0. Last Epoch is a great game as well, give it a shot. Playing PoE 2 for 800 hours since December and calling it garbage is hilarious.
