Please fix One shots form regular Mobs

As a newer player (started playing Poe during the first league of Poe 2) I find the game very fun, but very frustrating when I am one shot by mobs that are more than 10 levels below my character. if I'm playing ranger or amazon, you don't give a lot of options for life or energy shield in the passive tree, and I can only build up ES or life so much on gear. If it's not a stun lock, or frozen then it is a one shot. I will use a cull the weak, whirling slash, then a twister but then just get obliterated in half my maps. i cant progress from level 91 because i die every other map. I will be doing fine and progressing a little, then one shot and I'm back at square one. Please doing something about it. The bosses, fine, I'm okay with being one shot if it's a mechanic I can avoid if I'm paying attention, but in a game that have dozens of mobs on your screen, how do you expect anyone to avoid that?

Check if you over invest in damage, will become glass cannon. For es target 2.5-3k if you do budget build, look for gears with life and cap all res, look for es+crit dmg+ele dmg jewel, get amulet with %inc es, life and res. When you have enough divine consider to get a high es helmet, you then have the option to path for subterfuge mask or anoint it.

No sarcasm. I am definitely not over invested in damage. My main focus when i look for gear is life and ES, and I can only go down so much on damage before the game is unplayable at T15. I have to reach all the way over into the mage part of the tree to get some ES.

I'll make the assumption that your elemental resists are at least all 75%. That being assumed, you mentioned stun lock and frozen. This can be avoided with stone charm and thawing charm. I know nothing about ranger or amazon, but if you're using a shield: how's your block? You can get increased block in shields, and increased block from the tree. Block fully blocks hits and projectiles from attacks and spells. PoE is all about layering defence, you're generally not going to survive long if you're just all in on one type. And if you're truly getting one shot, you're either standing in something you should have rolled away from or your health/energy shield is simply too low for the content you're in. Dodge roll more or get better gear/farm in lower tier content.

He's talking about this scenario. Cakewalk -> Cakewalk -> Cakewalk -> Insta-Death. It helps when you read.
