Iron Citadel - Geonor Pale Moon Requiem 1 shot

Level 98 blood mage with 31k EHP & max resistances. First death I didn't check the waystone modifiers before and I assumed it was a combination of minus max resistances and resistance pierce modifiers. I did a second stone citadel right after & I checked the modifiers, it did not have any resistance modifiers.... one shot again from this ability. WTF. 10 hours of exp gone to a 1 shot from an ability that shouldn't be doing that much damage. Most people don't have 500 divine+ invested in gear... why is a single beam of pale moon requiem one shotting. There's a reason this fragment is twice the price as the other two on trade, I'm guessing it has to do with wipes to this ability.

I had increased cast speed modifier on waystone... really hard to avoid the markers when damage is dealt right as you identify them. In the campaign this was a 2-3 shot ability, meaning you had to be hit by them consecutively. In no way should this ability be a one shot mechanic.

6,500 life/8,000 ES at the time... meaning it's doing 14,500+ damage... really hard to avoid on an increased cast speed modifier, when you identify the marker it's landing and doing way too much damage.

I just died on a T15 map because a random Abyss on death blob (I don't even understand why this s* exist at the first place) was piled up in a pile of two or three of them, and the corpses of other creatures were obscuring them with various obstacles. That's why I died trying to loot the Abyss treasury. This experience is so unique to PoE that you instantly curse Mark and Jonathan's entire lives with very rude words.

But you know what, just press alt+f4 and play other games; I guess you don't have to support them anymore.

Yeah I noticed -max resistances and/or elemental penetration are dodgy mods to take for certain bosses. I've died a couple times to boss oneshots, but only when those mods were on the map. Other than that, the only thing that can kill me is the monkey slam.

Increased speed is usually a death trap for citaldel/pinnacle bosses

Sometimes I feel the balance is based on no extra mods at all, then as soon as an extra is added, balance is fucked, it should be the other way around...

Testing done.
Not a one shot.
