SICK OF GETTING ONE SHOTTED

I am so sick of getting one shotted in this game. Like I am sick of it. May be I am just to competitive but thats just me. Thats why I don't play HardCore anymore. HOW IS GETTING ONE SHOTTED A FAIR GAME MECHANIC. I tend to do solo self-found only builds. No trading etc. Its absurd to be walking along then get insta gibbed by a mob. A ghost possessed one of the abyss monsters and they all I guess, teleported to me and instantly brought my health to zero. I had about 2.7k in health and 1k something in mana. I had mind over matter. And the rares just insta gibbed me. All my resistances were capped. And yes this was more of a rant then anything else. I am sure other players feel the same way to a degree. Some of these abyss monsters seem ridiculous anyway. And I don't want to hear, git good, or just get more heath etc. I've learned that this game finds every way to screw you, some how some way./ end of rant.

I don't understand this one shotted mechanic in a HC game like this. Hardcore ppl is supposed to progress based in skill, not luck. This is a unfair and discouraging mechanic, specially for HC league.

Maybe I'm just rusty at the game, but I've noticed the Abyss rares to be quite damaging by themselves.

It was what got my attention when they're pretty much the only thing I've died to this League (Outside of Kitava's lovely one-shot abilities) with a rare popping out and smearing me on the ground.

Since I'm playing the character in softcore, it doesn't impact me as much, but I can see it being especially annoying on HC which I don't really bother with (More so now).

I used to play HC builds in SC so that didnt happen.

Maybe you can check out those SSF HC league players and ask them how they survived into red maps?

There must be something that they did right to make it out of Act 10 alive.

A true HC skill in PoE is avoiding any significant danger, and farming easy-as-fuck content till your eyes bleed! A shame!

"smart play". aint nobody got time to die in hc.

You should pick your fights carefully

Playing HC like an SC player is going to get you killed. You need to know that. Your build was built by an SC player who was playing SC and assumes you'll die... occasionally.

It's not the game. It's the player.

To play HC you need to learn the fights before you fight them. That includes league play. You avoid stuff like the fight you just described until you know you can handle it. Not 95% of the time... you'll die. You have to engage stuff you have 100% confidence you will beat.

That's boring for many, and they're welcome to play SC for that thrill they get.

What else do you expect? Hardcore in any hack&slash game is a nice way to punish yourself, nothing else. You successed in this one more time. Endure, repeat. Or play softcore as other players who wants just a fun.
