Crystal Skin mob affix. Thanks for punishing noobs like me

Ever since Crystal Skin mod on mobs were introduced to the game it is responsible for about 80% of my deaths. Yes, I'm relatively new to the game, I'm not zooming at the speed of 5 screens a second and I'm not one-hit-killing enemies. I'm not doing guides and I expect to still be able to play the game and have fun with it.

At some point I became so desperate I had to change to non-hit builds to avoid Crystal Skin being triggered, but here we have melee league. Hurrah! Except its Crystal Skin deaths all over my noob face again.

Thanks!

are you talking about the purple crystals?

i hated them a huge lot but they're kinda much better now.

NGL, even at higher levels, the purple crystals can get scary/deadly.

2 things i can advice is simply to have a movement skill ready to dash away. there are 1001 on death effects. its expected. also you are forced to get a certain level of movement speed anyway.

the purple crystals at the very least have some counter play towards em, compared to say.. porcupines, which all you can do is tank the hits if you're melee. or shatter them.

you do have a solid 1-2 seconds to gtfo the way with purple crystals.

if you're not talking about the purple crystals please ignore

Don't have -60% chaos resistance would be a start, or dash away. It's so telegraphed
