Doryani's prototype and armor stacking in poe2 is not working correctly

According to the game I should have 70% reduction of lightning damage coming in.
However, any lightning damage in this game will one shot me. Even lightning damage from a white mob! Skeletal mages auto attacks are particularly deadly.
I am hoping to get this fixed.

heres a video showcasing the bug.

Thats one auto attack from a white mob - 1/3 my HP. 3 white mob auto attacks is instantly dead.

i think it has to do with doryani only blocking damage from "hits", might not count certain types of damage such as the one here

I don't get it. You have -170% lightning damage reduction. Basically they make 3 times the damage to you. And even if you reduce it by 70%, you are basically still taking the full original 100% damage.

Need to read the text more carefully. "Lightning resistance does not affect lightning damage taken". This applies to both hit and DoT.

Then your armour is applied, but only to hits. You take lightning DoT damage as if you had 0% lightning res.

There is no "lightning DoT damage" by the way. The only damaging ailments are fire (ignite), chaos (poison) and physical (bleed). Both lightning ailments are non damaging ones. So all lightning damage you possibly can take is, in fact, from hits.

I feel like lightning damage is simply bugged in general.

I haven't died to chaos damage with 37% resistance as much as I have died to lightning damage with 78% res. At this point in game I can simply ignore any poisons, ignites, bleedings or whatever on me. But as soon I see lightning I run like hell, because it may one or two shot me

Im glad its not just me. Im running a prototype build as well and I have a great amount of HP and enough armor that the game suggests me having 60% reduction, but lightning damage from white mobs in low level maps or even act 3 cruel content will do significant amounts (if not all) of my hp in a single hit.

Doryani's build with a similar experience here. I have 10k armour, 120% armour when not on low energy shield (with zero energy shield), and 200% armour against critical hits. In a T10 map, white skeleton mages with a lightning projectile spell can kill me in one hit (3k total damage dealt).

Figured I should post my stats:
3894 life, 0 ES
10804 armor

Things like conjures lightning storms from a rare, or the lightning shrine, can basically instant kill me.

White mobs in anything T11+ can do anywhere between 50% and 100% of my hp in a single tap.
