deceptive up-scaling of damage with lava in Mektul The Forgemaster.

so in Normal difficulty you can stand in this lava for about a couple of seconds

now in Cruel difficulty touching this lava for a single pixel instantly kills you

this is extremely unfair and deceptive, since players who fought this boss on Normal and survived standing in the lava would reasonably assume you are able to momentarily survive the lava also in Cruel.

this damage up-scaling is totally over-tuned compared every other sources of damage from the boss

I agree completely.

I will also add that I just lost a HC SSF character with:
- 3kHP
- 80% fire res

It was a t4 map with no mods, I stood less than half a second in the lava. I was not really counting on the insanely high amount of damage. If I knew I wouldn't even risk it.
Reading is hard.
Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.
