wow.... patch broke something

Played my 87 monk after patch. Got 1 shot twice in 2 maps. Something has definitely gone wrong. Exp loss and one shot mechanics, not really a ton of fun I have to tell you.

What map mods were you running? Game feels exactly the same to me, also playing monk.

i even can tell you what went wrong... YOUR EXPECTATION!!!!!
so you expect an evasion based char to not get oneshot?
if so you have to quit this game because evasion will NEVER avoid oneshots! (at least in poe)
ONLY PURE EHP CAN DO SO (so life/ES/DmgMitigation), and up to some point even armour!!!

Clearly, you're overly complacent.
Game will humble you.

I don't know why the toxic feel the need to belittle in response instead of actually contributing...

Playing merc and had the same thing happen in Trial of Chaos. Tornado bird boss. Insta-killed me, not sure what he did but it wasn't tornado and I wasn't near him. He died and then I died.

I've read of quite a few other people having insta-death experiences as well. Quin even had some video where a few mobs nearly instagibbed him and he paused just in time(screaming what did this patch break).

Something is up.

I think the part some of you are missing is that things were going fine BEFORE the patch, now I'm getting smashed. There's a clear difference in the performance of my build before and after patch.

and I agree with you Fruitlord, a great many in this community are highly toxic. It's like they sit around all day waiting for the opportunity to say get gud

I had the same experience. I noticed there's damage ignoring ES altogether. As in I get hit by something and take HP damage while my ES is fully up. Pretty sure CI builds are having a ton of "fun" this patch.

+1 Remove xp loss on death.

my brain starts switching these posts into "i suck at the game pls help"

I have exact opposite experience. Without all of those bullshit invisible death effects game seems too easy.
