Weaken the burning earth

When does GGG plan to weaken the burning earth effect? The damage is ridiculously overstated. I'm tired of destroying T15 or T15+ maps because it kills me to run through burning ground despite having 75%+ fire resistance. Or deaths such as being shot by an off-screen mob, another charging at the character while pushing the character into the burning ground, and dying in 0.000003 seconds. You don't want to play if every third map has a burning ground... do something about it.

I feel bad as much as you do when something "not good" things happened on me.

This implies if the burning ground could be nullified by fire resistance, our fire damage (or any damage source that can be resisted) could be nullified as well.

"
another charging at the character while pushing the character into the burning ground, and dying in 0.000003 seconds.

I assume you were about to be dead before burnt in this case.

Let's assume an in game mechanics that kills a character with 75% fire resistance by fire damage in 10 seconds.

Total damage(Td) = (damage x duration) x 0.25(Damage multiplier(Dm))

If the character has 0.2 Dm, Td will be Td x (0.2/0.25) = 0.8 Td.
It takes 12.5 seconds to kill the character.

If 0.15 Dm, 16.6 seconds, 0.1 Dm and 2025 seconds. This is why there are "+X to maximum resistance" mods in game. "75% -> 90% resistance" means "take 5060% less damage".

Now let's assume with other "less/reduced damage" mods, for example "Enfeeble"(16% less @lv.19 by default on unique monsters), "Intimidate"(10% reduced damage dealt), "Heartstopper" passive (take 50% less damage over time damage after 1 second), 5% life regen/second (50% life regen in 10 seconds), Flask or Omens.

What else do we expect, any idea for better interaction ?
Everything I do should be wrong so please correct me if I do it right <3

Not only the burning ground but the constant stun freeze stun freeze freeze freeze freeze stun stun stun stun stun stun stun stun stun stun freeze freeze freeze freeze combination. Like oh did you just spend all that time and currency gearing that character? Stun/freeze you're dead gg lmfao, -10% XP and your map is cooked hope you're having fun (we aren't).

Seems I am "not us" so that I don't have to be not having fun. Thank you I will try not feel bad for my own reasons :D

Edit
Maybe I should have more explicitly limit the discussion for the specific case but that would make you feel even worse so I would appreciate your suggestion if I could state something other than stating "I feel bad as much as you do when "not good" thing happened on me".

I mean right now I'm level 80, I did the entire campaign and I've been mapping also on my fourth character. All I want to do is get to level 84 to use this necklace that allows for the actual build I want to play to work, but I'm stuck in this prison of stun freeze stun stun stun freeze freeze stun stun -10% XP -10% XP -10% XP like do I really have to invest in chaos resistance gear and general upgrades for a build I wouldn't even play in 3.5 levels anyway if the game would stop stripping me of all ability to control my character for 6+ seconds at a time I would have been done hours ago. Basic diminishing returns should be implemented into CC effects on your character. Getting spam stunned/frozen/CC'd has never been something any gamer in the history of ARPGs, MMORPGS, etc. has ever enjoyed. The combination of the CC spammming and the XP loss is just straight disrespectful to the customer's time as a company.

"In general understanding", lv.80~84 on a second character of the player who experienced basics of in game mechanics toward deepest part of the endgame, (as you gave "us" additional contexts in the second post) "we", if you are generous enough to allow me to use this common expression by language, try to narrow the chance of death.
To do so, we have to specify the "chance of death" or "near death situations" before making estimations.
This is why I made some assumptions with concrete, non-false, non-insulting premises.

If you could take those my words, please read below about my opinion about CC/debuff in arpg.
Spoiler
CC/debuff is the traffic cone. That means the basic structure of arpg is "straight forward". Yes I agree with your opinion about "things prevent us going straight forward".
Edit
I think it would be nice to have a haunted house that isn't scary if that even make sense for "us".

Save the maps with burning ground to dark open maps, like Decay.
- The darkness makes the fire easy to see
- The openess makes it easier to avoid (harder with narrow corridors)
