Drowning Orbs

Hi.

In PoE1 if you have multistrike and one of those orbs appears beneath you while attacking you get immediately animation-locked and you can't walk away or dash so it's a slow but guaranteed death.
This mechanic is one of the most obnoxious I've ever seen in any game, including PoE2. Disgusting.

Please remove.
Thanks.

You can always animation cancel out of multistrike with any attack, not sure what you're talking about

Once the attack repeats I can't. At least not with a controller.
I can attack once and move/cancel, but if I attack and the repeat activates I have to wait for the third attack to finish.
With the slow of the drowning orbs the attacks take longer than the orb takes to kill me so if it spawns near me when the repeat happens I have no counter-play (I guess the only counter-play would be to avoid the mod or bring Kaom's Roots to the party, I don't know).

Not sure if it works differently with M&KB. But many many times I've got stuck multistriking, pressing all the buttons to get out, and couldn't make it. Doesn't happen with faster attacks support.
