nerf CHAOS PODS (1 shot death rank 43 SSFHC video included)

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2432568374

clip is me dying at rank 43 in SSFHC on a tier 15 magic map with no modifiers besides crit. 90/90/90 res with 58% chaos.

would i have lived if i had an amethyst charm?

i don't really understand why pods are so crazy in general. they spawn so fast and do so much damage. please nerf this garbage fast and hard. absolutely miserable especially in rituals.

o7, exile. whether they need damage nerfed or not is debatable.. one-hitters suck and it seems you had enough res to expect to survive, I'll give you that.

but when I watch the clip, what looks like it needs nerfed to me is the animation for the skill you're using, need to see map and be able to react to that stuff. it was avoidable, almost seemed like ya didn't respect it. no shade though, say hi to miller and good luck.

appreciate the response.

im used to screen clutter because i mostly play minions and totems even on poe 1. with good defenses and ranged play it's usually fine. i am going fast because i was trying to climb the ladder. i had no issues otherwise.

in terms of the pods, i was actually planning to run through them which is how i usually handle them (they have a detonation delay so its usually no problem) but for some reason they triggered weirdly, i think.

the first one clearly got triggered by the totem but then i feel like the other 2 popped early, but maybe it's normal after the first detonation. like they chain or something.

definitely avoidable and i understand it more with stuff like boss slam mechanics, but i don't feel it's reasonable for this machine gun (shoots 3 pods every 5 sec) to be able to 1 shot you with just 1 hit through extremely high defenses. i have high stun threshold because it should allow me to move and potion even if i accidentally get hit by 1.

as i said, pleading for GGG to nerf this because i think its the most dangerous ability in the game right now, especially inside those tiny ritual circles where they spawn multiple and you're body blocked by 100 monsters lol.
