Divination Scarab of Plenty - literally unsurvivable

Mobs that spawn after divination packs are killed deal WAY too much damage. It's literally insane, if you don't move for like 0.1s you are gonna get instantly oneshot. There is no way you are gonna pick up more than two things from the ground around these mobs. You cannot click altars without pause-buffering because it takes too much time and even then you likely are gonna die. These mobs are so incredibly overtuned (I am obviously only talking about the mobs that spawn after divination pack is killed, not a pack itself) that the only solution is giga strict filter showing only stuff worth 15/20c+ and running past them as fast as possible because you cannot stop around them anyway. Their damage needs to be lowered SIGNIFICANTLY, but honestly I don't think that's the solution. Why?
Because it's a bad design anyway. In one of the first patches of POE2 you got rid of some on death effects. Did you learn nothing from that? These apparitions are massive on death effect without any counter play. There is literally NOTHING you can do against them other than watching them obliterate you in 0.1s. My ideal solution would be to instead of making them to damage, make them apply ailments/curses/grasping vines stuff like that so you can actually play the game (different packs can have different effects).

For reference - I am a 100lvl deadeye with 81% max all res (utmost) + 60% chaos res. 8mod T16.5 is easier than rare T16 with Plenty scarab. Please fix them, thanks.

"60% chaos res"

And what HP? Less than 3k, no block (obviously) and no life flasks at 100 lvl? This is garbage survivability. No wonder you get one-tapped. Improve your build and the problem "magically" dissappears.

"make them apply ailments/curses/grasping vines"

Your solution is to make game easier so that lame glass cannon builds could thrive. No, thanks. Softcore leagues are already easy enough.

could you make your profile non-private so I can see how pros build
Any atlas strategy that favours something other than speed or has at least some other build requirement is a good addition. Not everything has to constantly favour glass cannon builds.
