Is there a way to mitigate damage from Abyss's DoT puddle?

All the DoT pools on the ground in Abyss are physical DoT. Also some of the pools stop regen/healing while on top of it. Basically designed to not be tankable or mitigated.


this explains why my insta flask failed me!

GGG this is not the way to nerf insta flask!
Ground degen zones with massive dps are the staple of poe1 "difficulty" for years, GGG actually showed great restraint by not spamming them all over poe2 for the whooping 9 months:)

Always a pleasure seeing uber boss standing in degen puddle and shooting your melee character.
Lmao, just released patch notes.

Reduced the damage for Damage over Time Ground Effects from most Abyss Monsters.


"Reduced" implies a small change so likely a 5% reduction.
Instead of 1 second death it will be 1.05 second death.
If it was more they would have said other keywords like significantly or massively or given a specific percentage.

Are you complainers ever happy? They literally just catered to you and you complain about it. Maybe find a game you like to play?

No one can stand it wait till you get one with prox tang on it and healing.... this league has great stuff in it but then we have to deal with garbage like this.

And if they dont fix garbage like this ASAP people will just dump their game.


It's not garbage, if anything there should be more of this.

What? More DoT puddles? Why? I have no issues with them on my melee hybrid Amazon, but I don't see the benefit of having more other than to annoy and have more complainers--unless this is where you are going with?

I'm not really understanding how am I suppose to deal with this in melee. You cannot really get close to get charges as a monk, and if a rare is not melee, you cannot pull it out of the puddle either. It's also constantly teleporting, even when stunned. Puddle is not even its main attack, but it destroys your ES and HP in a matter of seconds.
They need to make it like the reworked ignite ground, you have an indicator of how long you have stood on the dot effect before it starting to deal dmg to you. This atleast give players time to react, also they need to make the on death ground effect more clear. Like whose idea to make every abyss on death effect to be green with green mobs and among a huge green fissure.
