Does GGG test on a different game version or are the calculations off?

It's just so weird with what I just saw. I am playing on my Bloodmage 2k hp and decent armor and I got a shrine that gave me 85% res. But I still got lasered in 1.5 seconds by a white mob.
There's got to be a bug(s) or something, because this shouldn't happen. Last bumped on Oct 16, 2025, 8:39:05 PM

Ill tell you from experience.
These are indie devs. Theres minimal testing. We the players have always been testing for them and fixing and updating have been slow and confusing. Its geting tiresome. |

Your 85% res only helps against elemental damage, and even then it’s not full immunity.
This dosen't cover physical, chaos per example. 2k HP, that’s not a lot. Most white mobs with beam or channeled attacks can output several thousand damage per second if you stand still for the full duration. So what probably happened is: the laser dealt mixed or penetrating damage, part of which ignored your resistances entirely, and your low HP pool just couldn’t outlast the burst. PoE 2’s mitigation layers (armor, recovery, block, etc.) matter a lot more than just resistances now. |

" I have no choice but to stand still if the AI is programmed to surround me and also have every single ability to slow me. |

" That makes sense. Considering I've noticed most of the support gems and uniques are useless. |

It's this kind of post that makes me give up reading this forum sometimes. I can only imagine how depressing it must be for whoever on GGG has to go through this shit as a job lmao
If you're reading this, keep strong man |

" Depressing? For addressing a possible bug or mistake? |

2k hp bloodmage is unacceptable, you need around 10k or something. What? Don’t have enough divs to buy equipments? Git gud normie.

" Are you trying to suggest they have any idea how to balance things? Because they don't. Almost everything is completely random in every way, I doubt they even gather any data about how skills work in normal play. Or they're just using AI to hallucinate "hey let's add 15 second cooldown to a skill and make monsters teleport to you in 0.1sec and kill you in 2". In fact I'm starting to think this game is completely managed by ChatGPT. Would also explain why they are just copying everything from PoE1, since that's the only data they've trained it on. |

" 3500 life is fine. You just need to divert damage away from life. Send a % to mana, especially if you also take Eldritch Battery. Speccing into hellhound is another damage redirection. And so on. SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.
