Insta-killing myself with any attack...

this happens only in endgame maps, usually after I change scarabs or any map settings. I go in the map, do any kind of damage, instantly die. Doesn't happen all the time but it hurts a lot every time.

A lot of exp lost to it, a lot of currency in juiced maps... Very, very disappointing in a game that's been around this long. The possibility of it happening deters me from playing. Even if I close the game and reopen, it still happens. I need to start another map for the effect to go away (even if it's a harder one).

My first thought would be the Map has Damage Reflection.

You'd really need to post a screenshot of the list of modifiers of an affected Map to know for sure.

Monsters reflect 26% of elemental damage. Profile is hidden, but you are dealing some kind of elemental damage.
Thanks for your report, your image shows that the map has "Monsters reflect 26% of Elemental Damage".
Damage reflection claim another newbie exile
Poe players vs jjk fans on who reads less
Holy postage stamp screenshot batman.

Without knowing your build, I would say Reflect.

[edit] Points up to GGG staff response.

Does it count if the JJK fans have the map mods read to them so that explaining the effects make the monsters stronger?
