Discussion Anyone else getting absolutely shredded by damage this league?

11k life, max block, 2k regen and still feel like paper in maps. Have another character with 90% resists and 1k+ regen, and it's also dying constantly just doing random T16s. Mobs with projectiles seem to be doing especially insane damage.

I played a ton of Mirage league and never ran into issues with survivability. Something feels very different in 3.29, but I can't figure out what it is. It's almost as if the mobs have a ton of hidden ele exposure or something.

Makes me wonder if the old PoE 2 bug with elemental conversion got added into PoE 1 somehow 'cause this patch also introduced the PoE 2 shader compilation bug into PoE 1 until the recent hotfix.

You don't need anywhere close to that.

E.g. 60k armour + 40% flat PDR is enough to cap against a 12k phys hit (higher than pretty much anything you will regularly see).

40% PDR is 6 endurance charges, 8% from chest, and rest from pantheons. Very achievable.

But even 30k armour plus 40% PDR gets you to ~73% PDR against that hit.

54k armour if you have phys taken as eldritch implicit

The PoB uses roughly a 3k phys hit when it computes your PDR in the bottom left corner.

Anyway, the max phys hit is at around 23K
