How to get good at identifying mob - 1 shot mechanics

Most of my deaths are not from bosses , but sudden zip into a mob and I attack but nothing happens fast enough , die ... this with kaoms roots and dream fragments. its like i am attacking air or nothing really gets hit.

get into weird red colour maps dont see exploding corpse animation below ( or at least thats what i think) did a shapped siege got one shot in a mob ... red color ground / red / black colour mob i didn't know wtf happned , can only assume 1 shot was from some corpse explosion....

bosses , if you suck at them you can skip them. But random mobs in map You cannot avoid or predict.

Just when i went and re did my aura's and survivability- I got put in my place as a baddie In T14,s T15s.

with Grace+AA combo and spamming enduring cry for 5 charges i was no longer getting 1 shot with abyss mobs.

But then did a couple of T14's and T15's ... and that happens.

Avoid the hit if it is telegraphed. For example the abyss rares special attacks are telegraphed.

Shady, random 1 shots . telegraphed attacks. How do we even predict or mitigate that?
it just feels like cheating , killing randomly you just to ensure you don't level up . Not in terms of difficulty but sheer blatant ridiculous damage spikes / 1 shots out of nowhere.

Id love to see the average deaths / player in this league compared to the previous league.

Play a tankier character until you learn the game. Starting any game with a glass cannon can be frustrating.

Looks like you're playing an evasion based melee. That's the core of your problem right there. Evasion needs backup. You either need a life pool that can take the occasional hit or some other form of mitigation like 9 endurance charges or something. Your character is set up to die every so often... and it will.

Yeah, honestly defensively your character is absolutely horrible and you've got so many wasted skill points while not grabbing the best points. It's 100% your character and nothing else.

Your boots grant you unwavering stance... which means you can't evade attacks. On an evasion based character. Good choice.

It amazes me that someone with this character can have Atziri's gloves and run T14 and T15 maps and not understand such a simple mechanic.

Evasion? what is that? I have IR with Grace , AA and 5 endurance charges. When i mean shady mob 1 shot deaths i meant shady mob 1 shot deaths.

here is a Poe builder link for my char / defenses / dps

I run enfeeble- COH- had an immortal call setup earlier but no space for it atm.

It's your build

You need something like this: http://poeurl.com/bLr9


Why you would not get 100% spell block is beyond me, that's insanely OP node. You are missing a lot of life nodes, you need at least 200% for a melee build. You didn't pick up enough block on tree... You don't need +end charges either because of how glad works and the fact you should be using CWDT+IC+ID lvl 1 setup.

You flasks are messed up, don't use sanctified use divine seething/staunching, you need a rumis flask (get rid of sulfur for it), you don't need acuity at all or VP for that matter. You don't need mings and you need to use a stygian vise.


Whirling blades NEEDS to have fortify on it. YOu are getting hit 20% harder just becuase you aren't doing that. You can trade ice golem for stone golem for taunt+regen. You don't need a totem and you don't need blood rage (you already have passive frenzy charge gain). Drop the mings for a good rolled rare ring. Get some chaos resists on your gear as soon as all your resists are 118%+ it's a nice luxury
Trade acuity for some good rolled rare gloves.


If you do this you aren't going to get one shot by anything that isn't a boss, I think you will find you don't even get hit more than 10 times a map. That doesn't mean you can skimp on life like you are though.

My glad @85 with 1/20th the budget of your did bosses up to t15 just fine, single target was lacking and it took me maybe a minute to kill t15 bosses instead of 5 seconds like with burning spectres. But at least your arent dying to rando mobs and can actually do bosses. I ripped before I could transition into a 100% bleed variant with keystone and haemophilia gloves for better single target. Although I was uses axes so you crit based cleave/sword build might do quite a bit more base.

edit: Here's a screenshot I took a while back of my stats with rumi's flask and basalt up. At 90 you should have over 6k life, and more hp regen (i didnt run stone because no sockets). I forgot to mention that blind on hit jewels are MASSIVELY OP please buy them it will make your build astronomically more tanky as well.
