Why all these crazy stacks of defences?

My guy what is going on right now? You're the one who posted a thread about being stuck on this content. Like I'm really trying not to be rude with my answer here but "why all these crazy stacks of defences" is an absolutely wild question to ask someone who has successfully cleared content that you're stuck on.

Just to be clear so you don't have to ask again, the crazy defenses are to help me stay alive so that I can clear the content successfully.

How do you even enjoy spending an hour in one map ?

I don't know dude, how do you even enjoy failing to clear T1 pinnacle content that I walked through half-asleep weeks ago? Different strokes for different folks I guess.

While you obsessed over how quickly you could clear maps I focused on preparing to overcome this pinnacle content.

Even if you keep progressing this way

I made more progress while you were writing this f'ing post.

Probably you will die on the spot because you lack the damage.

Hey here's an idea, how about instead of spending time predicting what will probably kill me in the future you focus on fixing what is currently killing you in the present?

The game is challenging to fit everything in your gear but it's just impossible

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

For your info, I cleared almost the entire game, but only Simulacrum is another story. Which is why I'm here to state that it has a bad flaw system.

Why do you even need to be rude? We are discussing here and trying to put thoughts together, and I understand your points, it's just not my style and boring so you don't have to be mad if I don't accept your gameplay style.

Also, I'm pretty sure I did not come here asking for help. Besides, I came writing for the devs' feedback about the situation of Simulacrum, so perhaps you are starting to imagine things.

How hard is it to beat a damn Simulacrum 50 splinters?

Have never tried a Simulacrum before, not even in poe1, but tried it yesterday as Arc. It was insane. Managed to get through in the end, but died around 40 times. Amusingly, the bosses were mostly okay, but when 30-40 enemies with gigantic AoE and various effects camp out over the spawn point, I can't get off 1 spell or one dodge roll without being dead before I come out of the roll.

I've no idea at all how this is supposed to be possible without infinite respawns on higher difficulties.

Enemies are 10 times faster than us, they all attack in a simultaneous horde, and as a caster I get completely destroyed. Even with 7000-ish Energy Shield.

But ofc, some streamer with 20 million dps will complain it's too easy, so let's make it harder still.

Thank you for these nice facts. Now imagine you are playing the only character that is capable of doing Simulacrum, and you find it extremely hard, and compare it to the other characters that can't do the same AOE against all those 30-40 unkillable mobs.

This is why I'm here, writing a post about the frustration of this mechanic.

When it comes to the streamers, they are supported by their viewers and they have a load of currency compared to a normal average player. The devs need to notice the difference here and focus on the average players statements, not streamers who find it way too easy after having an external source of currency.

Guy you can't possibly be serious right now.

I started extremely politely hours ago. I took screenshots and posted videos and gave you advice like everyone else.

I'm being a little rude because you asked "How to beat a damn Simulacrum" and then a bunch of people answered your question and you insulted, ignored, and dismissed everything they said because apparently before you even posted this thread you already made up your mind that the only way to beat a damn simulacrum is for GGG to rebalance the game because of course you are incapable of error and everything you've done is perfect and correct and amazing and everyone else is wrong forever like are you happy?

What does that even mean? There are several people in this thread playing different builds and characters clearing Simulacrum without problems.

The only good builds I can see struggling in Simulacrums are pure ES casters, because they don't get time to recharge their ES. Other than that, it's pure cope.

Anyway, keep playing what's fun to u, but don't complain if u can't do content that counters ur build. Simulacrum used to be a build and defense check in PoE aswell, so I doubt it will change in PoE2.

Btw. as Kerchunk already pointed out, if u don't want help/answers then don't phrase ur title as a question.

This has got to be the funniest thread on the forums right now... zero defences and wondering why they are dying to content designed to strain your defenses...

its not defences, its lack of damage. Because these simulacrum zerg rush can be beaten just by deleting all monsters before they come close.
So there are few options:
you are overgeared,
or play supertanky build with self sustain,
or you die.

Even op LA build require some gear threasholds to do it. And the highest requirement is dps check.

Typical poe1-encounter.

Regarding the high amount of resistance its a reflection of a mirror tier ring with 3 damage modifiers and 3 resistance modifiers, breach ring. So, regarding the resistance dropping, that will not make any sense.

What dosen't make any sense is this :
