How to not get one shot?

[Outsider]

I've finally arrived at a point where game just one shots me with pretty much anything that isn't white mob.
What are some not-obvious/implicit defense mechanisms that most people miss when they arrive at red maps?
Between 6k HP, 8k armor, maxed elem res and around 40% chaos res I still die in one hit from yellow mobs, syndicate people and bosses.
I also have fortify and arctic armor.
I tried stacking endurance charges and immortal call, tried using them separately, but it barely helps.

Do more damage and kill things before they can 1 shot you. Don't play melee. Know what things can oneshot you. Pray.

On what type of maps does this happen? Or is it in delve?

[Outsider]

In red rare/corrupted maps. I don't even dare to go further into green ones.
In delve I'm not that deep yet, at depth 120+ I don't have any problems, but niko spawns way too rarely to quickly advance here.

The issue is any sort of yellow maps are not a threat to me, even if they have reflect on them, I can adapt to that.
But red maps are a huge jump in difficulty.

hows your clearspeed?
80k (107k with vulnerability curse) total DPS in PoB sounds not much

also whats a green map? o.Ô

[Outsider]

Hydra something? A tier 17 16 map that I once got, it's green in color so it's called green?
As for DPS yeah, I'm working at collecting regret stones and fixing my tree. It will roughly double my DPS, but it won't fix my survivabilty, so I assume I'm missing something in terms of gems or maybe flasks.

Ok apparently tier 16 maps all have their own different color. Interesting. I assume they contain some big strong bosses that will annihilate me

[Grumpy]

best case would be to record a video so that others can better understand where you struggle in t11 maps.

[Outsider]

Since nvidia sh@t the bed with geforce experience fiasco recording long videos became a problem for me.
What's everyone's go-to recording software these days? That compresses on the fly and doesn't make 100+ gb videos like fraps?

[Grumpy]

personally I use OBS for the like 3 videos I record per year

[Outsider]

Ok I'll try it.
I kinda don't want to waste my exp, but if it will help people help me so be it.

T16 maps count as red maps. They have special icons because each of their bosses drops a fragment for the map to the T17 map.

The teleport slam from the Malachai-a-like bosses is telegraphed so well, you should never take the hit, just get out of the way (movement speed, movement skill etc).
It's starts at about 2:15 and kills you at 2:19 because you didn't move enough.

You're not supposed to tank that.

[Outsider]

Yeah you can see that frame by frame, but in actual game where everything is so fast, so red and you have temporal chains it's almost impossible to dodge 100% of everything without running into something else.

[kekkuli]

Well like i suspected you are doing way too low damage. And that is one of the hardest map bosses in the game especially for melee builds. Your sustain doesn't seem to be that great either. There are clearly lot of flaws in your build.

[Grumpy]

with that damage you should not do higher red maps, especially not with your reflect avoidance strategy of using wild strike which doing more crappy damage than your lacerate setup.

start with doing the more simple t11 and adjust your char for red maps. you pushing way too fast. also keep in mind that it might be better to not corrupt the red maps if you just have 1 of each. do a red map first as rare uncorrupt for the drop availability and later if you have more of this red map you can do corrupt runs.

actually no, in that last slam you just stand there and besides the slam animation and the few zombies there was no relevant action near your char. and given that you whirling blades is quite quick the excuse with the slow dont count either.

seeing your damage on the zombies its understandable that you rip on normal monsters
