Honestly, poison doing so much damage is a terrible design.
Title pretty much. What's the point of having a single poison cloud or bite from a leech do over 70% of my health? Basically if you're not pushing over 150 health you're going to get two shot by poisons. They either shouldn't last so long, or shouldn't tick for over 3 damage per. This game has some really great things about it but the poison is by far one of the worst.

Because walking around with a stack of poison mead at all times is absolutely a great use of an inventory slot and totally something that's available at all times. It's not like the mead takes 30 minutes to ferment, or that it's easy to stumble through a swamp when trying to make it to your destination.

This is a survival game... which means you are meant to prepare... either suck it up, like a buttercup, or prepare...

That's what poison does. In fact, some of them should also come with a stun effect

Leeches were entirely nerfed already. They used to be silent aquatic killers. Now they chomp and screech and their nameplates are visible for a much longer period of time. If you're dying to them now... I just dunno what to say.

Also, if you're not just standing on land and putting a couple arrows in them and are trying to melee them instead... Bad idea.

Do you utilize the cauldron? It will help you immensely. Good luck!

"Yeah man they're entirely nerfed already, yknow, they play audio signals you'll hear over the fight your having with the draugr and skeletons. Oh the blob? you'll see him from miles away KEK NERFED. Oh and if you're not playing the way I play its a bad idea."

"you're supposed to be prepared for the fog of war that you have no idea what biome it will be bro, suck it up."

"You gotta be prepared for that biome you arent trying to go through and had no idea it was there, bro bro SUCK IT UP"

You are having a hard time, we get it. this is a common PEBCAK error.

the ingredients for poison resist are pretty common, just need a small honey farm. Go to sleep and let it ferment, it will be done in no time.

Well, playing the way that gets you killed isn't exactly a great idea. And you can see blobs from miles away, especially at night. They glow green.

It sounds like you just got swamped (heh) by too many baddies at once and the thing that happened to do you in was a leech. It happens. Doesn't mean anything needs to be made easier, especially since there are already solutions in the game.

Good news! The poison resist mead both lowers its damage and its duration!

You can absolutely circumvent going through swamps! You choose both your route and your destination! And if either of those involves a swamp, a stack of poison resist mead is indeed worth an inventory slot! Alternatively, you can bring a great many arrows and ensure you never get melee'd by a leech (which never leave the water) or a blob (which have very slow and predictable movement).
Preparation and planning is extremely important in this game, and the swamp does its best to teach you these virtues before you enter the next few zones.
