Send POB if possible.

That sounds interesting.
Can you share PoB?

First of all the chance of getting 1 shotted in this game is high and also happen to experienced people.
Especially with the t16 metamorph bosses right now.

Second by spending 100 ex on a char i hardly think its the gear letting you die.
And i assume that you made a build following one of the guides on the GGG's site.

And third and main conclusion it is lack of experience. You just didnt practice enough or didnt learn from a fight where you die.
If you dont know the mechanism of the fights and you run in blindly you die fast.
So analyse youre death's, watch video's about it or watch video's about boss fights and you become an experienced player.

At last if you need help here or on the official GGG forum share a POB so another friendly gamer can help you.
If you have questions about what i said just pm me.

For clear get chest with mod: "Killed Enemies Explode, dealing 3% of their Life as Physical Damage", explosions chain clear and damage scales on monster life, so you'll always have appropriate damage.

You may still have trouble with metamorphs.


The reason are stacking buffs from organs + buffs from map + buff from awekening bonus that skyrockets their damage and life.

The way that worked for me were multiple forms of mitigation, in particular

1) reduced damage from critical strikes (you can get that mod on belt, corrupted chest, shield and tree) - they will almost always have high crit on high tier maps.
2) block and/or dodge - I got legion jewel that gives glancing blows and that gives solid block chance with minimal investment and 50% of damage goes through (but it's enough to prevent one shoots if you block)


Be on a constant move, don't let them hit you in the first place.

my advice: games shit, dont play it

This is my setup currently, it is abit different from the one you see in youtube, using ensnaring arrow totem for that 20% increased damage as well

Chains of command with oro's sacrifice is probably the fastest clear for the lowest budget you can get right now. My build has about 2ex invested and 1 is in the wand that you barely need.

I can do everything except awakening level 7+ conqs no problem, 200 level delving I just stand around and do nothing. [fast delve farming is probably the biggest strength of chains of command builds]

Most t16 metamorphs go down quickly but by now there needs to be an understanding that once in a while one of them is going to kill you.

Unfortunately though Ive hit a wall and have needed to build a zombiemancer to chain farm metamorphs in the lab [biggest weakness of the build] and to do awakening level 8 content.

Imagine talking about something you've never tried or don't have a clue about. Allience and some other top runners have entire gear sets worth multiple mirrors to be that powerful. I've always run budget zombies and I'm still averaging 2-5 ex just to get up and running. I've easily hit 100ex + buying awakened gems as well including multistrike. I've noticed in most of your posts you talk like you're intelligent and know everything. Seems to be the exact opposite.

you can do a8 sirus and uber elder on a 5 link and no other armor, you don't need shit to get zombies rolling.

Just because you suck and need to use 5ex on a braindead build doesn't mean it requires it.

While I agree with everything you said, it’s still not realistic to do it and be efficient. I was on 2 ex of gear first week doing over 300 Sirus kills, doesn’t mean it was fun. I upgraded gear, put my phone on space for cyclone and afk in t16 blighted maps with 3x golden oil since
