Worst Archnemesis mod combinations you've come across

Lightning Strider. That's it.

Since they lowered the HP (twice) I can vaporize most before they do much but since I'm a prototype user and those stupid things hardly make sound and are semi-transparent I only need to hit the AN once and not see it and I'm instantly dead. They can throw 10 mods at me, not an issue.

Don't have any issues with Heralding or Mana Siphon. I can see those clearly.

Not enough armor then. I don't think Strider or Heralding is a DOT. It's a hit, so having high Armor should mitigate the hit enough for it to not be lethal.

Mana Siphoner is the biggest threat for Doryani's Prototype user as that is a Lightning DOT effect. And this game doesn't have that many tools to mitigate DOT effects. Most deaths in this league was to some sort of Damage Over Time. Either a strong degen under my feet (left by mobs like Permafrost), impale, bleed, corrupted blood, poison, wither etc. There are A LOT of DoT effects and not many tools to counter them.

I don't know why but GGG seems to gravitate towards one-shot deaths. By one-shot deaths I mean deaths that happen after like about one second of attacks. They just happen so fast it seems like one-shot.

They have to be doing degen. Don't think they did before but they do with AN.

I have 84% base Phys reduction with 8% converted to Fire. 88% Fire Res, 80% Cold, 6.2k HP 900 ES, regen 1.8k HP/s, 1k ES/s, 70/75% Glancing Blows. I'm a beefy boy. They instantly kill me which could only be Degen. Heralding I can survive a hit because I can see them pretty sure they have degen.
Never died to Siphon. Very easy to see.

If Granite is up I'm 88% Phys Reduction. If either of my Pantheons are fully active I also have 87/88%. If any combination is half up I'm 90% capped. I have an Avian but it converts to Cold which is lower than my Phys so not much point when my Amulet is -%Lightning.

I can link you my PoB if you want. It makes no sense if they're doing "Hits".

Archnemesis is staying permanent. POE is done because of it for most. If they cared about all the complaints it would have been removed already. This is what the company wants. It stays with the 1%. It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about it. Its the vision. I bet if 99% of the players quit and posted on the forums till the server crashed, AN would still survive. Everyone bought cosmetics at league reveal. GGG made their quota already. And they held back the truth about things to get those dividends!!! Think about it.

Hey, I got one. I only paid attention because he didn't die in a second, lol
