Oneshotted half the time, what am I doing wrong?

Bro your es is insanely low on everything
More chaos res, more ES. Your body armor ES is very low. It should have at least 600 if you are trying to stack res on it. Or go for less res, 750+ ES.
Consider CI builds so you don't need to worry about chaos res.
You need more rarity
Super low ES with no block or evasion on top of that.
You're taking triple the chaos damage that you would with 75% res.
For starters, quality your gloves and boots, and put sockets on those and your helm and add iron times to up your energy shield
ES is so low. I run 5k+ ES with the shards so i get to 10k, and still do occasionally die. you're 20% of that. plus no chaos res
Replace body armor with something with 600 base es (or just use ghostwrithe, you'll have to compensate lost resistances elswhere, but also get a lot of chaos res) and move a lot of tree nodes to ES%. You should aim at ~5000 base ES before grim feast at the very least.
you have no evasion, no armor and no block so basically no def lol
I would like to add 2 of the best defensive stats in the game are high damage and high movement speed, killing things before they can even look at you is a very real defense in path of exile. The quicker you kill things the less time they have to hit you after all.
U Play poe2 thats why haha
You need waaaay more es. And equip a shield. Even if you don't use active block, you will notice the random blocks. Also get some stun threshold based on energy shield as soon as you have more on it.
Time to start using the trade website. For probably less than 50 exalted you can double your ES and max your chaos res. Just to give you an idea: I have a body armour with 1k evasion and 400 ES than nobody wants to buy for 20 exalted.
Your hp is too low. Your squishy.
Ghostwrithe robe, use grim feast, try adding a temp chains blasphemy if possible to reduce amount of times you actually get hit.
And here I am with negative resistances and like 200 total ES lol
0 armor 0 evasion 0 block lol
Its 100% your chaos resistance, those cultist mobs or random poison crabs do chaos/poison damahe as their base so you legit nuked even with 28% - 75% makes a massive difference ontop Im rocking 1.8k hp plus 3.8k es and can tank most hits easily
Are you running Grim Feast?
Positioning
Life and ES are too low for not having any evasion or armour.
My Level 50 hardcore Infermalist has more HP, Energy Shield and utilizes Mind over Matter mana shield too.
That's a clear sign your building wrong.
Need more energy shield. I'm level 93 and with grim feast have just over 16k and don't usually have any issues. I'm also an infernalist.
I heard once if your randomly being one shotted it has to do with chaos dmg, try maxing chaos res and then see if it helps
Energy shield is too low and you don't have enough chaos res. To go with ES most people also get some evasion too. Some defensive passives might help get ES and Ev. up or you can look for chaos res on amulet and/or rings.
consider a chaos inoculation version of your build (immune to chaos)
Quality your boots and gloves and put sockets in them. Gamble for upgrades at alva first and then replace them and do the thing.
Standing in fire much?
You should have picked warrior. Tsk tsk tsk
You should get chaos inoculation
Seems like your main defensive stat is energ shield and yet your ehp is pitifully low even with grim feast. Aim for 10k with grim feast.
You have very low chaos res. In addition, your energy shield is very low, considering it is your only defensive layer.
No armor, no evasion, so you're face tanking everything at 100% damage except 3 elemental types.
About a third of the ehp you need
Everyone here has given you some solid pointers! I'd like to offer one more: get more spirit. More spirit = more minions = things dying faster = less chances to be one-shotted 🙂
I don't know what kind of build you are but if you can, try to get block.
Most people are abusing MoM, EB, CI, with everlasting gaze(until you get better).
First get a 500-600 es chest with res for like 20-60 ex. Look into those passive skills. Also get max mana rings and ingenuity once you do the rest.
PM me if you need any help. I might even have some old pieces for you
Maybe get CI? Don't know who kills you but when I was playing monk it was then Chao monsters.. or them purple little balls that follow us lol
i maxed my chaos risist, and i had same issues sometimes so i tried so to max block but that was dumb, now i have to do the tips here and spam max Energy sheilds!
ghostwrithe thank me later
Low expectations. When my warrior had same stats but low hpI died in 80%, after I put more curency into more hp and str - now I die in 5% of critical situation.Â
Hmm I wouldn't say your defences are that bad, sure you could have more but. You shouldn't die often / at all if you pay attention.
Looks like a gameplay issue, you need to explain the content you play and what you die to. Could be Chaos damage? But it's not super super common, and the purple thingys effects are avoidable.
No offence no matter what something somewhere will one shot you it’s poe
I’m level 95.
With 85% resistances to better survive elemental cursed maps and 50% chaos.
2K health and 4.5k es, using grim feast to double it to 9k. Effective pool of 11k.
Lastly, 82% evasion.
In short, yeah you need more. Especially if you want to run pinnacle content and higher waystone chance maps
Get closer to 10k ehp and max your chaos rez. Chaos is the most important rez.
Playing PoE2 is basically a getting 1 shot simulator. Everyone is saying juice your EHP, I say boost your damage. Can't get one shot if the enemy is dead. (We don't talk about after death effects).
you need more chaosres and waaay more spirit (assuming you are running minions?). More ES and Grim feast for dbl it
Basically everything.
Low health Low ES base 0 block 0 evasion 0 armor Low mana Low chaos res
You gotta maximize your defenses a bit more either with updated gear or by removing some DPS for defenses. Also might be some tweaks to your passive tree that you can do.
Your ES is way too low for a pure int character. You need to spec into more Max ES% nodes in your tree, replace some of your gear with higher ES, and get more chaos res. Some of your gear has juicy triple res but if your ES is 1/2 what it should be it doesn’t matter
Your EHP is simply too low, try to get more ES through whatever means available
