So you mean, like every other ARPG ever?
In every one of them, meta will be the 3-5 strongest builds and those will change season to season, with the previous meta being slightly nerfed and some of the weaker ones being buffed to meta status.
No, they aren’t. Meta builds are simply the top performing ones. Non-meta builds are any build that isn’t meta.
You can do pretty much all content with almost any build in PoE1. And yet, only a handful of them are meta.

The only thing is bothering me is DoT’s on dodge characters, coz DoT’s you know don’t give a shit about dodge and some boss attacks looks like hit, but they are dots actualy. This is some stuff I need to cook to understand.

the whole post looks like “first time playing and dying”, this is normal, learn and survive
The situation that killed you has nothing to do with meta builds existing or not.
If you have 100 builds that do 100 damage each and you have 5 builds that do 101 damage, those 5 builds are meta, even if they are not vastly above the others.
I don’t think you know what that actually means. People disagreeing with you isn’t gaslighting.
Anyway, there is no point in arguing with you any further. You’re not interested in having an actual discussion. You just want to insult and vent and dismiss any attempt of people actually helping you.
You could have posted your build and people could have told you ways to improve your build so you don’t die so often, but you’d rather just be insulting and throw a tantrum. So have a nice day.
Man, I am interested now which build you played. Paladin? heartseeker? 
You know game have layers of defences? 5k ward or 5k hp literaly nothing without layers. Try to survive in poe with 5k hp and zero eva/arm/dodge
What you need to knwo is ehp and max hit dmg for each type of damage plus hit/dot
I havent been seeing you helping me. But your are right! I am ventiong steam. For a good reason. My lost time! The last hours i was just desperatly trying to fix this issue and finally failed wherefore i exploded. And i wont give this bullshit another attempt but move on and tell my experiences.
have a good day sir!
Easy, don’t touch my ego, we are not close enough. If you want help just ask, this is rage post and you get what you started lol
and again, my builds don’t have to much dps, stop imaging things. Because for new players defence (fat) builds better, they are more mistakes forgiving.
Mate, you have 0% phys res; 5% armor mitigation and 8% dodge chance, and you wonder why you are struggling?

I would start by getting a proper helmet, because your current one is pretty much useless.
I think you are keeping the relic because of the mana spent gained as ward implicit, but you seriously should find another one. You also have 2 T2 affixes on your belt, so that is another thing to change for something better.
Invest in other defenses than just relying on ward.
lol 0 phys res, I died day ago coz of that on some after death bs phys mechanic 
You may wish to chill a bit (ironic given this is what killed your character & resulted in all of this), games shouldn’t result in this level of emotional damage disquiet.
Given it was the cold DoT from this, none of those stats were relevant & he did actually have 69% cold resist…
It’s not, it’s a dps option (lightning skill, shock chance, lightning pen).
Its completly insignifcant on that corruption level with 5k. I was playing with 2,2k on ~300 already without any issues. And as heavy stated, 300-600 corruption easy. So i guess we both agree that with 5k ward even with low other layers ~110 should be4 possible, correct? Its simply a matter of mathematics.

thats my mega-meta mage with some tuning after loosing my virginity deathless with 0% phys res=)
wrong person reply, sorry about that
mathematics: you get your ass whiped with 0% resistance on area 75+ level
Did you see why ds_lily failed to kill uber something? Exactly coz of resistances, welcome to club
I was mostly referring to this quote from original post:
Because, while he did mention that 1 Frozen Wolf death, he didn’t say anything about other times, but did say that he gets killed once every two monos, so I’d assume that those stats are somewhat relevant.
To be honest I doubt that he got 1-shot, and instead got hit by multiple things at the same time (or in very quick succession).
And all of those can be received from other pieces of gear, can’t they? So instead of having 1 piece of a set gear, he could just get those stats on other pieces, while having a proper helmet with defense stats.
