I keep getting one shotted by all kinds of instant mechanics.
This should never happen, in any game, in any difficulty level. I have no idea why I have to come here to even say this.

Youāre correct it shouldnāt happen this is why you have a Dodge ability.
You also can pick skills which Grant immunity.
You can also use something called positioning.
I donāt think you understand what the word āinstantā means. Because I would like to see you position yourself, dodge or use an ability to counter something instant.

Iāve played through the entire campaign as a Necromancer, gone up against every single campaign boss, and Iāve fought most of the dungeon bosses.
Iāve not encountered an āinstantā one shot mechanic from any boss or monster. Iāve died, yes, but never to a āone shotā mechanic. Every single big attack that a boss throws my way has been one Iāve been able to see coming and move out of the way from.
So what enemy are you fighting exactly thatās causing you to die instantly?
All bosses have a wind up animation for their large attacks, or are visually telegraphed on the ground. I suggest you learn their visual cues.
Its not from bosses. I donāt know exactly what they are. Perhaps they are not instant, but it doesnāt really matter. If you are fighting multiple elites at once (very common) there is so much going on, and if you cant survive a hit from any of their abilities, you die. I would consider that instant, because you cannot possibly keep track of everyhing on the screen. Which means, the damage they make needs to be reduced. Or they have to seriously buff the Necro survivability.

Again, I have to ask you what are you fighting?
Because Iāve seriously gone through the entire game while levelling, doing content in both World Tier 1 and 2 and never encountered a one-shot mechanic.
Beyond World Tier 2 the game gets considerably harder, so if youāre getting one shot there, then perhaps youāre not ready for that mode even though you were able to clear the capstone dungeon.
Maybe itās time for you to invest into Resistances. Back in D2 the most feared Elites were those with Lightning, especially if youāre melee, where each hits releases a wave of lightning ballsā¦ Lightning resist was an absolute must. 
Would be handy to have a death log to show what killed you.
Yes it would be nice with a log. So you can see what type of damage you took as well.

I know what you mean, games busted im currently sitting with over 80 percent damage reduction, 20 thousand life and get 1 shotted in tier 69 dungeons. The guy saying he hasnt gotten 1 shotted in wt 1 and 2 well thats because its wt 1 and 2. The game is dark souls, you cant make any mistakes, and with 50 monsters on my screen and the affixes for nm dungeons its impossible to dodge everything. Blizzard needs to nerf the monster damage because no way should i be getting 1 shotted with 80 percent damage reduction and 20 thousand life.

Uninstalled the game. Also one of those reasons. You cross patch as a Sorc with 2 or even 1 strong ice affix Mob Boss and youāre praying that you donāt die. Itās mind boggling difficult to find reasons why someone would design a class (Sorcerer) so bad and weak compared to the others. Will follow up if a) the loot table was reworked, b) the gold-wall has been removed for respecs and c) the sorc uniques are doing more than forcing a sacrifice, while all other classes have best in slot items as unique. No, I donāt want to play other classes. No, an autist one-shotting Uber Litlith with a crazy ball lightning build is not a reference.

All of this assumes a reasonable pingā¦ Thatās adorable and realistic if youāre not 200MS out of syncā¦ at which point none of this applies and youāre dead.
The number of times Iāve had my corpse squarely outside of rendered strike range only to be told āYouāre dead, sucker!āā¦ Ditto for waiting on the immune skill to procā¦
This issue is exacerbated when you level up because your kit remains garbage for long stretches while you grind for something usefulā¦
This is likely a reason for all the incessant whining about scalingā¦ You end up praying for kit upgrades before you level and start getting spikedā¦ must say, there is nothing less funā¦

You get not everybody lives in the same country as youā¦ .right?

Orā¦ Stop blaming the servers or game for a ping issue when you know you live in a country with bad ping, buttercup.
That was the whole point, because we know it isnāt an issue in general. 
Thank you for being honest and admitting you know itās an ISP issue.
TIL that speed-of-light constraints are an āISP issueā ā¦ thanks, Eienstein. Much appreciated.
Bigotry takes many forms. Maybe consider this in future?.. (Who am I kiddingā¦)

Or, you could be honest and start a post crying about ping as
āI live in a country where below 200ms ping is impossibleā¦ā and continue from there, instead of the disingenuous nature of omitting that detail and intimating it is the Gameās issue.
