I'm a solo ranger trying to clear out the Chamber of Sin(?), and it is literally filled with nothing but lightning archers and lightning skeletons. I can't do anything against them and they pretty much 3-4 shot me. It's especially annoying when the mages use spark and the game desyncs or something and I get hit by invisible spells.

At this point I'm just waiting for OB so my friends can also play instead of soloing.

Well difficulty spikes are similar to D2. If you never played D2 it might seem strange to you. Like D2 this game is punishing to most players that don't know what to expect. Once you go through all content on normal difficulty you can be prepared for it all for higher difficulties and playing with alternate characters.

As for resistances, rule of thumb is don't try to tank elemental damage if you don't have at least 50+% resistance to that element. And against Lightning even that is not enough, you want to be closer to 75%.

Also high life protects you from secondary effects of elemental attacks, cold will only slow you instead of freeze you and shock will last very short time.
