I don't love it when people make choices based on an assumption of GDR and die as a result. Seriously, this is why you should always play as though GDR doesn't exist.

That feeling was result of many games with similar characters, all of them were wearing some armour with GDR (I have never played melee Dr offline). I was just playing as usual and suddenly got really surprised/killed. Technically I didn't die to those 80+ hits but there is very little what you can do when you have several adjacent monsters, all doors locked and some Yaktaurs to make blinking a suicide too (I used fear, then summoning and then tried to heal). What killed me was that lack of GDR, not my thoughts like "I will keep fighting because GDR will save me" as you assumed

No offense man but what killed you was getting into a situation in which several enemies were adjacent to you, with yaktaurs off in the wings, no less. GDR maybe would have given you one more turn before you died, at best, but you would have to be very lucky to get out of that situation alive, regardless of GDR (unless you have revivification or d.door or sanctuary, etc., then yeah you can get out of these kinds of situations pretty well).

Vault warden with battleaxe(attack 36 + 15), Slime Creature (attack 22) and 2 Vampire Mosquitos (attack 13, speed 19). Before you jump on that, please keep in mind that I had AC 27 and with GDR 33% max damage (assuming all 6 AC rolls were 0) would be much less:
1) max damage without GDR: 51 + 22 + 13*4 = 125
2) max damage with GDR 33%: 42 + 15 + 9*4 = 93
Vault warden killed me with 46 damage.
I think second item makes it clear that my feeling was close to truth, it is extremely unlucky to lose 80+ damage to those monsters during a single turn with GDR 33%. But first item makes it clear that it is not that uncommon for Dr.
