Mechanic questions (very frustrating)

[Schtroumpf]

Hello everyone.
I play this game since some days now and while i have much fun, somes "little" things makes the game really annoying.

Hope you guys can answer me cause i don't understand how the game works sometimes.

1)I have a white mage with 24k HP lvl 73. The spell "Absorb Shield" say it gives a shield of 1.5M. BUT when the shield proc, sometimes it get ONE SHOTED from nowhere, and sometimes i feel invincible. I don't understand the shield mechanic. While 24k HP suffice on my lvl, a 1.5M shield should never drop, can you help me about it please cause it's really really annoying and frustrating to die cause the shield get litteraly OS.

2)I have the same feeling about the fallen paladin "Divine Shield" skill. I got 1.3M hp lvl 150, and my shield should absorb 90M damage. But sometimes for no reason, it gets one shoted too.
I really don't understand.

3)I play Demon Slayer now(after letting my white mage cause of the shield...), i maxed "light in darkness" to leech life with katana. With Shotgun i regen 5k per tick cause of 14% on my weapon. When i switch to Katana, the spell say i should leech life 28k HP (with weapon damage synergy), but when i hit, i show(and feel) only 5k too....any explications ?

By advance, thx for reading and thx for your usefull answers.

Regards

#1 and #2 are pretty much identical. I do know that this one shot you speak of does happen when you're standing in a large mob or when there's a massive amount of projectiles on your person. The damage of the enemies is calculated by yours as well. I do NOT know the calculation, but I know that the enemies DO get more powerfula s you yourself do.

As for #3, I hope someone else can give you an answer for that one...

Thx for the answer. I understand that mobs do more damage the more we get powerful. It's normal.
What i don't understand is how can i tank(with regen) near every mob with 24k hp while a shield of 1.5M getting OS ?
The ratio is the same for the fallen paladin, 2M HP atm, it's normal at my lvl(a friend with viking has 3.5M full stamina while we play together, i mean wormhole lvl ~30), but my shield of now 120M getting OS.
I mean a shield of a 60 TIMES !!! the amount of my HP drop so easily.
Maybe some mob have the ability to ignore or os shield ? If yes, we have 0 informations about it.
Anyway, thx again for your answer.
Have fun.

I'm starting to think that the shields don't take armor and dodge into account for how much damage is incoming. This would make sense as far as the sheild being OS.

I'll proceed to explain how does the White Mage works so you can feel the beauty of the design.
White mages are trashed on Hero Siege community (check some youtube videos about) as a very glitched character, which HE IS NOT. The concept behind is a simple but imersive change: each time you put the white circle on the floor you get heals. 10% of the time you get heals you proc a shield with said strenght. here comes the simple mechanic which the indicative is hidden: you can proc more than one shield! That's right, if you spam layers and layers of white circle you can get like x26 shields working at the same time which makes you just like you stated: IMMORTAL. Now why is this necessary? Why don't the game tells you how many shields you have on a given time so you can strategically retreat and make more shields? That's because of the immersion clausule. You see, someone on the devteam prolly thought that'd be nice to shown in the HUD how many shields you have but then they argued about White mage being a acolyte of faith, and as such, you gotta believe that you have enough shields. White circles, you might consider as a form of pray before a battle, you put'em layers until you have no mana then face the evil with a glorious 100million+ EHP. Aditionally, on the face of the enemy, you can refresh said shields putting more layers of those circles, making White Mage a close combat character, once you have to stay in the white circle areas.

ARE YOUR FAITH STRONG ENOUGH HERO?
