One shots and insta-deaths

[Maximemoring]

Okay, so this has been happening constantly in the multiple months I've been going on and off the game because of that very issue, and it's still a glaring issue! Every. Single. Death. is either a one-shot or an insta-death (multiple damage procs instantly from one enemy equaling over my max HP). It makes this whole game simply unfun. I even tried making a new character in case some things were changed and something made it so those one-shots and insta-deaths were happening. Didn't change anything.

It always goes something close to this: All normal enemies barely even hurt me, then one enemy out of nowhere is strong enough to instantly kill me. And I do not mean "oh they shot three arrows/bullets" and I got hit by all three in a row and died", no. Actual one-shots or instant deaths.

Why don't you just implement some small invincibility window when you get hit? Something like 0.5sec to stop annoying deaths like 4-instant-damage-proc deaths from happening?

I won't be playing until this gets somehow fixed.

Which enemy causes this kind of issue?

[Maximemoring]

I'd be inclined to say any, but up the top of my head, excluding bosses, because of course they do, the thrown acid (multi-hit insta-death), the swordmen skeletons (multi-hit insta-death), archer skelettons (one-shot), the thrown freezing hammer things in second area (one-shot), etc.

It seems to be a generalized issue. Sometimes multiple bullets/arrows are on top of each other from pilled up enemies and are enough to insta-kill. (which would be fixed by having a small invincibility window after a hit)

It's not an issue of "I didn't see my life go down", I lifesteal about 1/6 of my health pet hit and I shoot really fast with both characters. (One 60ish, new one 25ish)
I do manage my equipement too, it's not a matter of not knowing how the game works.

Unless you're level 150 and are baseline ilvl 850+ while low WH level, this will almost always happen.

Melee toons, minus Pally, are in a bit of a poop schute right now because of it.

[Maximemoring]

Then this needs to be fixed ASAP, because I'm sure I'm not the only one driven away from this game by it. I'm sure not many people actually like to be insta-killed until 30 hours in.

[WallaceTheSane]

There's a few that see this as an issue, but most aren't bothered by it.

I know damn well it's frustrating to watch it happen, as while leveling, it happens more often that it should, but then I jsut gave up on melee toons and did pally and ranged because of it.

[Maximemoring]

It's annoying and I exclusively play ranged characters.

Death by dot. Enclosed in a 2 by 2 room with a 50 by 50 size boss. Grim Reaper. The list goes on.

I'm really trying to get back into this game, but ever since the major changes a couple years back, it's been tough for this game to hold my interest. The game is good. Used to be ridiculously fun. Now, you're just as likely to die by dots at level 150 in amazing gear as you are when you're level 1 and naked. Reduction doesn't seem to do anything at all even if that's the only stat you put into it. Same goes for every stat really. The bonus you get from applying stats just isn't enough to justify putting stats in multiple things for that "perfect build."

Currently, I'm trying to progress through normal modes but guess what's stopping me? Grim Reaper. I know the mechanics well, but one teeny tiny mistake costs my shaman it's life. I've tried adding reduction, but again, doesn't matter. Everything one shots no matter the build, no matter the gear.

It's just not fun anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love challenges. But I've been sitting here for the better part of 3 hours literally fighting Grim Reaper over and over again. I just want to beat the damn thing so I can actually PROGRESS with my character. But it doesn't really look like that's going to happen.

We've made some changes to some enemies (currently in beta).

oh guys.
you've barely even seen the game.
when you get 150 - that's a different story. and then you start wormholing.
once you're there - any (literally) minion can slay you.
avoid getting damage. run in circles. git gud.
everyone else maybe should consider a bit slower game (c) egoraptor

[[3TON] DieMedium]

but yeah, grim reaper is a buzz killer.

[Fluff]

Melee is not usable in any situation in wormhole, they are at a strict disadvantage. Ranged can dodge while shooting from afar, making it easier to play in wormhole. I believe a boost in armor for melee only characters could make them a lot better

dont expect any change it was a problem in season 2 and it will be there in season 4

you have to find own workarounds for the problem like using ankh relic and restart session after first death. it is the best way to protect against losing all relics

I'm not at that point where I'd go out of my way to cheat in order to make a game not as annoying.

[WallaceTheSane]

It's not cheating if it's perfectly allowed, and Ankh is a part of the game.
