One Shot mechanic from bosses are getting too far.

[Olivier]

As a hardcore player I know all the risks and I have no problems with dying. I try to understand why I'm dead and I don't do the same mistake twice.

But even with a full tank warrior build and watching videos from boss fight before engaging them, I can't escape a random one-shot blow.

Playing a mace/tower shield build with high armor, Hp, regen and resistances.

I feel almost invincible from a boss. Until he one-shot me.

And I'm not talking about a the kind of hit that you could say ''I have to dodge that because it's gonna hurt.''

So maybe balance the damage output from boss a little bit ? like weak attack do more damage, and the one that could kill any character one-shot a little less deadly.

Otherwise what ? Lets dodge ALL attacks from bosses every time in case it's a one shot hit? Come-on. A tanky build should be able to take at least 1 ''big'' hit.

I love the game, I really enjoyed it. But I think i'll wait few patch to see if they adress that issue a little bit.

thats the point, warrior is designed to tank the normal attacks, the large attacks that are always telegraphed in some way are supposed to be dodged. Tbf i really hope Warrior gets some form of parry skill

Like I said I'm aware of thoses ''big incoming blow'' and I don't try to tank them, there are others not telegraphed that can one shot

[Hanariel]

Aside from those big telegraphed attacks I was never one shoted, and again, playing as a witch.
Seens to me that the problem lies between the chair and the keyboard.

There is only one boss I found that has this issue, and even then, it's still beatable, and that is Viper Napuatzi. It's a rough boss, there is almost zero room for mistakes especially in the poison phalanx phase.

I don't know if energyshield has some weird resists or something, but when I played with my buddies, the tank actually died way before me.

It feels really strange.

this. I can hardly recall there are many bosses that can actually one-shot, unless i'm build super glass cannon. and some of the boss' moves you can see miles away. Dodge without issue. I feel this might a class thing, and this is still in EA. Some of my characters just die faster then others

Instead of blabbering on here and adulating yourself, you could do something useful and give other players helpful tips on how to avoid the problems mentioned. I'm sure some people would be grateful for that

im playing a lvl 55 frost sorc and bosses die so fast, i make them literally skip phases

i perma freeze bosses so much they cant even roll their skill animations

last 10+ boss fights lastet no longer than 30 seconds

[TrashPanda]

Melee feels really bad right now as there is some wonky ♥♥♥♥ going on with bosses and attacks, such as them telegraphing but its not syncing up with where their actual attack is going to hit.

Pretty sure this is an animation issue, and just watching for the animation isn't the start of the attack.

Gorilla boss is bad for this.

Congrats on running a broken build that will get the nerf bat shortly .. Warrior already got theirs.

Honestly, anything hitting for more than 75% of health should pull you to 1 health left. Then something fun like having a dot on you when they perform the 'one shot' would be what ultimately killed you. It would make it more fun. I get one shot after all the mobs are dead. I run in and grab gear then bam, something f'ing explodes that you don't see coming.
