Why is there no nerf to giant collosus 1 shot dagger? I just don't get it. Are they unaware of this?

Who?

I don't recall any 1-shot mechanics. We're on the stupid REPEAT of the three Acts (Feels just like POE 1 all over again) and didn't get any 1-shot mechanics from any bosses and I'm face tanking them.

That does seem like a bug. My witch fought the guy with 600 something HP and didnt get 1 shot by that attack like that. WTF?

Try posting this on GGG's PoE2 Feedback forum or their bug report forum. I dont think they look at steam

It doesn't always oneshot. If you are near him or in some other circumstances you can survive. Also, witch has arctic armor. I don't know why, but arctic armor makes you survive the oneshot by Colossus. So Witch is tankier than melee btw. lol

I mean, i was one shotted 2 times by his dagger then i just payed attention and dodged, it's so slow haha didn't even think it was a problem. But i'm in my first playthrough, don't know if they make movesets harder on higher difficulties.

Because you didn't interact with the bosses or was overgeared. If you kill them fast or hug them, they may not oneshot you but oneshot other characters. Like in the video I linked, it doesn't always oneshot.

"it doesn't always oneshot" that would not be a oneshot mechanic then.

That's either a crit or just a lot of damage RNG which exceeds the remaining health you have left.

We call it oneshot because it's one word. Why would we use a sentence to describe something that can be understood as it is.

> That's either a crit or just a lot of damage RNG

Or weird way the dmg is calculated, like maybe it hits multiple times as a bug. And why does Arctic Armor protect you against Colossus oneshot? That just makes Witch tankier than melee.

You do know dodge is just a fancier way to walk right?

A one-shot mechanic means that when any character of any health or resistances gets hit by it... they die... no exceptions.

An example would be the sandstorm mechanic from the Act 2 boss (assuming you don't get to safety).

That's a one-shot mechanic.

For practical reasons what Colossus does is a oneshot in certain circumstances, because it does one shot a character. It does not kill a character in 2 shots.

uhhh get good??

Just hug the boss. It gives you TONS of free time to just nuke him down before he even starts with his "hide behind dsgger" moves. He misses almost all his attack and if he manage to hit you, just drink up hp flask and keep nuking.
