Getting 1 shot

[LandShark]

I got a champion going in the anniversary edition...and im getting 1 shot by those blue or yellow ghosts in act 1, im currently level 20. i took all my armor off, everything, and i get stepped on every time, hasnt happened to any of my other new characters. Anybody got a solution for this? dont even want to look at that character right now im so pissed!

What is your health and what resistances do you have?

[MoonFlowerPalace]

Do you have crit numbers on so you can see if you get crit?

[Atomic Kid]

only reason i can see this happening is if you didnt add to mastery which could be a newbie mistake...maxing skills and leaving masteries low results in low hp, stats (which lock gear)...and mp for some classes...

if you do 2 mastery and 1 skill until mastery is at 32 points for both, you'll get a ton of hp, stats, and mp (For mages) if you just max skills you will start to die starting act2 and have a lot of gear locked out for you...also some classes get so much hp from mastery that you can never add to hp and still have plenty...of course if yo udont add to mastery and max it before act 4 or even as soon as act2 you will start to die due to low hp and low stats...

resist though useful dont really start appearing until act 3 even on yellows and greens, most blues start having good resists starting act3...though resistant and insulated appear a lot starting in act3, also hale/plato rings appear in act3, you should stock up on those esp if the rng hasnt been kind to you...these sorta rings give vital resist and extra str or int can help more gear become equippable..

also for typhoon you want life leech resists (note life leech not vit res 2 different things) mana drain resist, and most def very high fire resist...he also does a poison attack but his most dangerous attacks are fire, life leech (not vit), mana leech, and his reflect move..

ok ive done some investigating, i actualy used the tq defiler to test something. i maxed out all skills, and cheated in some great armor for level 21, not something i wanted to do, but just to test. i still get 1 shot with my health at 2k. i took everything off and went in naked, 1 shot. This only happens with my champion...seems like some kind of bug.
i can do any other class so far with no problem. Pisses me off cuz thats the class i wanted to run. Any thoughts?
only happens with those ghosts like i said, the yellow and blue ones >.<

[Pannathrax]

those ghost do elemental and vitality damage, even a high armor rating can not tank, need to up resist.

but a normal act 1 ghost does not do much damage, and no resist minus like epic and legendary, how is it possible to one shot a champion? is it a star boss?

[LandShark]

no its just a normal ghost, i even retried making a new toon, same thing happened, im just not gonna run this class, its bugged for me, not worth the hassle wasting my time getting to where they first appear. Thanks anyways guys

[Malgardian]

Can you maybe post some screenshots of your stats and items?

[LandShark]

honestly, it doesnt matter if im decked out or naked, same thing happens >.<
its a ghost on normal level, resistances and gear should not make a difference with them sadly. i should be able to take multiple hits even with nothing on before i die

[LandShark]

all the other classes i play can stand in front of them and hardly get touched, i dont get it, just the Champion, nothing else

hmmm
facetanking ghosts in act 1 will kill u
if u are used to constantly moving and using abilities far away u might have only got hit by 1 or 2 ghosts at the same time before
if u run into a group and just stand there trying to kill 1
u will get attacked by multiple ghosts at the same time
killing u instantly

change tactics?

Did you even read what the guy wrote? You're completely missing the point.

[Pannathrax]

can i know which part of the map it is at? or which cave? not sure if the map part got bug, probably can try to test it out with mule characters.

[LandShark]

It's in the Hanging Gardens area in the Orient. The Temple Of Marduk is where im finding these killer Shades. I just ran it with my Soothsayer, and it didnt leave a scratch on him. I take my Champion in and BOOM hes dead! i cheated his health up to 3k and still 1 shot. Its not my method of playing man, no shade should take out my guy that fast on normal. Odd thing here is, i just got a new Oracle up to there and same thing happened, but my Conquerer, soothsayer, brigand toons had no trouble. Im getting too many gray hairs over this ♥♥♥♥ :P

[LandShark]

And Pannathrax i'd appreciate that

lv 20 at act 3 isnt that litle low lv ?
