Help Identifying Cause of Death

[Karna5]

Hello. I've carefully watched a recording of a death I had at Quint Hill today, and I can't figure out how I could have avoided it. I simply die. 9354 hit points and 409 DP to instantly dead without apparent cause.

It also happened in the middle of what is supposed to be an Awakened Guardian i-frame dodge, but I already know that dodge is completely undependable. My main concern in this case is figuring out what killed me and how I could have avoided it.

If someone familiar with Elvia Quint Hill wouldn't mind looking at the short clip of my death to tell me what I can watch for I'd appreciate it. Thanks :)

at 0:22 if you pause whilst you have still full health and then move the video forward frame by frame ( use < and > keys ) you see the Toll warrior with the big club, in front of you he goes into a spin attack (like the berserkers spin attack if you play a berserker class) it's that attack that kills you in frame by frame you see the club come down as he goes into the spin and that's the 1st hit to take any health off you, when he then spins is when your health just goes in an instant and death finds you. (you see each chunk of health go down in frame by frame)

To avoid you have to keep an eye on those trolls with the big club (i know you might not be able to see the names) if you see them raise their club right up like in the vid you need to move away fast,
unfortunately you evade rolled to the right which left your back exposed to the Troll warrior so they did bigger damage to you when they went into their spin :)

Thanks, Mac. I can't see that even watching the film 15+ times (plus not being able to see it when it happened), but I'll take your word for that. I suppose I'll never be able to do Quint Hill on a Guardian since her PVM iframe dodges simply don't work. Thanks.

yeah i watched it the 1st time and was like "WTF just happened" lol i slowed it down to 25% and that's when i saw it on about the 3rd rewind and play cycle lol so i frame by framed it and then and only then could i see what happened more clearly :)

the troll in question spins away and to the left when he does the attack it was just unfortunate that he still got you and even more unfortunate that you had your back to him when he started spinning :)

Hitboxes are always a bit jank. Just expect them to be able to hit you wherever you are. You should be running full elixir rotations and or a demihuman party draught at quint. they can hit quite hard if youre not clearing them fast enough. 310ap 415dp is where the spot becomes a bit more comfortable.

it's called "lag"
