One-Shot Mechanics

[Vanzant]

I really started off liking this game but I am quickly getting tired of skill being measured by how many one-shot mechanics I can avoid.

With laggy gameplay/servers this design seems punishing and downright dumbfounding sometimes.

The peak of these one-shot mechanics came to me today loading into an echo immediately dead due to one-shot aoe mechanics that went off before i could even get the damn echo loaded.

Taking a break thanks.

for the record, are your resists atleast 70%?

Do you mean to say that you get getting killed by attacks due to lag, because they hit you?
Or do you mean to say that you are unable to move out of the telegraphed attack area due to lag?

Some enemies are frustrating to play against in online mod currently, your defenses don't matter too much.
You can also try to enjoy the game offline, as playing online has literally no advantage unless you have friends/party.

I can understand part of what you are saying. I will say there are spires in some echoes that will hit a circle around you or your minions at start until they are destroyed. Resists and more hp will help with getting one shot. Also if playing alone and without ssd you can just play in offline mode as others stated. I just completed all regular echoes and moving to empowered echoes. Game is very fun.

for the record, I can guarantee you that there is no one-shot mechanic in this game

As a side note, you can see the damage type that killed you when you die which is a huge help if you are perhaps having to pick and choose idles rings or gear to fill out a weak spot. Hit C to pull up resists. Want to get them all as close to 75 as possible. Picking up a damage reduction and a good shield can help ad well. Glass cannon only works for so long

Not sure if it's lag/server crap but I've seen a ton of the profane flesh rock throws get tossed with no circle. Annoying as ♥♥♥♥ when they are capable of oneshotting you. I've noticed the same with the artillery boss objectives. Something seems to temporarily break and the warning circles don't get shown.

Tier IV dungeons and corruption 350+ monos would like to disagree.

Lvl 97 2300 hp, res capped, crit res capped, 28% armor, still get oneshot from a few things.
trying to run 120 ish corruption.
The thing is, 99% of enemies dont hurt me much, maybe a pot here and there. But a few attacks snipe me. Spires, groups with aoe attacks, a few rares with special attacks, all hard to see and (accordning to me) gives to little time to react.
Some boss attacks are also really hard to see.
Sure, skill issue to know what attack is oneshot or just a pot use, but it just feel like something is "off" with damage.

Or am i missing something?

With far lower than those stats spires functionally stop doing damage at those corruptions.

As do most rares unless you've got a ton of damage modifiers stacked up in your timeline.

Sorry guys i should have clarified. My resists and defenses are where they need to be to survive boss mechs and other mechs np. The one shot issue is happening when zoning sometimes into echoes before i can react or even see the bad stuff on the ground. Might be my connection but i appreciate the feedback. Probably just gettin old.
