How fast do you die in this game?

[Xhal]

Im currently replaying some POE and I get pretty mad that 99% of my deaths are being full hp and just get 1 shot or lose all my hp within 1-2 seconds.

A lot of other ARPGS are guilty of this IMO outdated and dumb stance where HP goes up and down way too fast, you can essentially lose all your HP and regain all of it within 1 second. Im more of an opinion that it should be slower than this, potions should matter but not regain everything in 1 shot and damage should be dealt over time.

Does this happen in Last Epoch as well?

Yes it can. There's also 1 shots in this game as well.

The term Schrodingers health bar has been thrown around a fair bit.

depends, some affixes can hurt, some boss mechanics hurt as well if you fail all the time.
oneshots can happen but its less frequent than poe in the most case.

I'd say its kinda similar to D2 at that part, may slightly more but not much

When you get to a high corruption level, just about anything can 1 shot you but that's' very very late game and you don't have to push corruption to be that high. Some bosses have 1 shots but it's telegraphed better than PoE imo.

hack&s;ash is based on skills . you have or you doesnt have.

[Katitoff]

If you play as glass cannon, you can be 1 shot.

If you invest in resistances and HP, you'll be fine.

There are builds that can face tank end-game boss content.

you can get one shotted pretty easily i would highly recommend building against void damage since most enemies do void damage ive noticed.
which is something that kills me alot in act 1.

skills issues. thats it mate.

d4 same stuff .. poe same stuff .

Last Epoch is more forgiving. First of all, 'strong attacks' are more dodgeable because of the BIG & RED warning on the ground that will trigger said attack with a visible timer. Resistance cap & HP aren't that hard to get + the others defensive layer are viable without losing too much of your offensive powers. After that some class (and build) are more safe than other but that it's for every ARPG out there.

My char died on my first ever run with a Beastmaster melee very late 50s something, my second try was a Sorc, died to some Void Clerics at 23 (I ignored resist and hp gear :P ), then my tanky 2h paladin died to the Lagon boss's puke attack, game said cold/electric but i had both resists..., I stepped a little too late with 1.3k hp lol.

I think they balanced this around a defense shield pally with topped resists..

Paladin and Beastmaster both felt fairly safe as long as I did upgrades on the health and had a health leech weapon.

I will try the Rogue soon, but I have a feeling it will be a lot more dicey.

Playing this game in hardcore would be not for the faint of heart, if you're trying to hit 100 it would be quite hard.

That's exactly how Last Epoch and all hack&slash works. You are in combat and suddenly your Health goes from 100% to 0 and you die.
Whatever you play, you will need a build able to go from 1 HP to full heath almost instantly or instantly generate huge amounts of ward (to take the damage that would go to your health).

Absolutely wrong. Hack&slash games are far from skill based. It's all on the build/gear that allows the player to tackle harder difficulties, spamming the same skill rotations over and over, in the most repetitive and mindless gameplay possible.
You can watch any video of players with the highest rankings in hack&slash leaderboards and see there is zero skill in the gameplay, just an OP build with OP gear spamming the same stuff.
If you give their character to someone else who has never played the game before, they will still be able to clear the same content the previous owner was.
It's all on the character, not on the player. Not really skill based.

When Zizaran pointed out: "You deal similar damage naked and fully geared with the huge damage multipliers coming from skill trees."

the developer dan responded with: "We don’t want to aim for gear to be as high of a portion of your total power of build customization as other games though."

Yes I did shorten the response to cut the fat, the full interview is up on youtube if you want the ramblings and the context to the context to the context.

I have died two times in my 27 hours and both times it was to the mages that spawn after you click on the weird futuristic device that's just randomly on the map sometimes.

The regular mobs and bosses so far have been super easy. I usually gather all the mobs in a an area and kill them all at once and bosses I just spam to death barely having to move. The game is much easier than Path of Exile I have found. At least so far.
