Top causes for death in PoE?

1) Strongboxes, especially detonate corpses
2) Corrupting blood on a rare with increased phys. dmg on a vulnerability map

Chaos Damage!



Edit: And by chaos damage, I mean.. SURPRISE CHAOS DAMAGE!

That giant blue Rakango guy on the way to Kaom. For some reason it's always hidden somewhere offscren, then spawns 3 tentacles around me who proceed to crossfire, stunlock and kill me before i can react. I think all my characters die to that one at least once during leveling.

Like a n00b, corrupting blood...my fault entirely though for not paying attention.
And on a few occasions just random map mods and monster mods wrecking me.

Party play.

Keyboard Operator error.

"I go this" welp back to standard :)

1. I don't know:

"What just happened?" -Staring dumbly at the screen-

2. Just one more map...

3. I'll just dodge the +63% extra damage as fire, my resists are maxed.

4. Voidspawn of Congealing Blood

5. Lag + FPS + Spell Echo

6. Six? Yeah, I die a lot. Mostly player error.



Wolf

I've been killed many times by playing too tired, drunk, or the other less legal one.-

Aot of times strongboxes have dealt the killing blow.

not being able to even see where I am standing due to all the useless drops being floating above and all the flashy skills.

Usually it's when I cast some spell that crits and the entire screen starts to HoI explode and my screen freezes for anywhere between 2 and 20 seconds.

I'm either dead or the client assumed I kept casting and got everything for me. This is also the reason I can't play HC outside of races. It's not an issue when the hardest thing to render is flame totem.

You forgot the #1 reason is custom game engine that lags out frequently and prior to v2.0 desync was #1 reason for death.
