incarcerator - how this is possible?

My guess on this situation is that you got desynced. Before the next rubberbanding happened you got hit by 1. His grapple hook then 2. stood in his spikes (without seeing it) and 3. hit by his ground slam which probably was a crit.

Normally, when you and monsters are out of synch it is positionally and you are still able to see your health go up and down. From your explanation it seems your client and the server did not even synch the damage so what you saw was probably the sum of many hits but you saw it only as one hit as soon as the rubberbanding happened.

User error is logical explanation.


You think you were at full health and died in 1 hit, but in fact you were not.

The number of times streamers have said that, then watched a replay and seen that they were in fact at 60% health and died in 2 hits makes it a reasonable possibility that must always be considered.
Pretty sure immortal call mitigates 100% of the damage you can be dealt in this boss fight.

The only time this boss can ever be difficult is with elemental damage mods added.

I suggest running perma-immortal call during the fight to not have to worry about getting pooped on.

Wasn't, after he hitted me a couple of times I ran far away and my ES was full after he oneshot me. Can't understand it yet. The map mod was the +20% physical damage reduction LOL. But how much dmg its ground slam does, when he autoattacked me barely did any dmg. I couldn't use immortal call haha was instant and i wasn't even in the area.
Die with ES = chaos/desecrated in map/poison on hit...

Without a video, pics or whatever we cant give you an answer. Desync?, maybe, but why is your ES full?, bug?, but i never seen a bug like that by myself or reported in forum/reddit.

i was in a crap lvl 66 map. arrived to the boss (incarcerator) i started shooting. he grabbed me, hitted me etc etc, like always. i never went down more than half hp. at one point i had full life, full energy shield and i was very far from him, in 1 nanosecond i died. i didnt see any hit, i didnt see any grab, i didnt lag. i just died in 1 hit, dunno where it came from. some1 can explain this?
i got 80 all res, 3.9k hp, 30% damage reduction.


1. Your HP bar could have desync'ed (eg hp bar says full but you are actually taking damage).

2. You could've desync'ed and you are next to him but your client shows you are screens away.

3. 1 and 2 both happened, you think you are far away and full life but the server shows you are afking next to him while hes slowly beating on you and resync'ed as you died.

You realize that map mod affects the mobs who gain 30% phys dmg reduction against YOUR attacks right?

Show me some proof of this ever happening. This has never happened to my or anyone I know during my 3+ very active years of playing. Only time something similar happens is when my connection lags for a second or two, during which I take damage and only see it after the lag spike is gone.

 Welcome to "the wonderful world of RNG" or "my kingdom for a desync free PoE". Maybe that boss can crit you for more than 4K damage. Even if it's a "server prediction" error (another day in damnation desyncnation) GGG would say that PoE is working as intended (even though we all would add a huge NOT!!! here).

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.
