Sextant mod: accompanied by body guard taunt bug

The bodyguards spawned with this sextant mod will use a taunt skill that is making the player take VASTLY more than 10% increased damage.

I go from taking about 6000 damage to closer to 10,000.

Can you provide more info, what map this was on, map mods and the character you were using?
T16 Forge of the phoenix - Can't recall every mod but one of them was boss deals 35% extra damage. Fairly sure there were no other mods to affect damage taken and definitely not -max resist.

The Boss uses "phoenix firebomb" does about 6000 damage with dying sun flask up on a pathfinder with 84% maximum fire resistance on a vanilla map.

Even with 35% added damage and 10% more from taunt, I should only take 7500 damage. Instead, it depleted 10,000 ES instantly.

Some precise calculations based on poeDB data: http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Guardian+of+the+Phoenix

Base damage = Deals 8781 to 13172 Fire Damage
Damage multiplier = 140%
Base damage after damage multiplier = 21074.4 to 31612.8 fire damage
Max fire resistance = 84
Damage taken at most = 5058.048
Damage taken with 35% damage = 6828.3648
Damage taken with 35% damage and taunt = 7511.20128


Phoenix was about 80% life and I am still maximum resistances even with the -50 fire resistance debuff so at worst I was at 82% instead of 84% fire resistance. There is no way a single firebomb could have killed me unless the taunt was adding vastly more than 10% increased damage taken. My dying sun flask was up.



I will record the event the next time I run into this sextant mod for further validation.

Or at the very least also get a bug report number. Type /bug into chat.

Yep, note that that patch isn't out yet, so be careful!

It's been like this for months I wonder how many poor sobs lost their HC chars to this.
