Help please ! What Dot kills me ?

Hi all,

first of all, sry about my english, its not my mothertongue, but .....

I rly hope someone will be able to help me out, because I am tired of dying from the same stuff over and over again at lvl 98 since a week, and not knowing what it is, or what I can do against it.

Am getting some sort of Dot on me, hitting my Karui Life Flask with app. 2630 Life over 2,3 seconds, having like 500 life regen per second, but am not able to "not die". I get "this dot" on me, can look how my life goes down, run away, hit my life flask, still can look how life goes down and I die. :-(

Playing an Arakali Fang / Squire build with ..........

- Purity of Elements (immunity to all elemental ailments)
- Corrupted Blood immune jewel
- Malevolance Watchers Eye (normal bleed immune)
- over 100% chance to not get inflicted with poison (immune)
- 75% chaos res
- 83% ele res
- app. 50k armour

I know there is no evasion or spell suppression on that char, but the high resistances, high armour and immunitys to most dangerous dots is enough to never get close to half life, as long as I dont get hit by this mysterious Dot that kills me like once or twice each day, and I have no idea what it is - normal maps by the way, no delve or anything else.

Thanks in advance for reading, and hopefuly somebody has an idea for me what it could be.

Edit: Immune to Burning ground (Pantheon) and its not Caustic Ground !

Can you say what map mods have you been using, other than before? What exactly are the circumstances? Are there monsters about? Because if not, then it's a bug, but more likely sth that monsters do.
Look at the icon top left when you die, maybe take a screenshot if you can fast enough - the icon can tell you what it is. I don't know them all, but sb will.

I had a situation like that with Vorana, when I kept too far away from her (didn't know her mchanics), and it was the killer fog. In delve there's a lich that does similar fast killing dot, but it turned out he was very easy up close.
Chaos res is very useful sometimes, but say it's simulacrum and you just try to facetank Kosis, you still might die.

So, what are the circumstances?

Hard to say exactly what the circumstances are, because its normal T16 mapping with a little bit of juice. Like full sextants, scarabs and at least 80% quant, but I try to not play mods that hurt a lot. No double, triple beyond atm. Only like Legions, Blights, Harbis, Breaches, etc....

No minus max res, no less effect of auras and even no less recovery, because I hate if my life flasks do nothing with like 80% less recovery, you know. :-(
And no, I dont take the -40% res nodes from the altars !

First I checked if its a malevolence bug (bleed immunity), because I have it with no reservation cost (aul amu), but I never saw bleed dots on me when it happened and still happens. So I think its not.

Then I thought its some dot from legion mobs, because for me it felt like it only happened with legion, but then it happened without legion mobs, too.

And yes, I thought about checking the icon, but as its a stressful situation, because I hate dying, running away, using flaks, etc., I am allways to late to check the icon. :-(

But maybe I will run open broadcaster and record it, seems like the only chance that I can find out what happens.

Truths will be told:

It doesn't matter if it's a "Dot"
It doesn't matter if it's a "Normal White Punch"
It doesn't matter if it's a "Spell"
It doesn't matter if it's a "..."

But there seems to be a "random damage type" starting at act10 - T16+ levels that any damage type (kills you), regardless of having high health and high stamina, doesn't work. It doesn't matter what build you do. Poe's talent tree (copy of Final Fantasy X) is not working properly.

I died being level 75 with 10k ES - 4k Life, immune to chaos on an act10 map. I also remember dying (in one hit) on a map with a party. Had 50k ES with all auras and immune to chaos

There is so much code that programmers can't cope with solving this type of problem. There is a type of code that will randomly kill you in one hit. :(

It doesn't matter if you get 1M health and 1M ES. You will die in one hit whether on a map of T1, T12... uber... you will always die.

For some unknown reason, a Run with an account with cosmetics / stash slots and others does not happen to me. But this I will never know. I commented on this here.

- They do not show us the damage:
- - They don't show us the damage we do
- - They don't show us the damage they do to us: so that we don't know how much life they take from us. "I bet there are some mobs that do over 100% real damage (relative to our life/ES/resistances). I bet it's 250% real damage (relative to our life/ES/resistances)".

If they only took 150% true damage it would be, :
With 1M (ES/LIFE), the mobs would deal 1.5M true damage to us
With 10K (ES/LIFE), the mobs would deal 15K true damage to us.
With 5K (ES/LIFE), the mobs would deal 7.5K true damage to us.

...of a hit. It does not matter the life or the energy shield or the resistances.

- We do not have a dummy, to know which skill does more damage regardless of what the tooltip shows us so that we are not all copies with the same skill.
- ...

We'll never know what killed you.
Even if you provide evidence, they will always say it's the player's fault. Okay. It is time to see if there is more market apart from POE.



Here is a compilation of instant kills.
While some die instantly (unknown people), and others (known streamers) do not die even touching the keyboard. Known Streamers make POE have people. You are right about what you are thinking. Streamers are better players, I had not fallen for that great deduction. Good POE market technique.

Fan User: "This guy is crazy..."
Me: logout of POE and play Clash Royale. To not have to listen to silly complaints.

You cannot compare a Gauntlet death to regular PoE.

Get the same DOT effect in some maps using a AF build.

It is most likely a Physical DOT. Physical DOT ignores your armour and ES stats, doesn't matter how much you have. You can mitigate it to some degree using Pantheons - Arakaali and Ralakesh both have DOT reductions.

A basalt and granite flask might also help. You can test the setup with the boss in Haunted Mansion - those beans he generates cause DOT's. Just touch one and then run away, anymore than that you will die pretty quickly.

Armour doesn't help so granite/basalt won't, reducing physical DoTs is basically down to PDR from endurance charges or the few items that get it, reduced dot taken and regen.

Regen is the best overall, physical DoTs don't tend to be that high due to being so hard to reduce aside from huge bleeds from mob crits or corrupted blood which most are immune to.

I died today in HC LVL 71 with almost unkillable build yet some random archnemesis mob 3 shot me in Act 10, with 85% phys reduction, like 50% supressed spell damage, avoid ailments at 20% all res capped and 200 life regen, with defiance banner on and flasks popped up.

I came back from 3 leagues break and found out that the game is beyond broken at this point. So still a main reason i stopped supporting POE 1 some time ago. Very sad in which state the game is and i cant enjoy HC no more. It is also bad for SC.

Farystar out until POE 2!

Unkillable build vs strong league mechanic - 0:1
85% phys reduction is a wrong statistic, 50% spell supress is 50/50, 20% avoid ailments does nothing, 200 life regen does nothing with oneshot. I also think that there is no block and chaos res.

+ he said in another thread it was an archnemesis mob stage 4, which means it was optional challenging content that he built and activated himself. Obviously troll or just not bright.
