Lvl 72 Reave gladiator died while doing False Idols on Act1 Ledge

Sadly I was so overwhelmed about the happening that forgot to save my 2 mins of shadowplay.

But seriously? I know I had only 25% lightning res back then. Still how could those lvl 6 mobs go thru my 3+k life, life req, life leech, armor and such. And it was almost a one shot when I stroke those two totems.

I have bleeding and mobs who bleed while dying will explode. Any chance that there might have been a slight hickup?

Just my thoughts... Next I cleared 69 map with Abyss mobs and come to conclusion that Act 1 Ledge with two totem bosses is more dangerous. :D

Edit: There's been lot of discussion how about GGG would scale prophecies to character lvl. If those totems were actually around lvl 70 then it explains because one of them does aoe lightning dmg.

I did the Echoes of Witchcraft prophecy today. The unique mob indeed dropped ilvl 72 loot and was clearly tougher than a lvl 17 unique.

Prophecy generated enemies are leveled by your character and not the area. Was in the patch notes somewhere.

I think we're missing the important point here. You had 3kish life at lvl 72!?!

Plus 25 percent lightning resist on a lightning fight.

I mean, really, the pain comes from the OP not knowing that the low level prophecies now deliver items high enough level to six-socket, and/or that they scale with your character, where they expected to steamroll this like before. ...but those stats, they sure didn't help.

I wonder how they completed maps at all, honestly. :)
