Random One-Shots

I am sick of everything going smoothly until about 70%+ of my level and then I keep running the same maps with similar mods and all of sudden - ONE SHOT. With absolutely no indication of what one shot me. Then I got back in and I get one shot again, because this mob decides that it needs to chase me. Then I kill it without even so much as my health bar getting tickled. It's always at the same point in my experience bar. TONS of other people have told me the same thing happens to them. This is regardless of the build or how tanky the toon is. You won't be getting another penny out of me until this CRAP is fixed.

Poe database sort of have the information of the boss skills and dmg along with the multiplier, in case of random encounters, there are mechanics like volatile or corrupting blood that scale with odd coded values, (corrupting blood scaling with the dmg of a single normal attack from the monster) or volatile scaling with the monster´s hp which can have insane values when combined with essences which allways increase hp values.

Along side with that there are random crits and large difference between high end and low end values of posible dmg rolls of many enemies.

Having many years playing help you keep up with the knowledge required to overcome this 1shots and prepare yourself to chose which hits never to take. But i agree we need a damage log which the game obviously keeps but for some odd reason ggg chose not to share with us.

there is a glove enchantment that pops consecrated ground whenever you get hit by a crit. You would be very suprised how often this happen and people rarely notice.

Watch some Youtube guides on how defences work and how you should build a defensive character. I'm sure those one shots aren't even one shots and could be avoided with block/dodge/evade.
I farmed T16 Guardians and maps with 4000 HP as full MF and never got randomly one shot or killed without me understanding what I did wrong.

Only random one shots are invisible bearers and volatiles. Rest is usually predictable, including damage mod and double dmg rare mob offscreen kills. Some of it are bugs.

People tend to overlook certain things when running on speed.

Erm, who is bringing common sense and logical posts into a thread purporting to see conspiracy in the game to kill them at 70% into each level?

I give you all credit for trying. Sure, if this was truly a "Random one-shots suck" thread all your posts are great. They DO suck. They DO come out of nowhere often and suddenly, and it can be difficult to figure out what happened.

But if you read the OP, it was "game is killing me on purpose before leveling to make it take longer - and all my friends support my theory".

then just give us the fucking combat log? so that we know what killed us? this was posted year after year after year. what is so difficult to list the 10 or even 5 steps before we die? this information is already has to be logged just fucking show it?! or wait, devs more busy building mtx after mtx after mtx

PoE is a number cruncher as is already thx to PoB. Giving us combat log would mean calculating all RNG which is somewhat hidden from users (altho anyone can build a monitoring tool which can calculate dmg of anything by scanning your health pool on a tanky character.)
Combat log would make this just more accessible.

Personally, i don't mind a little bit of alchemy involved in PoE, having access to everything would take a bit of enjoyment from the game for me.

heres the problem when people start talking about 1 shots... what actually 1 shot you? Show us a video or tell us what it was that hit you.

Thing is if you dont know what killed you that suggests a level of knowledge about whats going on is lacking. Is it something telegraphed you should have been avoiding? Is it something your particular setup lacks mitigation against that it really should have? Is it a combination of mobs, mods and auras that one should be very wary of and tackle with care? Did you have your full mitigation setup in terms of temp buffs active at the time?

We dont know, when we read your post theres nothing we can make of it because we dont know the answers to these sort of questions, we dont know what killed you. If you dont know what killed you then that suggests you probably dont know enough to have those questions in mind and play accordingly and theres a strong chance you were doing something wrong, you cant make a call on the situation and say if its a bullshit death that needs fixed because you dont understand the situations you are in.


It might well be some crap in the game that needs fixed, it might not be, if you cant understand what happening then the only way to do anything about it is to record videos of these incidents to show ppl so that they can tell you whats going on and then address the issue from there.

The combat log wouldn't really help, other than you could see that, you or the mobs where dysnched, and they where probably attacking you on the server side, before you could see it on your side, then all the damage comes at once and kills you. The same happens all the time csgo, there's just no way the data can travel half way across the country and back every single time you take or deal damage
