What is wrong with the strongboxes?
" This is not about the strongboxes, but their mods, which can appear elsewhere in the game too. You can meet detonate corpses randomly as well (like by a Breach boss) which are the same dangerous. And no, I do not feel, that detonate corpse is too much; when a couple dozens of corpses are exploding on You, that shall have its (deadly) results. But really, it is not the strongboxes themselves, that is why I wanted to find out, what mod You had the problem with, as an unfortunately placed detonate corpse explosion can kill You and Your whole minion army at a lot of other places in the game in the exact same way. All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0. All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this. |

Playing red maps in SSF HC, opening any non unique strongbox unid pretty much ... haven't died to one in ages ....
Just don't stand there like a tree. PS : if Vaal DD is what is killing the OP, he can use ...... corpse disposal mechanics ffs .... And those mods are written on the box, if you don't know what mods boxes can roll and open them unid, or just without reading them, blame's one you OP, 100%. It is on you anyway but it's even more obvious if you don't bother reading. I'm glad that the game still has some -very avoidableà- mechanics like this to kill exiles, what a snooze fest it would be otherwise. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

"Nothing. "Just step away after you open a strongbox. Is this your 1st character ever? "This is not the best strategy. ""Detonate nearby corpses" with a lot of corpses. "Depends on who is playing. If you are dying again and again from strongboxes - then probably not. "Absurd is complains about deaths from strongboxes. -- This game is not about facetanking. You may not like this, but the only thing you can do about it is to adapt. Also, i'm glad that summoners have at least 1 threat in this game. retired from forum because of censorship and discrimination (also poe2 bad) Last edited by DivineChampion#3546 on Nov 10, 2019, 10:06:55 PM

Guys, you all just didn't get the point. My AG have died only once for HUNDREDS hours of gameplay, when i came to a HOGM map at first time. I've opened a THOUSAND strongboxes, without reading the discription. Yes, i've died several times from explosions and other things, but that is a price which i ready to pay for clearing speed. But after all that things, the fact that is something that can oneshoot my AG who have around 100k ehp seems like a bug. And you all just telling how to avoid that bug. It happened not while doing Uber Elder, Uber Atziri, Catharina, Aul and other top rewarding spots, where 100k+ instadmg could be ok, cause it is the most challenging end-game content. NO. All of that just an easy mode piece of cake for me. It happened while REGULAR t16 mapping with 75% IQ. I don't know how else to get the idea.

" Tells the person whos maximum character lvl is 92 and it's the only character of all with 90+. |

" I have 5k hp...I havent died because of strongboxes for ages. You activate the box, move away, kill everything and come back when the box opens. easy as that Its like standing in shapers beam and getting angry that you lose hp btw...when you have an AG so expensive...swap blood magic with minion life Last edited by Tyrion2#1155 on Nov 11, 2019, 11:22:01 AM

Classic case of Git Gud. Do no stand beside strongboxes when you open them.
Some of the most dangerous ones are those that explode corpses, I think that was the case. " "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."

" This. Strongboxes are from the good old days, where you had to learn it the hard way that every risk in this game can be mitigated by coming up with a propper solution. GGG likes to telegraph "you're doing it wrong" with a randomized one-shot mechanics like this. However, recent power creep made it less obvious though... Let's explore new playstyles - Play it your own way, not just like the others.
