Heist one-shots.

You wanna tell me what I could've done differently here?

Notice these dudes aren't even behind a door you open, they are just normal patrol guys.

/edit/ obviously maxed resists, not debuffed, etc, still 1-shot.

yeah that's heist doing heist things.

lightning mobs with shotgun and a choke point with mobs pre spamming skills.. creative concept.

and going on the video slower unless you have veeeery good reflexes nothing you can do, the game wanted you dead.

funny thing put the video on .25 speed and watch before you die, you died with 50% hp and the game already said you died... justheistthings.

I mean the point of rolling a trickster is to have huge es/evasion, and you have neither.
Technically it was not a one shot... You took at least three.

Sucks ass thought. I have to rely on golem and decoy totem to avoid those.

I also struggle a bit with the damage and the toughness of heist mobs. My survivability sucks atm....gotta work a bit more on it. I'm just surprised that the lvl 70-75 heists are already that tough :D

The best part is if you pause you have revive screen up and still have 2800 life.

It's the guys through the door that killed you.

that happens all the time though, where it shows revive before your hp hits 0

at least you didn't lose anything valuable

i've yet to get one shot in heists, though i haven't done a ton and i don't think i've done one higher than lvl 78. i also really like to build as defensive as i possibly can. try using kintsugi and maybe even dropping wind dancer. the 40% less evasion rating on trickster is pretty rough, considering theres no way you have too much to begin with.

this could be exactly why the first hit didn't kill you, but you took two other hits in quick succession right afterwards, which did kill you.

also people seem to forget about decoy totem or other things like that. we're too caught up on zoom zoom that we forget you can't zoom zoom and you do zero DPS when you're dead.
As a mediocre player, I kind of don't like Heist. Low xp. High risk of dying. But again, I don't play too much.

I'll probably upgrade to Kint down the line, my equipment is still a work in progress. Carcass is much cheaper.

My main gripe with these guys is that they nuke you down so easily and they are sort of off screen so barely any chance to spot them.

I get using decoy totem etc etc, but the longer you spend in lockdown more enemies you face as well, so this league does tend to push you to zoom zoom.

I still think these guys are overturned, haven't had issues with any others. Can't say I'm a fan of, die to BS and lose everything you spend looting for 10 minutes either. Especially since the loot is poor to begin with.

(I've yet to drop a single exalt, or anything worthwhile and I'm deep in red maps so that explains why I'm too poor to upgrade majority of my gear)

You have only one defensive utility flask and it wasn't even up. Ditch one of the life flasks and get another utility flask in there.

Biggest mistake of all is running heist. Awful league mechanic.
