Getting sick of this 1 shot bullshit

Vortex is another spell that hides things like Flameblast and Baran mob AoE.

I really dislike rituals the way they are where you're restricted to the little area of the ritual. In some maps that can mean a tiny room or a hallway. In which case good luck avoiding flameblast or baran mobs. It's just not worth the squeeze in many maps so I avoid them when possible.

Best strategy to staying alive IMO.

In generally I've found the rituals worth every second that I've done them. The worst I've run into though was in an Alleyways map on one of the planks. The ritual was limited to just that plank and it was the lightning one that shoots orbs in a straight line. There was only one direction to shoot them; directly along the planks. So there was no way to avoid the orbs. You could dash through the first and then catch the next three.

I view that as more of an exception though.
Thanks for all the fish!
Explosion chest would probably help.

White socket 6L astral plates are like 45-50c right now, With the add influence craft it's not hard to get a crusader chest at all.

if its not crusader just sell it and try again, the only one thats really not worth shit is the redeemer I think, or maybe elder.

Another thing to consider is at A8, with all thsoe percentage increases, rolling maps, and sextants, the room for error is tiny.

Sometimes imo, running blue T16 in the 40%+ and using sextant, scarab, sacrifice frags, is the better way to go. (Especially for leveling in the 94-98 range)

If you are trying to get to 100, mapping and doing end game content ain't the way to go. It's just too dangerous(due to bullshit), and inefficient.

The original post does not give nearly enough information to know if that is enough to survive even a mild hit; which I recognize is part of the post because the OP doesn't know what did it. But it's an important point since the OP gives their total life/ES pool as if that is enough to mitigate one-shots (it's not).

If it was a large chaos hit and you have negative chaos resist, the ES does not matter at all (unless you have a chaos does not bypass energy shield mod). The chaos rituals (dread and malevolence) hit pretty hard at 0% chaos resistance.

If you have 0% physical damage reduction, or close to it, that life/es pool is not nearly enough either.

This is where some sort of combat log is needed, so you can improve, since you can't always see what happened. And even when you do, it's not always clear what the damage was.


Chaos res is indeed poor atm. Phys reduction is good tho. 67% + 15% phys taken as fire from cheiftain.

1 shotted by some stupid explosion AGAIN in a ritual

no warning
no indicator
no wind up
nothing

just POP for over 10.6k raw ehp

fuck that

fucking stupid waste of fucking time to play this game and bother to try and level when I can get 1 shotted by some stupid fuckery I cant even see or avoid

really fucking tired of this shit now

/end rant

fuckers


Id be fine with oneshots if i would at least get a death log to see what exactly killed me and maybe improve my character or my gameplay. Its impossible to track whats going on with the amount of Monsters,visual effects and debuffs all at once. But as it is now, i agree, simply frustrating.
Beyond is very dangerous in Rituals. The corpse exploders come out casting instantly, and if you have the boss come back through ritual or added one (maybe even four!) with a vessel, well, they can corpse explode the corpse of the boss(es).

10k ehp is nothing mate. even with my 57k effektive hit pool i get 1 shotted


It's not "nothing" mate. But, yeah there had to be this cool guy. Always is.

OP is right. This game has gotten so stupid with the bullshit player kill "mechanics".

I don't even bother trying to get more life or wtvr. I see posts like this, and it feels pointless. No matter what you do you always die to some bullshit.

Further, for you to say you get 1-shotted with your gloriously touted 57k EHP is only making his case.

Tell me; what is your "EHP" against chaos damage?
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
