Bug with Doryani's Prototype
|
Pretty sure the armor is not working during the Eradicator fight. I'm running running the map blue, with no damage modifiers. Getting one shot from full health from basically any of his abilities. with ~5500 health and ~88% phys damage reduction I should basically be able to face tank him. Please take a look when you get the chance.

I think his attacks are lightning DoT's which armor does nothing to prevent so its like you are facing him with 0% lightning resist which means if he sneezes on you you are going to fall over.

Even the strikes?

it just mean the armor math suck

The strikes should be hits but you have to remember that the char screen is estimated damage reduction. If its a big hit like the strikes armor is going to be much less effective.
Couple that with the fact that the game is balanced around you always having 75% ele resist means that the hit damage is going to be extremely high further negating armor's effectiveness. Can I ask how much armor you have? |

Before flasks, 14k, with flasks 17k

So that is not even close to enough armor to be mitigating these hits in any kind of way.
If you want to have 75% damage reduction from armor you need armor equal to 15 times the damage of the hit. As an example, for a 5k base hit you would need 75,000 armor to reduce it by 75% (the amount of lightning resist you would usually have). At your levels of armor you are probably reducing the damage of the hit by a bit over 33% which again, the damage is balanced around you have 75% ele resists. So effectively you are doing this fight with a bit more than 33% lightning resist. A good way to help with doryani's is finding a talisman with the implicit '50% of lightning damage taken as cold' which means half of your lightning damage taken will be properly resisted by cold. Its still going to hurt without a massive amount of armor but it should take the edge off in mapping and may allow you to survive a big lightning hit from a boss like this.

Ah okay. Fair enough. Thanks for the insight

PoB actually says I'm good to take a hit from around 77k with what I have. Is PoB also calculating it incorrectly? Further, are you saying that Eradicator is hitting me for 33k + with no damage modifiers?

Are you talking about the effective maximum hit taken below effective hit pool? If so I have no idea how PoB calculates that. And no his attacks do not do that much damage.
But I feel very confident saying that 17k armor is not enough to take big lightning hits from a boss with Doryani's. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour If you want a little more insight into where I am getting my info. I was looking around for boss damage numbers because I know they exist somewhere but I cannot find them atm. |
