What's causing them to hurt people so badly? In my experience they've only dealt very minor damage? I guess I'm not sure how folks are getting nailed so hard by them.

I wouldn't be suprised if there is a bug that causes unknown damage. But, either way, every hit causes a new crystal to spawn (tiny one that overlaps with other crystals) so by the time monster dies (especially of really tanky) you could have 100 crystals underneath you. but if youget hit by 1-3 you would be okay, but 5-10, dead.

lol I don't think they even consider the MTX overlaps and the issues that may arise. GL!

Ahhh so if you don't see them and they have time to build up a huge pile, the crystals splat you.

Gotcha.

I happened to run into those as of late, no problem during the campaign.
As of late whither+shock+chill+ignite makes everything glow and the audio-clues get overshadowed with split-arrow hitting everything, even the musicplayer.
Add to that the visual obstructions like railings in the channelmap can completely negate the visual-clues when standing on the stairs behind those pillars.

I guess i have to tinker with audio-channel settings and increase them ???

BUMP
3 times this league. im doing a blight upgrading towers. 75% chaos res. 8k hp and dead instantly. They are impossible to see. Make them WAY WAY WAY brighter and the beam placing them WAY BIGGER. what a shit way to die.

bump - hold the line!

Gotcha.

also consider the fact that not all builds have an easy time getting suppression.

I make it to acts very very easily in hcssf and i ripped in a9 with my replica alberons warpath to this mechanic. The measly max res that marauder gets is nothing compared to suppression. Its what is pushing me from playing marauder in hcssf. Only reason im messing with this chieftan is im going to hollow palm magebane soon.

This mechanic sucks. I disagree with the wants to put some weird indicator on the mechanic. It just needs a noise like the old fireball had that let you know youre about to get slapped in the face. If there is a noise ive never noticed it.

Got a question among all the stuff that I encounter in deep delve those purple little explosions sometimes occur and they do MAJOR damage. Can anyone tell what damage type it is and if it ignores/penetrates armour/resistance?

What are those crystals exactly?

It's just rare enough so you won't realise it's there, at least when it was an archnem mod i would see the purple death on the name, now it's hidden in a list, it needs to be either removed or be clearer.
