Omen of Rusergance is a lie. It doesnt work

Just lost a level 90 HC Lich to Fire DoT. Respawned in SC and my omen of Resurgence was still ACTIVE IN MY INVENTORY!

Sick joke.

I wasn't one shot. I was drained of 8k energy shield and 1.5k hp over about a second, by the giant bone tower bosses fire breath in a T15 with 76% Fire Resist.

Also, kill traded with the boss somehow.

Omen of Resurgence is a lie and doesn't work.

RIP

Only activates if you reach 'low life'
It will not trigger if you go from above 35% life to 0% in 1 hit.

There are three different scenarios that couldve happened:


1. You had alredy used an omen in that map and forgotten about it.

2. The "killing blow" did more then 35% of your health so it wouldnt proc.

3. And this is what I think is most likely. Your playing lich so your either deliberately playing a low life build, or your health was accidentally dropped to below low life from a previous attack, you got your es back and then your hp wont regen. So your hp stays below 35% hp and the omen wont work.

I'll break it down again since neither of you seem to have actually read my post.

The attack that killed me did "8k energy shield and 1.5k hp over about a second"

I'm not using the low life variant. I chose not to because HC.

I wasn't '1 shot'. I was drained of my ES and HP over about a second it felt like. Enough time for me to shout NO but not be able to active convalesence in time.

I hadn't used any other Omens. I don't use any other omens. I just have the one sit there active.




It didn't work. My level 90 HC character would be alive if it did.

I'm not 100% sure about it, but I think recoup works only for hit damage.
You took a DoT, didn't get hit, had no damage to give you recoup.

I may be wrong, but looks it happened as intended from my knowledge.
That may be a painful lesson...

This is the descripition of the Omen of Resurgence.

"While this item is active in your inventory will fully recover your Life, Mana and Energy Shield when you reach Low Life"

Recoup isn't mentioned and I don't think it's part of the issue.

Ok but what your explaining doesnt fit with reality so it doesnt matter how many times I read it.

I just tested this for you.
The same boss on a lvl 80 map with max +boss diff, 40% delirious and 60% monster damage modifier.
Putting aside the fact that he turns around while using his flame breath so I actually had to run around with him to intentionally get hit by it for more then 0.2 secs.

On my lich character that has 77% fire res and 12k es, it did about 6k dmg to my es over 2 secs.
So it deals about 6k damage to me over 2 secs on the hardest version of the boss with the highest damage multipliers I could find.
And yet you insist you were full es/hp even tho that would require it to deal 9.5k damage to you.

So the boss deals atleast 50% more damage to you then it does to me on the hardest possible version and youve experienced a bug ive never experience, that doesnt sound realistic.

What sounds more realistic is that you previously lost health to something and didnt notice or had already used an omen in that map and forgotten.

I could be mistaken but with the information you have provided that is what I have to believe.

Ok, I'll humor you. Not regarding the use of another Omen. Are you suggesting I may have had more than one omen active in my inventory on that map? I simply didnt use any other omens so that just isn't the case.

On the point I'd lost health. Ok sure, say Id lost HP. Say I had 51% HP with no ES when I got hit by the fire breath, which I didn't but for arguments sake let's say I did.

As long as I was above low life (which is 50% life) and the attack that hit me was DoT not one large cumulative blow, then the Omen of Resurgance should have triggered.

If the Omen of Resurgence doesn't trigger in a case like that then what case would it ever trigger?

Low life in poe2 = under 35%*

Ok. But that doesn't change a single thing about my argument for Omens of Resurgence clearly not working.
