Unfair death @ 2w HC event

It's a dumb game mechanic that serves no purpose. I'm glad it's being changed.

Are you also going to make it so that people can't cast blood magic spells if their health is too low? Maybe make it so that mobs that would kill you in the next hit instead pause to consider their actions also? When's the carebear pet patch coming?

I've heard that it already isn't possible to cast spells in maps with a blood magic mod if you have chaos inoculation, better whine about that too. Apparently it affects you somehow.

When I got CI the other day, I dropped dead a few times at full Energy Shield while fighting. I was like WTF?

Thinking maybe is was a bug in CI, found the answer on a forum search in an old thread.

Sure enough I had a Caustic mana flask I was hitting. I had it in a slot for long enough to forget all about it.

Yes I felt silly, and had a good laugh at myself. No big deal.

But some of the responses I am seeing in more threads indicate a growing arrogance from a handful of long time beta "leet" players who apparently cannot remember being new at this game.

Touché. I logged in and checked, they have already changed it so you can't kill yourself with blood magic abilities. Unfortunately.

path of carebears :\

Please don't... :(

lol awesome way to die

no way, this is a great mechanic, please dont remove it. These quirks make the game more enjoyable.

I died in the race in a really annoying and I think buggy manner. I realize when you zone out on a TP, your character stays in the zone for a few seconds.
So I click on a tp at 75% hp on Vaal oversoul, my screen goes black as I start to transition to the new zone, then I die.
Exiting a zone should be instant.

I believe you can if you have the exact amount of life.

I completely agree, you should never be able to kill yourself using a flask/aura/etc.
