today i spent hours on the soulfire bastion tryin it for the first time. i used probably 20-30k favor at the circle of fortune to give me an immense amount of rewards for clearing this dungeon on tier 2. I was soooo stoked. I run through tier 1 no problem ofc but in tier2 I die to the final boss about a dozen times. Even at capped resist and crit resist he will still do over 1k damage with any spell and you cannot block both damage types at the same time. So theres no skill to the fight, just get lucky and keep trying until he doesnt do overlapping damage types. As i finally defeat him I see an explosion of loot that would dazzle the eyes of even the fattest diablo immortal whale. I also see that the floor damage has not turned off and that flaming skulls are still chasing me around the arena. I aerial assault to dodge a spell (boss has been dead for a full few seconds) and get teleported out of the arena to the gambler area… no way back in… all the loot gone… what a terrible experience. This is a quit moment, EHG, i won and i feel like i lost. Turn damage and spells off when the source is dead. Let me chill and look through me awesome loot. 5 years, huh?
p.s. didnt help that i was disconnected from the server every time i died but even that huge annoyance was nothing compared to the above BS
Seems like both your characters have low EHP. Sure, you have good resistances and built up some crit avoidance. Not sure if you’re running any ward, but you have low HP. So even after resistances lowering the damage you take, you still get took. Give up some resistance and get some health. It’ll give more of a buffer to stay alive. Maybe block/recover on block?
Agree with Doak - use this as a learning moment. Health should be your main focus on every piece of gear you can get it on (2k+ by empowered is the goal). Damage not much of a concern in this game - no need to build a glass cannon.
