Not sure if its a bug, but currently avoiding is pure luck…which is manageable for classes that can face tank the damage. but is ABSOLUTELY crappy for squish classes.
If its indeed a bug, please fix it or remove it from the game. I cant imagine anyone playing on hardcore with this in the game
In theory, but the last time I saw the effect for it I found it atrociously difficult to see in many echo tilesets. I reroll Blood and Toxic Spire echos for this reason, now that I know I can.
Yea the Blood Shade attack…I play Sorc, so soaking is not an options. The orbs move out slowly, then home in on you ridiculously fast. Barely even see the animation. All I see is the blood splat on the ground after i’ve been hit
So, yes, this is an issue. And they can be soaked, even as a Sorc. Here are some options:
– Damage reduction while Channeling
– Low Life/Ward build
– High Health, High Endurance
