So... about amplify damage

General Discussion
1

has anyone noticed when amplify damage is casted on you SOMETIMES you get whacked from 100 to 0, i was playing my full IK barb, doing some nila runs on HC, i had 4k hp/15k defence, all resist capped, DR, etc when sudenly i got cursed and i got one shoted legit by a slayer (boar mob type).
What is crazy this was my 20th run of the night and i was doing just fine with Amplify damage on me not even dropping health but sudenly this slayer dropped me flat one shot. Also rip my barb Lol

So my question is: is amplify damage bugged? there is no way a slayer could drop me with 1 hit from 100 to 0

Are you sure it was amplify damage and not iron maiden? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

That will one shot you easily in some cases.

maybe its a critical/crushing hit?
That defense isnt all that much, and resists help a whole lot but there are spells and attacks that do physical and elemental (IE gloams lightning)

You got a lot of hp so its not surprising that this only happens every now and then. I heard that the length of such curses are possibly bugged.

Also fun fact… getting a shrine removes a curse! helpful sometimes! :smiley:

EDIT: fixed sentence

i mean… i was doing some nila runs, i was legit 1 screen away from him, i got cursed and this Slayer (boar type mob) dropped me flat from 100 to 0.

Cursed + Extra Strong tend to do that.

6

How much physical resist did you have?

-100

c’mon dude

I have had this happen to me but its usually server desync. I will get hit multiple times in a fraction of a second by a single monster. Its even worse when amp damage is on. I have 2k hp and my health just drops to 0.

That’s why I dont play HC.

There are no monsters in the game that use iron maiden anymore.

The only mobs that used it were the undead in chaos sanctuary, it got removed from them in 1.13 iirc.

Edit: just checked and… sure enough was 1.13c.

  • Removed [Oblivion Knight]'s [Iron Maiden] curse.

Holy crap, that’s been removed? That was the only reason I have been holding back on making melee characters. Joy!

Yes, Iron Maiden mobs were removed during D2 (Check patch notes 1.13c)

are you serious? lmao, i’ve had runs vs cursed + extra strong elite packs and never got this whacked before. it was a 1v1 vs a slayer, he dropped me flat A SINGLE MOB did more than 4k hps on a single blow, do you get that right, right? it wasnt an elite pack, or mini boss, it was a MF’ing boar type mob who did way more than 4k hps on a single blow. so yeah, amplify damage is somehow bugged on this game

15

some of the monsters have crushing blow/deadly strike, maybe it had might and was extra strong and you were hit by more than one. maybe your bo didnt proc

16

sigh. cant argue with noobcore players here. im done, enjoy your bugged amplify damage, oh wait, noobcore, lol

17

dude ive seen a normal Hell Fallen 1 hit KO my Merc at full life coz some champ put amp damage on him its pretty glitchy, but that takes a back seat to this terrible terrible game.

18

Yeah I’m serious…Extra Strong while being cursed by Amp is very deadly, good for you if it does nothing on you because those 2 buffs together are supposed to hurt a lot. Add Cold/Fire/Lightning enhanced for even more damage.

So you’re talking about the ones that explode? same thing…they hurt a lot so if you have Amp on you and/or if those are minions with extra strong, it’s gonna hurt a lot, yes.

Amplify damage has always been super strong since it applies -100 to physical resistance.

19

Also if you get hit while running your defense is meaningless, its at 0.

If you were doing Nih runs and there were those caster snakes around, they have an invisible poison cloud thing thats highly bugged and one shots people.

Google it and you will find out more that could have been it
