Now vesalius however, he’s a mongrel. His bone spear attack auto targets you and you can’t dodge it. He disappears, he casts multiple frozen pulse, and his wormhole is a p.i.t.a too…

nah, sorry, have to disagree here. ZERO issues with Vesalius.

Should we be concerned here DP?

Ah, THAT guy… Weird, but I don’t really recall any extra hassle with this dude. Then again, I do tend to overprotect my characters…

damn blizzard/microsoft whoever needs to implement a 3 month rule to lock topics down… then again that doesn’t work half the time on another discord type forum i’m on.

Doesn’t usually help as the one shot dmg is usually way higher than your character’s hit points ever will be imho.

Yah but some builds like old school Whirlwind and R6 Gen Monk survived by their healing which was based on HP%. Before the Wastes set rework u didn’t use BoM, so u relied on Blood Funnel (which gets more potent the more HP u have) and high paragons/augments. R6 Gen Monk had practically no damage reduction and survived pretty much on Life per Hit from gear and Simplicity Strength which has a built in life per Hit mechanic which is based on Max HP.

Lol well I figured I’d respond to him since he quoted me

Sorry haha i’m the one bringing back to life this 2yo thread… but I was so surprised to getting one-shotted the other night that I started to look online for explanations and this is the only thread I found in the entire web that discussed the issue lol.

I was wondering… (I’m really not an expert here) could my Unity ring have killed me in that instance? If my unkillable follower takes a hit for 1 billion damage and i take 50% of it could it kill me?

If your follower is using the “cannot die” version of their item, what this actually means is the follower is 100% immune to damage, i.e. the follower takes zero damage.

This means that if your hero and your follower both wear Unity, 50% of the damage that your hero takes is instead given to your follower who is immune to it. And, as the follower cannot take damage, you get 50% of the zero damage they take, i.e. zero.

Effectively, this combination gives your hero a 100% up-time 50% damage mitigation.

Ahh. I don’t play barb or monk, so didn’t know that. Typically, most builds won’t benefit from super high health. Better to have high recovery. I switched from amethyst gems in pants on my HC s6 impale to diamonds and got a nice buff to toughness as a result.

Well as long as you’re ok with debating the point with yourself, that’s ok then
