Game group of mine started noticing Burning Mod explosions are causing far more damage than normal.
Buddy of mine got one-shot from 100-0 with a barrier on in World Tier 1, and the Hall of Fallen Heroes says “Unknown Killer.” I lost my 73 Necro to the same while Bone Storm was on, and so did our friend with a Rogue in the 70’s as well.
Well, I tested letting a fire-enchanted enemy kill you with their aura that shoots fire in three directions and that didn’t say “unknown killer”
I also tried killing a fire-enchanted enemy and then intentionally dying to the fire that blasts out and they didn’t say “unknown killer” but it did say I was killed by my own character, so that was fun.
Maybe it was from the shaman that blows up corpses and you were hit by multiple explosions at once?
Anything that can be killed and will explode afterward can be VERY strong if you do it all at once. I can die as a barb with full fortify if I pull in a bunch of exploders and one-shot them. and stand on them.
I’ll have to do more testing when I run into the right enemies and see what I come up with. With that being said, I am in tier 3 and things hit significantly harder. Kinda crazy that it happened on tier 1.
