The title says it all. I was in my 70’s racing to 100 in HC as rogue. Nothing in the game could one shot me. I had 5k/5k/1k roughly for stats. I solo’d bosses in less than 10 seconds but somehow a meteor decides my fate without the ability to dodge it. There needs be some type of information shown for how much a meteor can actually do. Otherwise I would’ve played brain dead barb off the start and have no consequences of getting stuck by any units. I’ve been hit by meteors before but never one shot for no reason from 100% hp.

yup, the other day I was crossing a canyon with the rope thing, and the effect landed on me, I was like if I die here I uninstall the game
Could be mistaken, but as far as I know a live barbarian has more brains than a dead rogue.
Those meteors are rough, though. Stone cold. I mean you were really caught between a rock and a hard place.
RIP (serious)

I’ve reincarnated into a barbarian. It pains me that this game was rigged anyway for rogue to receive majority ranged gear. I got 5 unique bows before any unique twisted build. You are right though. Its far better to be alive in a game that honestly the devs never tested XD
I do feel your pain to an extent. My much lower level sorceress died to the skill lockout glitch before I found any scrolls of escape. That one was mid 30s. Remade her out of spite and am now 54. Unfortunately, the game crashed two times in 5 minutes and scared the crap out of me, so I just made a barbarian a couple hours ago to pass the time until this gets fixed.
i always test my attacks everytime off horse, and don’t ride horse in skeleton areas. I’ve known about those problems for awhile and always get off horse with lag. It makes no sense for lag to be present just because you’re “slightly higher”. Another issue are these extremely inefficient towns. They don’t consider how many hours are being wasted on people’s lives just trying to reach the chest. Quality of life play is definitely a thing, but then again i’d argue its an executive decision on behalf of china to waste american gamers time. That’s my conspiracy theory. Apple did the same thing making apps struggle or slower to operate so you’re on your phone longer in between apps.

I don’t ride the horse at all due to the processor/video lag. Skeleton ambush almost got me a couple of times anyway. They didn’t appear to have any connection to the CCP, but I’ll be on the lookout just in case.
Haha, so meteor could in fact one shot you. Good to know!
You might have forgotten the cardinal rule of D4, the higher your level, the weaker you become…
Who didn’t have any connections? The skeletons or blizzard? XD
It’s actually one of those things I really hope they tweak. Been playing diablo games for more than twenty years and for the first time I bought a console version, as my PC is somewhat outdated right now. Been a good experience overall, but trying to teleport out of the skeleton ambush has me slam into the inside of the bone wall half the time. It’s quite thrilling, really, but I hope they do something about teleport targeting.
If you want to talk about walls. I don’t know who but I got hit with the diablo 2 version of necro spamming walls and filling up the map. I couldn’t find an enemy to jump to. It was ridiculous. If you’re in the middle of bombs going off and you’re in a theoretical stun of sitting in place for 10 seconds, you’re dead that scenario too.
Edit: These walls are unkillable and elite made.
Are meteors totally random or can you play around getting sniped off the ladder?
It’s kind of rigged. Also it doesn’t mean that the rain couldn’t start while you are climbing. So ideally avoid things that take away control away from the player while you are in a helltide.
Alright, hold on a second, you’re saying a meteor can oneshot a character at lvl 70?
Any character or just Rogue?
On my druid I think 2-3 is enough to kill me maybe less but so far I’ve been lucky and got away. I ate one in the face while climbing a ladder. I did not die but I lost at least 30% life

Poor you. That’s actually real sad man. RIP. I hope I won’t get oneshoted as a druid.
It is unclear to me how much damage it actually does, or if meteors follow you or not. The only solution I can think of for this game by people who don’t play it is POTION POTION POTION. Survive death if you go near 0.
Philosophically games become terribly boring or unfun when you find cheaters. Imagine if players could go around killing you in town unsuspectingly. This is cheating on blizzard’s end. Also by making towns purposefully long and difficult to navigate, that’s theft of our lives. Yes we spend a lot of time playing games for entertainment, but there is nothing enjoyable about making every item sale it’s own cutscene.
2025… 2y after this thread was created and I just got one shot in Helltide in T3 with my armor capped, my all my res capped apart from the fire at 68%… I was riding my horse and pafff - one shot… really frustrating
How was your life pool?
The hit absorption is mainly with fortify. Were you at max? I’ve been told that i need 14-15k life in T3 with the rogue fully capped
It seems that at least some (or a lot of) combat abilities are disabled while on a horse, as if you were in town. So you’re actually a lot less tankier and are more vulnerable while on a horse.
For example, none of the barrier or fortify effects seem to work while on a horse. But there may be a bunch of other things too which are disabled (I haven’t tested it thoroughly) but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the aspects/mechanics also didn’t function. A lot of my damage spikes happen when I’m on a horse
