Someone chose Hellfire in a T5 horde last night as one of the round affixes and it was like playing a game of twister because if you touched one of those Hellfire pools, your health gets sucked through a straw in seconds. It doesn’t help that the screen is absolute chaos and you can hardly see the pools as well. I have maxed resistances, 85% to fire even, but that doesn’t seem to apply to Hellfire.
I’ve got about 40K health and I’m at the ~9,200 armor cap but would die in 2-3 seconds in one of these pools.
Is Hellfire just an element that you can’t really build against?
I can survive 59 secs in a T7 round and then instantly die because i stepped in a puddle of poision. All res (81% cap with Tyreals) and armor capped and I have 50%+ DR. Game just doesn’t make sense.
Your resistances should be at 70+, armor is just for physical damage now.
And even still poison ticks pretty fast so you cannot stand in pools.
Resistance against DOT helps a little but the poison is over tuned.
Yea the poison is a different story that wrecks me ever with 82.4% resistance. Another thing that seems over tuned is the guys that have fire pulsing out of them.
Sometimes, something in the Infernal Hordes would one-shot me out of nowhere. I can manage to clear T8 solo, but even in T7, I occasionally die unexpectedly. One potential culprit could be the Hellfire.
