Random massive drop in damage?

So I was doing a NM lv 29, no big deal going through it cleared everything at a decent fast clip as expected so I decided let me run another, only had a 25 key figured I knock it out and i was doing NO DAMAGE well ok not 'no damage" but I went from over all 50 to I don’t know 75k crits to 8000-13,000 crits TOPs nothing was special about this 25 key just another key to me yet I couldn’t get past my first elite pack, has anyone noticed this?

I assume its a bug but at this point it might just be a feature of diablo 4!

Is your gear broken lol?

did you change anything?
You mightve lost primary stat on a piece of gear that disqualified you from the extra bonus on a paragon node.

Or the affix of the dungeon could have just been resistant to your build.

No to both questions: no skill/talent changes no gear changes, nothing is broken.

This has happened once before with my necro, and once with my friend who played a sorc we thought nothing of it but now that it happened again its annoyingly glaring.

Then it was just an affix. Either way… it’s pretty much going to be impossible for US to guess, particularly given your sample size of… 1

more curious if anyone else has ran into an issue like this really.

Depends what mods you are fighting as well as what the affixes on the dungeon were did you read them?

there are so many broken paragon skills and other stats in this game that aren’t working right who knows what it could be.

Don’t do crit resistant affix or vulnerable resistance either. Those are universally bad, and depending on build avoid melee or ranged defender.

There is also some bleed or x element resistant affixes , so don’t do frost resistant with a ice sorc for example. Affixes seem over all very annoying and just frustrating to deal with. There’s literal affixes that make NO build in the game gonna wanna take them, and that seems to be a design flaw to be that hated universally and avoided.

Did you level up? Leveling up is the fastest way to become weaker in this.

“Enemies have 30% of their Health as a Barrier”

I could almost guarantee that’s what it was.

NVM edit - your CRITS were much lower. huh.

Yea random Affix other than one I said. If it was ‘time to kill’ being slowed by a fair bit - the Barrier can be a pain.

so after some testing: there is a major bug. I logged in went into a hell tide and my bone spikes where hitting for 200-400 and bone spear for 9000-14000. I logged out then back in and started hitting for my normal 60k+ and beyond with crits. seems logging out and in fixes this issue.

I experience this few time , trying to kill a mob but suddenly cant do any damage , i have to teleport out and come b later and instant kill that mob, feel more like a bug or no hit reg or something

i guess its some of the affixes not working when you load in.

It has nopthing to do with affixes or anything build wise. I was just in the Cerrigar region and stumbled upon three large groups of skeletons. I was doing base damage of mid 2000s and crits for more than double that. Then suddenly, I noticed the damage on the mobs go to 400s. I’ve had this happen many times on my way to level 90. It’s a bug. But I doubt that that Bliz has time to fix it.

Yes, then I realized the dungeon had a minus 60% crit damage.

Fairly obvious answer here is the dungeon mods negated most your build. You can notice a massive dps loss if say you are a crit build and monsters take 60% less crit damage. Your gear also gets worse the more damaged it is. It is also possible you accidently equipped a bad weapon by accident. I did this once.

Hello,
Im playing Diablo IV with sorcerer, blizzard build. Suddenly damage decreased. i was doing 81+ dungeons quick today. Exit the game and after 15 minutes log in back to the game. And boom, i practically dont do damage. Gear not broken, skills not changed, affixes as usual. Everything is the same as was today and past view days. And i tryed maybe 10 different dungeons…but now i can`t go through first view stacks … Any ideas??? I try to re-login, exit game and re-enter game, the same thing…

Too many conditional multipliers and broken interactions happening right now to when begin to be sure what is happening with damage. I experience crazy peaks and lows in fights as well. I generally just shrug my shoulders and continue to play.

Currently I am breaking my head over xfals and trying to figure out its proc. Tooltip says 50% lucky hit but I have a 12% lucky hit passive on my Necro that spawns corpses 4x as often as xfals procs. The proc damage goes for as little as 100K sometimes and as high as 9 million other times.

Blizzard math is unreliable, hopefully S4 itemization fixes that and the math is less contrived and damage numbers more reliable. With that you won’t need a broken build that fluctuates 20 million damage and 1.5 billion.

unequiped all items, restarted game. manually equipted . the same… Trye salvage old sigils and create new - the same result. Craft lower sigil for 71+ cant get through too. i Hardly take out monsters on a map… and technical support dont answering…
