Selig Barb T12 One Shot in Helltides

Barbarian
1

I wanted to report a pretty severe bug I just hit in Torment 12 Helltides.I was running a fully geared Selig Barbarian, capable of 125+ Rifts. My defenses and resource pool are more than solid for T12 content — nothing in the area should have been able to touch my Fury, let alone kill me.

What happened:
I had just accepted the Sealed Oxen Tribe Cache quest. The only enemies near me were the normal small/minor demons that spawn in Helltides and give credit for this quest. No elites, no bosses, no events, nothing with any significant damage profile. I was killed instantly. Because there is still no death recap, I have zero information on what actually hit me or how much damage was dealt. From pure visual confirmation, there was literally nothing around that should have been capable of denting my Fury pool, let alone one-shotting a fully geared Selig Barb.

This feels like either:

  • some hidden/invisible damage source related to the soul collection quest, or

  • a massive unexpected damage spike from the basic Helltide minions that is not showing correctly.

Has anyone else experienced sudden unexplained deaths (especially right after picking up Sealed Oxen Tribe Cache) in high Torment Helltides?

Blizzard — if you’re reading this, please look into the interaction between the quest and player damage mitigation / resource pools. The lack of a death recap makes these kinds of bugs almost impossible to diagnose for me, and it is very frustrating to an otherwise very smooth Hardcore SSF experience.

Were there any players remotely nearby? Wyrdskin can kill you. Rallying Cry still has a bug. Subo is still sometimes bugged.

Most of the time when I die, it is similar and registers as “You were killed by _!”

I didn’t see any players, and I’m not using Wyrdskin, unless you mean another player can kill me with it. Playing SSF I was not in any parties, and was not in a marked zone.

All it said was “OOF has died” or similar. I looked for any text to show I engaged something, or any clue to show what killed me. There were actually no creatures on the screen.

I see something about a Rallying Cry bug, haven’t heard of it, but I don’t use Subo and don’t believe my gar had any thorns. I sit at 600+ Fury with no issue, and the amount rarely moves more than the normal cost of Rallying Cry.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

You’re welcome, players with Wyrdskin Charm can kill you even if not in a Party. This might have been what happened. Wyrdskin can apply to Distant Enemies so you wouldn’t even know it if some 350% Movement Speed WW Barb flew by you during a Rupture off screen.
