Headless Horseman insta death as healer

Ok I really haven’t played in 10 years…

I don’t understand when I am FAR away healing I suddenly get instakilled by this BS:

Headless Horseman Pumpkin Breath hit you for insane damage…

What am I supposed to do to AVOID this? I don’t see an obvious mechanic going on…

Thank you

Hmm ok. I dont have the greatest gear either, so - ilvl is like 528 atm, too

Do you have projected textures turned on in your graphics settings?

When you turn on all affixes there are periods of fairly extreme Dance Dance, but it does seem pretty accurately telegraphed.

Same problem here. :frowning: I feel like a loser! lol

Don’t feel too bad… at least one person dies to breath in about half the runs I’m in. Also we even wiped once because all 3 dps died. But yeah just stand closer, easy.

I just did. Didn’t even know it was possible.
First time ever dying to that one shot mechanic and I was at full health.
