Professions that kill

Minding my own business, just flying around mining some ore. EZ-Mine Ironclaw found. Half way through the collecting, when "Dislodged Dynamite Pickaxe Related Accident hit You 1,161,900 Fire (412, 126 Absorbed) (416,809 Overkill).

Why is it important for Blizzard to take the fun away in this game. Open World is NOT MYTHIC PLUS!

First thing that comes to mind is to disrupt bots. But also, why cant we have a little challenge? A good way to prevent us turning into mindless zombies.

They took a professions person and still couldn’t come up with anything so they made things like this OP and put in a skill tree thing that may help against nodes like this. I think if it is anything like DF.

Molten deposits could very easily kill you in DF season one especially if you didn’t know that going into water got rid of the debuff. It did lots of damage. But you also got to finish mining your ore even if you did die. I think this is definitely worse because I’ve had to stop mining so as not to stand in the dynamite coming out of the node. And you never know when a node is gonna straight up disappear once it’s been tapped.

the only thing you do is mine in the game?

The only way to farm Cloth is to farm mobs that drop it, so i’d say it’s the deadliest of proffessions

Skinning is pretty up there, one of the better areas to far has these swaps that apply a poison that VERY easily takes half your HP on its own fast.

That’s what you take away from my comment?

A challenge… in a gathering profession… what are you even talking about?

Lol, I actually find that really amusing.

The reply was mostly aimed at the first part in which I suggested that it could be a way to disrupt bots. You wasn’t supposed to take the challenge part as literal.

Based on your claim you will turn into a mindless zombie if you can’t have a little challenge in the game. Yes. Lots of other things far far more challenging to do if you are ever in danger of turning into a mindless zombie.

No claim was made. It was a light hearted comment.

I’m enjoying my near deaths to Alchemy and my exploding herbs! :smiley:

To me, it’s funny and keeps me entertained.

But I haven’t tried mining yet so I can’t speak to how that’s going.

not gonna lie, I found it quite funny.

The first time I tried to use overload on a big one, it killed not only me but also another player who was unfortunate enough to be near me.

We had a good laugh, lol

You got taken out by a mining a node?

LMAO!

I watched a dude get tossed off a mountain, and as I watched him fall to his death I got hit next and was also blown off. I bubbled but it was close.

I laughed and laughed!

I feel like I’m missing something with the exploding ore. I always get like a single low quality grab. I thought they were supposed to give extra ore.

These nodes are awesome lol.

Just land on them if you’re having issues.

Don’t overload unless you know what you’re doing Or dont mind dying/ have a bubble like Pally and Hunter.

eh…putting some world trash there to fight would be a lot more logical than some rock tossing out dynamite at me…VERY N64 if you ask me…too juvenile for a mature rated RPG.

I got knocked off a cliff by one of those and fell to my death. It was probably the funniest way I’ve ever died in game. I enjoy the challenge of finding just the right spot to mine those without getting hit.
