Do you use some kind of nameplate or party/raid frame addon that is bugged? New patch could mean your addon’s are out of date and not working correctly.
Do you use Details? It would help to see their death log.
There have been some recent bugs where a ton of spells go off in a short amount of time or do a lot of damage.
Or it’s poor tuning.

Probably vs an ele im guessing? People were exploiting something for like 6 1mils all hitting instantly. Warlocks could do it too, fire off like 4 chaos bolts in the same global.
All casters can do it but harder to pull off on others.

Only thing I’ve seen kill 100-0 in less than a global is an Ele Shaman.

since shadowlands, healing has become brutal because it requires you to be far more aware and react quickly due to spike damage like this
my guess is that your play needs to improve so that you don’t get globaled or let you teammates get globaled, but I wouldn’t feel too bad as the role simply demands more

ty for this information seems that is what is going on tho the nameplate addon might also be part of it

SUDDEN
GLOBAL
DEATH
10lemons
there is always room for improvment but i try not to get to serious with pvp anymore i’m very casual these days and usually end up with 3-4 classes at duelist+
“sudden global death” goes hard, but from the perspective of a washed up solo shuffle healer, I’ve noticed that sometimes I would be looking at stuff like DR’s, cd timers, positioning, etc, and then my DPS would experience sudden global death, but when I’d watch the recording afterwards, I actually had like 3-5sec to prepare for the damage that actually only killed them in 2-3sec rather than instantly like it felt in the moment.
Saying “pay more attention” is kind of a jerkish thing to say, but it might be accurate here (I’m someone who also should pay more attention). You can also find weakaura packs that alert you in giant text when people pop important CDs to make it easier/more apparent when big damage is coming. Also, if someone pops a cd specifically to put you in cc, you should probably expect big dam to be coming in. People don’t just trinket+push in for a risky clone/fear/stun/etc for no reason
that def happens i record all my match’s so i can rewatch stuff
and ya this wasn’t that case
Mistweaver or hunter exploit. Combine it with something broken like ele shaman or rogue ( nerfs tomorrow to 30 percent less damage in pvp).
Also a packet dupe bug / exploit / hack combo for spellcasts.
I’ve actually witnessed dozens of deaths from around 50% health in <1.5 seconds after the patch last week. Several specs have incredible burst now but most often it seems to happen against:
Frost mages FFB shatter for 2-2.5m
Spriest collapsing void 2m
Ele earth shocks 2m
Enhance ascendance/tempest for 2m
Ret light’s hammer or w/e for 2m non crits
Fury warrior rampage
Affliction haunt+shadow bolt for 1.5-2.5m
Feral frenzy into bite for 2.5m
Sub rogue secret tech evisc for 4m
I’m sure there are others but this is what I noticed this weekend. I never was a big fan of dampening but the game is definitely a little too much on the faster side right now imo
