1st Savage Warrior Warning

[Ekimmak]

Thrill of Battle can get you killed.

I'm serious. If the cast for the HP to 1 attack completes, but Thrill of Battle wears off, and you had more HP than your natural amount, the attack will not compensate for it.

So keep that in mind, else fail in the few times you get asked to MT.

[BluexBird]

Daaamn! What a nasty glitch lol you must have been very unlucky to have Thrill end at that exact moment.

[Legion88]

A11S had the same with its Photon mechanic.

Is it: Max HP + Thrill -> get brought to 1 -> Thrill wears off -> die?

[Lambdafish]

A slight tangent from the post, but for the same attack I believe, cover also gets you killed as a PLD. The person you are covering will take no damage, and you will take "your total HP - 1" + "targets HP - 1" in damage, instantly killing you.

This is more deceptive than thrill because thrill makes sense, whereas this attack should ignore cover in theory.

No.

What happens is, he finishes the cast of the attack, then thrill wears off, then the damage hits and I die.

Because I suddenly lose 20% of my health just before an attack worth 99% of my health hits.

I say they need to take another look at these HP to 1 skills. Either change them to bypass cover, or change how they actually take effect so we don't end up with these unfair deaths.

Ahh gotcha. Sorry, still at 64 so I've no idea what's going on in Omega outside of an O4S stream I watched. P:

Which makes sense because the damage that you will take is calculated when the cast finishes, which affects any buff/debuff on any move. If I hallowed after the cast time of a tank buster is finished but before the attack hits, I will still die.

I know why it happens. But it still shouldn't happen.

An expiring cooldown is killing me. Not clicking a cooldown too early, the cooldown wearing off in a very specific time frame is killing me, when a fraction earlier or later would let me live.

This isn't even like dying to a tankbuster because Bulwark wore off, this specific mechanic is designed NOT to kill you, because it's timed so that it gets no chance for an auto-attack. Make the healers panic, yes. But it's not supposed to kill you.

Can't you turn the buff off by clicking on it when the ability starts casting?
