Exdeath Enhanced Blizzard III instakill?

[Ghishlain]

It's a Savage Bug... it's an insta kill if you aren't moving. Happened a number of times in parties I've been in.

So savage version always instakills? Havent gotten O4 savage yet. So then I guessed right and its randomly using the savage version of the attack if thats what it is.

Getting frozen in Savage doesn't kill you - it does hit like a truck though and you're prone to lose DPS (which means messing up the necessary DPS check to clear). I feel like it only does 20-25K at max though, even in Savage.

Yeah thats weird. If it does not instakill in savage it absolutely has no business crunching people with 40k+ damage in normal mode.

It depends on people and their gear, honestly if people move during that attack it's more of a scratch. If people stand still and their gear is awful, based on job, yes it can instantly kill you. It's all about mechanics I would think by know people would move.

I've seem it drop people from 20000+ to zero with no debuffs. And for other's just a scratch and a debuff.

Definitely a bug right now.

I had heard about it, but thought it would never happen to me as it hadn't ever happened before... until my last run against Exdeath. I was a healer and on the first freeze, having taken no damage aside from unavoidable raidwide dps, I didn't pay attention to his cast bar while I was healing a dps that stood in all the things. I dropped instantly with a few others after taking a 38k hit and it took me a cool minute to understand what I'd just seen. Irritating as it is, it's fun discovering bugs in the game. Like when I warped to the waters below Limsa by moving between wards in the Mist. Good times :3

This happened to me last week. I stopped moving after the damage went out, got frozen anyway, and promptly took 40k from a dot that normally ticks for like, 2k max. Was very annoying, especially as I'd done the mechanic.

But yes, it's a random bug.

It's not a bug. Yoshida and his team will randomly watch a group, and if they see any baddie not moving, they'll push their Git Gud button. O4 normal should only be for the most hardcore, elite, parse topping players.

Is it confirmed that it's actually dealing damage? I tried looking it up in the combat log and couldn't find anything, but I'm not sure if that's because of my combat log settings.

I agree with you 100%

Are you frozen peeps sure you're not getting hit with the AOE that he throws out immediately after the Blizzard? The AOE circles can overlap, and if you're frozen (can't dodge) and in an overlapped area of more than one circle it's pretty much an instakill.

I've seen the damage ticker go off on me, didn't see it in the log, but saw the red 40k damage that dropped my full ~32k HP bar to nothing.

Right at the beginning, when he first uses it, there aren't any other AoEs that I've ever noticed that go off close to the same time. I've watched people die at that point to just that. I've died when he was at the opposite side of the arena, against the railing, and I was against the other railing. Definitely a bug.
