Exdeath Enhanced Blizzard III instakill?

[LunaFaye]

We talked about it in other threads, the duty finder one, as well as the actual bug report forum, as it started to happen right after patch 4.01 I think it was. And here is what we speculated, based on the experience we did have with different runs.

Sometimes you don't encounter this bug at all and your run will be very smooth, even if people don't do the mechanic correctly, which would mean moving during and at the end of the cast instead of just standing there. However, it occurs that and again it's just based on people's experiences, nothing said officially so please take it with a grain of salt, that if the raid doesn't deal enough dmg, this mechanic will kill you, if not done correctly. It also occurs that in higher dps groups, instead of skipping the mechanic, Ex death gets really bothered and throws that at you as well, when again this mechanic isn't probably executed.

Now obviously this is totally different from people just stacking and overlapping their frozen characters, because that will 1 shot the lesser geared people, but then again not what the OP is actually talking about, because that is not a bug, that's just not paying attention running people over. The bug is the one I mentioned above. Sometimes it just occurs based on Ex death's mood that day it seems lol and is absolutely random. But it more and more looks like the indications above. Sorry I can't prove it, but next time somebody runs it, pay some attention to it, see if you have high performance dps in your group or just slower then snail mail dps, and check if these problems occur.

If so, then that seems to be the "soft" dps check or some groups and the "slow your axx down" indicator for higher performance groups, and not an actual bug but something that was put into place intentionally. Maybe even as fun gimmick, we will never know till it's officially addressed or taken care off by hot fixes, if it's indeed a bug.

To avoid it, of course as usual, perform the mechanic successful and you won't have any issues. No matter how the party performs that day.

Can confirm this happens, at least. Occurred during my O4N for the week and wiped out half of the party, leading to a wipe (since both healers went down). I believe the OT was oneshot as well, so it looks like it does a flat amount of damage no matter your ilevel or role.

It's under Accepted Bugs. Therefore, it is a bug.

I can confirm too, this happened to my party yesterday.
Another strage thing in O4N happens to me last week. The scenario was as follows
-ready check & countdown
-run toward Exdeath
-unmed
-dark art
-Exdeath °does something° (maybe an auto-attack) and both me and the other tank are killed in oneshot.
Honestly i didn t check the logs, healers revived us and we end the fight without any other trouble.

Doubt is a bug, you do get de buffs if your hit by other attacks so makes sense. I think is more of SE finally listening about people not wanting to learn mechanics. If you think about same applies to other fights in the Omega raid were moves instantly kill you. Are all those bugs?

Friends and I tested in. Fully topped up yet we were all one-shot. All our gear was fully melded crafted stuff or Savage. This didn't happen at release nor does it make sense. If it always one-shot'd you, why bother with the freeze effect? You'll just die either way.

I don't know if it's related but every now and then O1's tornado knockback thingy just instantly kills me every now and then (like a 70k damage hit). Still never been able to figure out why it happens.

If you stand too close to the boss, it will instantly kill you.

If you stand too close to the boss, it will instantly kill you.

I know that, but pretty sure that's not been my issue. The boss is almost always kept in the exact same place when that attack happens (dead center of the arena) with no variance, so it's usually pretty clear where the dead zone is (in relation to the boss's hitbox).

By the way, on that note, it's not actually being too close to the boss that kills you, it's being too close to the center. The boss is usually kept in the center unless the tank runs it around for some stupid reason, but that's just where the attack happens to be centered at. Even if the boss moves, the attack position doesn't change.

Hmm. That would explain why I got one shot yesterday lol. I run Sam and more than one time I've gladly taken the blizzard freeze to get off my iai strike before I freeze lol. But yesterday I was full health, 3rd set and doing my iai and *bam* one shot
