Died from falling?

I just fell off a cliff in Coerthas Highlands and took more than my max health in damage dying.

I thought you only hit 1 HP from falling?

if you have any form of agro you will die when you fall.

Don't jump off a cliff until you're officially out of battle.

It's also possible to jump without aggro, get aggro from something that's at the bottom of your jump, and die that way (not necessarily because the aggro attacked you, but simply because getting aggro removed the HP-to-1 safeguard). Happened to me several times at Boulder Downs while working on animus books >_>

Ah I get it now, thanks for explaining

I wasn't upset about it was actually pretty funny just very confused.

Happen to me one time, I was poisoned and fell, so down to 1, then the poison finish me off.

Be wary about the time after combat finishes as well. Despite being able to mount and do other things that can only be done out of combat, the server seems to lag on fall damage clearance. I hopped off a cliff in Coerthas, with a good 5 seconds post-combat end, but still died to fall damage. It's just the fickle way that combat detection seems to work in this game. Late actions done to a mob, despite it dying, will cause the server to think you're still in combat after the battle ceased.
