Hello community,
First I’ll say I’m having a blast in this game. It’s much more impressive than I had imagined. That said, I have one major frustration, and that’s cheap, unavoidable deaths.
Most importantly, I guess, is I should say my toon is only level 61 so this may change at higher levels—it’s my first toon so I do not know.
But there have been at least a dozen times when I’d pop a skill challenge, an event boss would spawn, or something similar and I’d die instantly or be sitting at 10% HP before I can move.
I’m pretty quick with evades/dodges and think my twitch skills are pretty darn strong, but I’ve gotta be doing something wrong here—that sort of issue can’t be fun or intended, I’d think?
So rather than being a whiner that says “TOO HARD!!!” I’d like to ask how you guys deal with instagibbing? I’ve tried timing my evade for the moment the mob spawns, but that’s only decent results. The one I’m having a hard time with right now is the Soldier Mesa skill point where the 3 imps spawn. I’m sitting at just below 8khp and the initial burst from all 3 totals between 6-8k. Not easy to recover from and still do any sort of dps.
I know there are strategies i can work on—pick one off and reset it, etc. I’m not too worried about the strategy part. But what I am worried about is how to avoid going from clicking an “Accept Challenge” button to being dead or almost dead without having a chance to react.
This same issue has happened in story mode quite often, too.
I’m wearing crafted green at-level gear with yellow weapons, so I’m not struggling from that standpoint.
How do you guys deal with insane upfront damage?
Again, this is not a whine in any way, shape or form. It’s just a player trying to get better.
Thanks!
