So, i ragequited today thanks to the fourth time i got 1 hitted by a normal mob (lvl 36). The thing is that i can tank like 4 mobs at the time UNLESS they got greatswords. If they have a greatsword they can 1 hit me with their spin. makes sense? NO. im playing on a offensiv warrior atm and i dont have that bad gear but this keeps happening to me. Some1 please help with hints cuz i cannnot dodge all spins :S

I’ve never died in 1 shot unless I jumped down a cliff and ended up dead because I thought the fall was shorter.

I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.

My Elementalist got this all the time. Which was the major reason to me benching it. I wanted to play it more and I wished I liked it more, but it was just so weak. I’d say to get a rifle as a backup weapon and swap to that and range them.

If you reduce a mobs movement speed (aka, snare, cripple, slow, what ever) and they are using the warrior greatsword spin attack, then each tick of the attack will liekly hit you because they will not spin far enough away from you. Make sure you aren’t reducing their movement speed, and try using some utility skills to make yourself more durable.

Well there can be many reasons for this. but would need more info to give hints.

What level is your toon? what level is your armor? what traits have you invested in? Which healing skill are you using?

And which spinning attack is it? you can move out of the way by simply moving not everything needs to be dodged since spinning usually needs to hit you for a couple of seconds to deal its full damage potential.

I guess I can tell you to know your interrupts and move out of the way if the spinning is in place.

I’m playing a warrior too (among other toons) and I invest in thoughnes/healing trait and use the Healing signet and when health is low just kitting for a few seconds gets me back to half health.

Cancer is also a Zodiac sign.

Every mob have a heavy attack. These greatsword mobs happen to have a spin attack that if you don’t evade you’re pretty much dead. I never had problems with those spin attacks. You just need to back flip, wait until the spin is over and strike again. You can even switch to a ranged weapon immediately after back flipping and hit them while the spin animation is still playing.

You’re pretty much going to have the same result with any single attack that does damage across a duration if you stubbornly remain in the spot the damage is occurring the entire time. Spinning greatsword attack, spinning dual-axe attack, poison cloud, burning patch of ground, dual pistol unloading, whatever.

Well, that’s the thing… the greatsword spin attack is not a single hit. It’s a blender on the puree settting. When you see an enemy coming at you with a sword twice his size, you know you’re going to have to be ready to dodge at a moment’s notice if you want to risk melee combat, or just snare him and engage at range. Ain’t no shame in a warrior using a rifle.
