100% of my past 20 deaths were from on-death mechanics
The mobs that I fight, anywhere, do not damage me at all. The only thing that does an iota of damage is an on-death *thing*. And by iota, I mean instant-death.
Leaving out gimmick bosses like Lilith, Bartuc, Mephisto who have instant-death mechanics, other bosses cannot even tickle me.
This is what I noticed since my first time back playing D4 since it released - deaths are never from the usual stuff you'd expect in an RPG game - a mob crits you from one of their attacks, a boss hits you with a wind up that you failed to dodge, you literally stood in fire too long or didn't mitigate strong poison fast enough.
This game - oh, your forearm hair brushed against a spark from the explosion, you're DEAD!
Why is the game in this state?
