10k Damage on T16 Count Geonor

I wanted to use a T16 juiced map on the Iron Citadel, and boy oh boy did I regret that (yes, its my fault that I didnt curse him before the fight...):

Mods:



ES\MANA\HP Check before\after HIT:



I have Mind-Over-Matter (as shown in the screenshot), there was no Extra X Damage on Monsters in the map (just the Pen Resistances), and I had 5000 Energy Shield + 5000 Mana before the hit, so I took 10 000 Damage from just 1 swipe from Count Geonor

Isn't that a bit too much?
I dont care about the Exp (4%) that I lost on Level 97, but 1 shot, come on

Critical Hit maybe? Deals double damage.

It seems this geonor also had extra lightning damage due to what I assume was Deadly Evolution thus shocking you at the moment of death.

what were your resists? depending on the attack, it could've been phys/cold hybrid damage that did you in alongside the extra lightning damage he's guaranteed in this waystone.

The damage could be more... but we will never know.

It is BS, the game just forces OHKO.

And some Dev want "players to see the mechanics"... it is laughable. Just make a delete boss build and be happy. If the game wants to OHKO, let us OHKO back.

Never run elemental penetration unless you specifically did the math on it.

Also 20% gained as extra lightning + 20% more damage taken because of shock + 32%pen isn't something you should be doing in general.

Edit: The more I look at it the more I like it. It's a very good example of players underestimating and not knowing modifiers being present.

Not really surprised, that hit has some phys to cold conversion, not counting the extra lightning. It hit my char (76% resists, big ES) for something like 5,5k. With extra lightning and 32% elemental penetration, plus 76% delirium, 10k looks unsurprising.

100% this.

I looked at the screen and immediately saw shock and pen.


32 pen is ridiculous to be running.



Gotta know what modifiers actually do OP, as well as ailments. You are taking A TON of extra elemental damage. Its a multiplier as well and not additive when you have shock on you.

Deli is a combination of multiplicative and additive buffs to mobs. And at 75% it will be significant.

I belive delirious increases damage, scaling up to 30% increase at 100%

I have 76% Res on all (I dont care about Chaos cuz of CI).

I upgraded my Wand and wanted to do the most Juiced T16 I had to test it out, and everything was going great until the boss, where I didnt Curse him (I 1 shot them when I curse them, I 2-3 shot Xesht T4), but I was too cocky and though, eh, I can do it without the curse, and here we are.

I've always been a bit conservative when it comes to Citadels, as they are hard to find and I dont die often (I only died once between L96 - L97, and I was running Xp proection Omen).

I know its my fault for running this juiced map, but I still cant get past that swipe :)
