Prizes for new Default/Hardcore leagues

I died at level 79 on Hardcore.
Final Gear
Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable It turns out that rare mob had elemental reflect, which I couldnt see since he was surrounded by other large mobs. My health went down in less than 1 second but I cannot say it was even one hit (because lightning arrow hits are all cumulative, but not instant). I managed to heal one time with Unavailable but it was not enough and I went down after that. This highlights what I thought was a problem with crit damage builds because I died almost instantly and I only have a crit multiplier of 150%.I think I should have had more skill to stay alive if I want to do that much DPS, my death seemed fair to me, but I dont think reflect is quite right because I dont see any build that can use crit damage multiplier viably. Good event guys =) EDIT: Prozon was streaming, so if I can get a link up to the death I will let you know Found the death Video here Scroll to 4:35:00 Last edited by Metronomy#6891 on Oct 24, 2012, 9:29:35 PM

That was really hard to see the reflect mob there, low quality recording but still, considering it is so dangerous, maybe it should be much more obvious.
I thought you were going to say you didn't know it was reflect because mob was in the water, which is an even bigger problem! |

Dont know your exact build, but im seeing 5/10 gear pieces without life, so im assuming youre not huge on life% nodes and have a relatively low life total to match. Thats probably the issue (unless you didnt have max resist) since i ran 40% crit / 400% crit multi / crit weakness on my previous season main and never had an issue with reflect due to high effective life + leech.
Anyway rip, and gl if you decide to rebuild! IGN: KoTao Last edited by KoTao#4717 on Oct 24, 2012, 11:45:38 PM

My condolences. Congrats on getting that far though.

I counted 5 arrow shots that got reflected, that's about 3 more than I usually get (non-hardcore, less defense). Definitely had plenty of defense, it sure appeared to be a combination of not seeing the reflect aura and you not realizing quickly enough what the reflect was doing to you.

"Yeah, I got 5 shots in because I healed at least once, though I didnt realise why I was taking damage so I still was attacking (because when you pop a diamond flask, you dont stop attacking obviously). If I didnt use a potion it would probably be 3-4 hits. Im not 100% on this, but is the damage from elemental reflect all reflected in the right element? I was doing a map with -Max resistances, and I dont know if that makes a difference to the damage you take. |

" I think it does. I've realised that when I face elemental reflect mobs without max resists I take substantially larger amounts of damage. That said, nothing that resists tend to max at 75%, the amount of damage one can deal with a high crit multiplier can still kill you if you don't have enough HP to deal with 25% of the 25% of the damage you do Build of the Week 14

Yes, elemental reflect gets effected by your resists. I can 1-hit kill myself (and have done it at least 3 times this patch) with low resists, bump those up to proper levels and I can take 6+ hits.

" It will be intersting to compare the top 20 after 4 weeks i mean there is bound to be loads of changes amongst them and different people are sure to get prizes. (yes i am being sarcastic) Seems a bit of a Sham giving out prizes when boosting is present(and nothing is done about it especially where lvl 1 characters are used) and it does make such an impact on longer Races. It would surely have made more sense to do a class prize system as you pretty much know what classes are going to be in the Top 10. And can pretty much guarantee that the top players have there methods of staying top..Fairly or not. Its only money. May as well spend it here.
Buy beta. Please Do Not PM me if you have no sense of humour as to what i say on forums. |

Suggestion: some currency or side prizes for top member of each class.
