Death recap - how does it work?

Magdalina

Unfortunately I have no screenshot, but I got the most peculiar death recap a few days ago in a dungeon which made me wonder about what it actually shows. Death recap told me I'd been hit for 2800+ damage...and SURVIVED. After which an ~1100 damage hit finished me. My health is just about 1400, maybe 1600 or so with food. Let's say 1700 even. That's still nowhere near 2800. So apparently death recap thinks 2800+1100=1700:) Does anyone have an idea on how that is possible?

Pretty sure the 2800 was damage over time, you did not face the full effect either you moved out of damage zone or you died before taking the full damage, the 1100 killed you, this might also be damage over time.

LOL I think its you just haven't tipped over and they hit you several more time's on your way to the ground

I thought it might've been some ticking AoE out of which I stepped in time, but it doesn't seem the case - I had a LOT of dying in that dungeon and I can safely say that when I step out of AoE in time and hence get only partial damage(and then die of smth else) it displays only the partial damage.
Dying before taking full damage is possible I guess...it happened too fast so I'm not sure what came first and what came next. But then I don't think it should be displaying the full damage I never received, it's confusing.
