What? Genuinely confused.

Are you dying to other people getting snuffed?

I think he means that he is dieing to the vicious death proc which is caused by his own death. Ive heard its just a screen bug in the death recap

Some one else most likely died close enough to you that the explosion hit you and did enough damage to kill you

ColoursYouHave

It's just a UI bug. You die, vicious death procs, and your death recap show you taking damage from it even though you were already dead.

I've died to it at low health with no other allies around me.

It's not a UI bug, there's an actual bug with it proc'ing before death.

exactly. solo

I think this bug is related to the visual issue where your health drops so low that your health bar shows you as dead the moment you get a heal/drop a potion. You don't actually die, but your health enters a negative state, then jumps back up with the heal.

In that brief instance the VD can proc... killing you.

I meant potion or any kind of self heal in general. I got hit with a light attack right as I popped a Rally (for a 6K heal). Combat log shows the heal went through right as I exploded in a beautiful ball of blue flame and fur with Viscous Death proccing. I saw my health go positive right as I ignited like a roman candle.

And yes, the constant deaths due to other players dying near me has been most annoying. I feel like I have to fear my own team now more than I have to fear the enemy.

I don't use pots either, the occasional heal I can get it off.

The way I read VD is its supposed to proc after death, it shouldn't appear on your recap (if you're alone) as one of the things that killed you. It'll appear in the combat log too, there's def something fishy about it.

It shows up in the death recap, but it's a UI bug. It doesn't actually do damage to you according to TFlemming:

To clarify, this is a visual bug with death recap where it still counts the proc as a hit for death recap purposes even though you're already dead. The set is not actually dealing damage to the person who procs it before they die, sorry for the confusion.
