White Gold Tower - normal? Extreme DMG taken in Random DUgeon Tool (4/7/16) - Xbox

NewBlacksmurf

Hey folks,

Questions as well as looking for feedback here.

I very rarely play White Gold Tower and so last night this popped as a random and it was on my alt.
<insert fear>

The good news is the group was all cool folks, who were good at their roles. We wiped a few times due to some not knowing fights, etc but all in all we completed the whole dungeon as a pug in 1 hour.

My Question:

-Why are we or were we taking 100k to 80k dmg (we didn't forget to repair)

Obviously the death recap shows what the dmg came from, but we noticed that sometimes on trash, sometimes of elite trash and randomly on bosses
This did not occur until after starting the fight with the three bosses - Micella Carlinus, Otho Numida & Cordius Pontifio

So we kill these three on the third try...Great, and upon dealing with trash and any boss fight after, we began to take 1-shot DPS of a min of 80k- 100k.
Now, our group was a Templar (healer), Dragon Knight, Sorc and DK tank.

We adjusted and kept up DK ign shield, healing staff shields, the Temp kept up their Circles....
Now I'm not an elite and it seemed most of us are casuals but all of us knew our classes and the only wipes were these 1-shots or 1 or 2 due to not knowing a boss fight.

Is that normal for these trash mobs, or the adds in boss fights ?

On the boss - The Planar Inhibitor, the inhibitor pinion (if we missed one pop) would hit me for 140k.

again just seeking feedback or point me to a thread about this cause....I dont recall this when IC dropped.

If you died from a damage over time effect (DoT), the death recap will show the total damage from that DoT. E.g., so if you had the pinion for a while, you'll likely have accumulated a few hundred thousand damage from the Heat Stroke DoT. And if you died, it will show you the total from that DoT, even if most or all of it had been healed through for the duration of the DoT.

This.
If you were affected by damage over time effect, death recap shows total damage dealth to you, not just killing blow.

As for the 3 Protector fights, you might be standing in their standards
As for the inhibitor, If you stand in her blue phase, 1 shot. If you get enough of the DoT on you, it will show a high amount of damage but that is over the entire time you've been fighting.

It would be helpful if you told us WHAT was hitting you. If it said Heat Stroke or Standard, it would be normal.

Yeah....that makes sense in very few situations tho.

for example, on trash, those ugly brute two legged things and the demon-like things.
1-hit on tank...BAM 100k or hit on me and bam 80K.

DOTs yes that makes perfect sense and that was something I didn't think of but all of this was not a DOT.
..this would occur on a revive, ...take step...BAM! 140k from annilus

We are all ranged...except the tank.
We did die at first to the AOE DK like ultimate's...then you realize...back it up buddy....

I'll take screen shots next time cause it really began to bother me as I was explaining the fights for one guy but he nor most of the group died due to mechanics after the first wipe.

Were you v16 or scaled with a leader being less than v16? I think there may be a bug that you get scaled to the leader's level but the dungeon gets scaled to v16 so you do less damage and have less protection. Not sure though

Hmmm

I was VR5, tank was VR2-8 somewhere in there, Sorc was level 45 and healer was VR2 so yes we were all scaled but this didn't occur until half way through the dungeon. Would that work different if no one was VR16?

I ask cause...we decided to have the other DPS and the healer leave...go repair and then come back while me and the tank stayed but we never changed group members or anything but this weird dmg began before the repair break

But who was the leader?
