2k hp >>>> Dead

willpascoe24prb19_ESO

To set the screen I am in vet 7 areas I am a sorc and I run in full cloth.

What I don't understand when I have food buff on I have almost 2.5k hp and I take on a group of mobs 2 or 3, I will get hit a couple of times that takes me down to about 3/4 of my hp bar and then BOOM dead.

This happens when I've just repaired my gear and any other time in-between 1 mob alone has done this to me when I've taken on groups of 2 and had a pet tanking 1 while I was killing the other.

Is this some sort of bugged dmg on the behalf of NPC mobs or are they ment to have an out right white attack crit of 1.5 to 2k dmg? I say white because i can't see any markers to indicate I am in a special attack area.

We had a few times yesterday farming dungeons. Not using food. But suddenly you just get killed for something like 2.2K hit. And it always seems to be the trash mobs that does it.

I experienced something similar. On a DK, i was taking on groups of mobs for a good while, so i had a feeling for when i am getting into trouble. My HP was gradually declining, when it reached about halfway mark i would use dragon blood and obsidian shield, it was pretty much routine. I just finished a pack of 3, regen, then went to kill a pack of 2. All identical zombies, more or less.

Fighting the two, my health started to decline, so i used the usual abilities while still well above half health - then boom, dead.

Say what?

Never happened again. I'll be damned if i know what killed me. Maybe some weird server lag?

(this was regular levels, not veteran, but i was a level 29 fighting level 37's, so the difficulty was somewhat comparable )

Have you tried to use Lightning form (after morph Thundering presence)? It gives you +1750 armor for 6 sec (with morph 8 sec) and it really helped me! Since I use this + heal with healing stuff, I dive in the mobs and nuke them down as fast as I can. If it takes too long, you are dead.

Oh and I also crafted my armor from 2 sets, both gives you +100 armor, so normally I have 1000 armor now (medium is around 1100).

Yep I have that under my aoe and yeah it works.

But this isn't about taking on to many mobs its about a sudden burst dmg from a white attack from non elite vet 7 mob it doesn't happen all the time but in the course of taking 10 / 20 groups out 1 Npc mob seems to get a bit cranky and will do a HUGE amount of dmg with a white attack.

Oh well, in this case thats something else. It also happened with me, that I got oneshot by a mob, but it was pretty rare and I took it as a lag problem.

Yup, something similar happened to me.
Vr1 harvester just one-shotted me. "Boom" and I'm dead.

Mobs can crit you. There is an armor buff which reduces crit chance, forget which one.

Yes i know mobs can crit but for 2k?

I understand that some specs can 1 shot kill npc mobs with sneek attacks I how ever have not managed this with a staff and casting.

But for a npc to be able to do a 2k crit that you can't block because you don't know it coming seems to me like something is broken either the animation isn't there to suggest to you your going to be hit hard or there is lag involved or for some reason some coding is out of place and 1 mob in x will hit like an elite.
