Tamriel one hit wonders

Yes, it's a bug, that only happens to you, 5 times in a row. It could never be your fault, you're amazing and never make mistakes.

Had an amusing time in Spindle 1 with the whisperer. Having soloed it before patch I knew the mechanics but the two dps in group didn't. Given I was the healer I should have done more, but the one-shot is impossible to preemptively heal so I spent the fight making bets on which of the dps would die each time and ressing them after.

The trick with the lava attack is that you can watch what the visual cue is before it happens, at this point back away from the target a few steps and then you can side step the lava as it comes towards you. This is the same way you can get around the lightning waves in the last boss of WGT

Good to know, but two days ago the lava attack was not one-shotting me, and the only normal mode changes listed are improved HP on monsters, so it still seems like a bug. For now I'm just chalking it up to training for Veteran mode.

Uhm... I need examples of vet bosses who can 1 hit without warning (aside from vMA random/lag pawnzors) cos I havent seen any so far?

Maybe post patched changed something in some vet dungeon that I have yet to encounter... So far tho, I have not run into any mechanic that is an insta-1-hit with 0 warning. There are some cases of unavoidable damage that would kill a player if they are under 16k health but no one should be under 16k health tbh so that is a non-issue. Maybe someone who has encountered a random 1 hit can give us some examples?

Selene, end boss for selene's web. My health is about 30k fully buffed.

So what? You can simply move out of that attack. Don't even need to roll dodge.

AFAIK the attack gives the clue that it needs to be blocked. Like a charged attack. If the only way to survive is getting away then it should hint a red cone on the floor.

If they fix the clue I see no problem.

Yep, Selene's green ghost bear is one shot kill regardless of how much health you have. The safest bet is to roll forward and get behind her, where you're sure it can't hit you. And the channel is pretty long, at least 2s from what I've seen. Only got killed on 1st run because I didn't know it was one shot. But on 2nd run farming the head with the same group we actually got the no death achievement because everybody had learned the mechanic. Really simple compared to the horrors in other veteran dungeons where the spiky spider sends you to the catacombs or impales you, or the argonian shaman curses you with a totem, a statue and an army of one shot adds at the same time.

I think it must be bugged then, I'm not getting any warning, I don't see or hear a bear, or any red on the floor, or any channeling lines from the boss, or any change in animation.

Can only hope quest markers have returned, or it's pvp for me.

It must be bugged for you. I was healing this dungeon and even from at range, I could easily see the giant, glowing green bear spirit. It's the same animation that procs with the monster set from there.

I never said I don't make mistakes, I do. As tank, it usually leads to a rez or a wipe, either way, I apologize after.
My DPS seem to be most accident prone, due to lower HP and fewer heals.

The only instant death issue I have run into so far that was not telegraphed was Rillis in Vet Banished Cells 1. Not sure if this was attributed to server latency or what have you but the boss was instantly killing the entire group and the death recap was not showing what instantly killed us.
