Individually those pieces don't one-shot you. But it's otherwise laughable if you pull off the mobs a few at a time and the aura is quite visible. So a Deadly pack that you let get up on you being boosted by a Allies Have Substantially Increased Physical Damage is dangerous. Allies Have Increase Critical Chance and Accuracy (aura - strong visual tell) Allies Have Substantially Increased Physical Damage (aura - strong visual tell) Allies Have Increased Physical Damage (aura - strong visual tell) Here's an incomplete list of things to pay attention to: You can defuse a lot of dangerous combinations simply by pulling pieces of packs out to yourself, reading it then choosing to commit or not.

You had the chance, but you didn't have the foresight to prevent it. Okay, see, you've nearly stumbled onto the salient point here. I'm asking that Hardcore mode give me this thrill, instead of eliminating me all of a sudden. So please don't tell me to play Normal mode. I want to play Hardcore for the thrill of survival. I don't want to see them disappear suddenly.

I spend hours of hard work and effort to level my Hardcore characters, GGG.

This gives me a chance to fight, flee or react a chance to come in with new resistances or more armor and hp if I get away. In other action RPGs, if im going to die, i can see it coming because my health bar drops. (This is not a bug, but typical gameplay I'm talking about)ġ) Have a chance to fight for my character's life instead of simply seeing it be alive one moment and dead the next.Ģ) Would like to know what is killing me or killed me in a clear and concise manner (some sort of recap after death?) And by this I mean dying to bosses, auras and monster effects combined, etc. I just want to ask if anyone else in Hardcore has an issue with suddenly dying without any prior warning in PoE.
