That's why most people build defenses in HC. I had just taken 8 straight damage nodes, if I had life nodes instead, I might have lived -_-.
That's all I had for nodes. Only offensive nodes I had taken were ones I had to take to get to my defensive nodes. I had several of the shield nodes, the resistance nodes, and since my guy was mostly evasion and energy shield, all those as well. The only offensive nodes I took were those right at the very beginning for shadow that you HAVE to take to go anywhere.
I was sitting at 800 health, 800 energy shield, 42% block chance, 1600 evasion, and even 400 armor, I had also 75% resistance to all elemental damage and was about to get the additional 16% chaos resistance I had going on top of the 8% node I picked up to bring me over the positive.
Didn't matter, insta pop to one mob. Nothing else had done that to me. I was level 42 in the Ship Graveyard which was like 5 or 6 levels below me. I smacked all the orange bosses down really frikking easy up to that point as well as all the yellows. But even with all that in defense, I got insta popped by a yellow with all the right affixes on it to do so. That was on top of not blocking, evading, or being able to absorb the damage. It was 1 hit 1 kill by that damn thing. I saw the damn thing coming for me like a laser, and I THOUGHT I had moved out of the way to dodge the charge. But since it was a charging Rinoa and had extra speed, it was an automatic desync. What I saw was already too late. I was already dead. It's that desync bug on shit moving too fast that is messed up with the game.
