Rip #1: Blight
Rip #2: Legion
With that pattern he should die to a Synthesis zone next and some Betrayal bullshit after that.

How to level to 100 in HC.
Don't do bosses
Don't do league mechanics
Don't run maps with LMP or 2+ damage mods.
Don't do a combination of everything above.
You don't have fun but it is ez lvl 100. Really regular map mobs are just so easy in comparison to the new stuff

I think Darkee (first SSF HC Awakener) said that he didn't run rare maps because sustain was so good anyways and he didn't do metamorphs. And his character was really tanky. He didn't take any risks.
Especially in T16 maps the metamorphs are insanely tanky and scary, and most of the time not worth the loot (exceptions are possible high ilvl shaper/elder bases).
33
Gotta point out that he did run them for completion at first, just that when all completion was done he could sustain just blue ones.

He was slowly running out when i checked him out and mentioned having to start alch spamming
1
I been running fully juiced t16 megamorphs on HC, legion/blight are way more dangerous imo. As long as you don't give your creation 4-5 dmg mods you're good.
1
Also add, play non self cast builds like summoner/mines/totems. But mostly summoners.

I got to 99.75 last league and did everything, even cortex with 3 damage mods. Really you just need to have VMS for anything remotely dangerous and log out if your VMS pool gets low.
I died to a beyond blighted encounter. The towers summoned bameth off screen, but they can't interact with non-blighted enemies. So he was free to channel vaal dd and I flame dashed into it.
Legion was by far the closest call beside bameth though, those guys do not play nice and you'll want 2 VMS for it if the first set of rares fuck you up.
1†
So what you're saying is be extremely tanky with a charge-up shield and log out if said shield gets low. Thinking this is fine should be the dictionary definition of Stockholm syndrome.
3
It's not fine. That's why I want medium core to come out already. HC is just too punishing for all the bs in the game. They literally add a new bs mechanic or two every league. At least you have to consent to getting fucked up by a metamorph, but baran spawning in 15 mobs on top of you already casting abilities is enough reason to hate this shit.
2
Whats vms sir?
1
Vaal molten shell

And this is why it's time for the remaining HC-only players to graduate to SC. Being able to play the whole game without watering down the content is bliss!
1
this is my main gripe with HC. the sheer amount of maps youre doing in endgame, if you have more than 1% chance to die (even with good play) on optional content, you most likely have to skip it. you can succeed in HC trade very easily if you make use of the correct defense layers and play safe. but playing safe is boring

Every time I run into Eternal Legion mobs I get vaporised by those Captain Smashfuckers with the shields

Not unheardof, some synth mobs are dangerous as hell

Looks like he got hit with Hyrri slam + Rain of Arrows at the same time.
Also looks like the first hit inflicts an ailment for like 3 frames. The image doesn't load but I'm guessing the Rain of Arrows was a crit from a mob with lightning damage and he was shocked for the Hyrri slam + rest of the RoA (which rolls crit per volley I think?).

Reading this makes it pretty apparent a death log in this game is more or less impossible. They'd have email you an excel spreadsheet.
120
they also don't log any of that data, the calcs happen and it's done after dmg is applied.
21
You would need a serverfarm the size of a city to store all those logs from every single player...
8
Or just do what wow does and record combat logs client-side.
13
Not really, the logs would take a minimal amount of space. Especially compared to the amount required for everyones stashes with many tabs and tons of items in each tab. Not like they'd need to store this forever either, it could be removed, say, after a week, with the option to download it first when you start the game. You vastly underestimate how much data can be pretty easily handled and worked with these days.
1
But... predictive mode?
I still don't understand why we have predictive mode, but the logging allegedly has to happen serverside. So, basically, we can see into the server-future, but the server-past is too much to ask for?
2
To be precise, client tries to predict server future, and most of time it more or less correct. But if you've got internet as bad as mine with packet drops and horrible jitter, it can also lead to horrible desyncs where on my screen i've moved two screens, but actually i'm banging my head on the corner of some room screen before and get teleported back after resync or /oos.
But well, i won't be able to play at work without predictive at all, so i'll take it.
2
Doing some calculations client side and storing data server side are two completely different features with completely different impacts on performance.
1
lol, predictive mode is best for HH full juicing maps. impossible on lockstep
1
he dived into a Legion boss without killing the rares and they had overlapping auras, it doesnt matter about a deathlog because they probably all hit him at once for 4k each
I actually cant believe he committed to that, utterly foolish
18
That's what I thought too, don't you want to clean all those ranged mobs before going head-on on the boss
1
This is so accurate it hurts.

I come from EVE Online and I welcome the spreadsheet spam.

It depends on implementation; you don't need an actual log because you don't need every detail. Just a couple of pie charts for DIT and hits with the damage types would be sufficient for 90% of scenarios. You could even scale the slice sizes to give a reference to how much total damage it was tracking over all types and some information about status. But even that may be too little gain for the effort.
0†
that kind of half baked solution is never going to go over well. "you took 20k fire damage in 5 hits" is not exactly helpful when people still dont understand they got done in by a bunch of grey/black volatile bugs. Its especially not really helpful for new players that want to learn which attacks/monsters to avoid in the chaos that is poe. Damage types dont hlep at all for those players that would most profit from a deathlog.
Its gonna cause a whole lot of angry reddit threads to give a bunch of information, but not the information people actually need.
14
What information would you like to see?
0
Shocked + 126% added cold + legion boss slam = you can't tank that.
Edit: Plus a few rares with auras just in case.
27
It was ignite I guess. Also I see 1 rare archer hit him first and inflict that ignite. And also third attack from something. On top of the cake,grant flask expired right before hits.
2
the most scary thing on the screen is the sub phys aura
2
tbf sub phys is terrifying
1
That wasnt a slam, he clearly takes about 5 seperate hits
1
one of the hits was hyrri's slam it looked like, but yea it was 4-5 hits as flasks expired
0
"stands in super telegraphed attack"
what happened?
11†
He knows what he stood in, just more surprised that it did that much damage. When you think of legion bosses you generally think of the maraketh boss or the templar beam actually capable of dealing a lot of damage let alone through vms + bone armour + 10k ehp + jinxed juju fortify and 80% max res.
28
he also just stood infront of 3 legion rare archers in a +126 damage as cold map, thats a recipe for getting nuked
10
He under-estimated GGG when they said they buffed the boss damage.
5
Doubt it, it was probably the shock from the other legion mobs + getting crit by hyrri, power charge on hit map modifier doing work lol
2
Oh boy Legion archers. Never EVER stay near those asshats. They'll kill anything.
9
I mean its easier to move around them so they cant adjust their aim enough to hit you if you are close tough.
1
Look, I'm not a better player or anything, but kiting a bunch of already hard-hitting rares with complimentary auras to a boss doesn't seem like a great play in review.
9
Rain of arrows applied shocked, then he stood in the slam effectively doubling the slam damage
Don't facetank legion bosses
7
Obligatory "this is why I dont play hardcore" comment.
4
Boss channels an attack for 3 seconds with clear visuals. My summons will probably block that attack for me.
3
Him listening to darkee's stream really messed me up
2
His last rip he was listening to RaizQT, detecting a pattern here lol.
1
Saw that one coming from a mile away , aggrod like 5 yellow dudes without finishing them

It's like life really.
Fine, fine, fine, fine, cancer.
1
Just dont get hit lul
2
What could have he possibly expected? He just activated and dragged a dozen rare enemies onto a leagueboss.
2
theres like 8 rares from legion right there. ofc hes dead
2
Rares with auras buffing each other OMEGALUL
So many fights go from 0 to 100 as soon as sub phys haste rares show up.
2
That ?ice? nova spell, by the Legion boss Queen Hyrri, was well telegraphed. He had a second to react (get out) when the white AOE rim appeared.
Shocked + 126% added cold + legion boss slam = you can't tank that.
2
Time well spent xD
2
Why are people cycloning? What's the benefit in doing that vs just staying range?
1
All kinds of reasons, chiefly gaining Fortify, but also various things like proc Holy Relic regen/damage, life/es/mana gain on hit, blind on hit (if not using aura), targeting for minions, curse on hit etc.
2
Cwc spells. Dan has fortify boots with cyclone cwc desecrate and offering.
2
had*
3
Also necro has a passive called mistress of sacrifice that has great synergy when coc+cyclone+offering
You can basically refresh your ES every second or so
