Because I just got murderpiled by a bunch of them who put down so many of those circles that most of my screen was covered in green fire. At least I sure HOPE it was multiples, because there’s no way in hell a single mob being able to do that is fair in a place with tons of chokepoints and bottlenecks like Malmouth. On open terrain it would be a LOT less of an issue.
EDIT: yes, it was multiples of the damned things, now that I revisit my grave and see them all waiting for me. Christ, no wonder.
And Fleshweaver Haraxis is there for good measure. All the Aetherfire I can eat.
Health reduction doesn’t make your healthbar slide to the left in small but rapid ticks. Something made my healthbar ROCKET down so fast that Wendigo Totem, a Tonic of Mending, Menhir’s Will and ADCtH Blade Arc spam couldn’t save me. The presence of green fire absolutely fucking everywhere makes me think I got aetherburned to death. It seems like the Aberrations can only drop two at a time but there were over a dozen of them there (and Haraxis right behind them summoning MORE) and they drop those circles instantly.
