I killed T. in the Sanctum, collected my chests full of stuff, then wandered around a bit to see places I’d missed because I facetanked him and…got hit by a masive DoT effect…wtf? The fight was over, there should not be an effect that can hit you afterwards and kill you like that. And I’m not talking about the green stuff, anyone who makes it to SoF knows about the green stuff, this was yellow.
I love this game, and the xpac, but this is just pure B.S.
You probably went into the side areas which is full of aether storms that will deal damage to you in large chunks.
Might be an idea for the devs to add some skeletons/etc… to make it a bit more obvious if that would be needed since running around in aether infested areas could make the recognition of aether storm deaths areas a tad bit hard.
Or just lower the damage to smaller bursts maybe.
The aether, as I pointed out in the original post, was not the problem, but that yellow effect (I didn’t catch what it was) added on top of it was ridiculous.
Well, if you would know what damage type it is, we maybe could answer your question. Just saying yellow stuff that dealt high amounts of damage as a DoT will not really give us an idea what you mean.
What I could imagine is, there are large aether crystals flying around the boss room. If you get to close to them, they will deal damage to you but I am not sure if they also apply a DoT on you if you get hit by them. I mostly got hit by it like “Albrechts Aeather Ray”.
