I was often running solo Hell Baal in p6-p8 games until I died within 0.5 seconds to Baal wave 3.
My barb was lvl 94, had 4k health, max res, some dr, over 10k def.
Similar thing happen to my Sorc way back while I was giving people rush in NM.
Lvl 88, 1.9k hp, max res, getting 1 shot from NM baal wave 3.
I was prepared to lose my eni, griefs, torch etc from screen freeze, getting killed by Seis when running fast chaos before Baal or whatever, not like that.
All the sleepless nights it took me to build this up taken away from me by this bug.
Thanks Blizz.
There was no way this death was normal, if possible check my death logs or something, but I’m 99% this won’t happen anyway.
Be careful with this bug guys. I thought it can only happen in NM.
An unlucky amp+3-4 hits with fanat aura in a 500ms timeframe? Can that be the cause of your death?
Nope, that wouldn’t kill me ever.
I had warcry maxed for Baal waves and I was stunning mobs to support party when baal spawned them, FE CE damage bug is what’s cause of my death.
But I haven’t seen this in Hell before.
you should give at least 1 person loot anyway
i use pdr gear on my barb to prevent most dmg.
try next char with some pdr mdr gear
I had eni + string for reduce dmg, this would had one shot any char, giving loot to someone is not the issue here
i use on my barb around 70 phisical dmg reduce
this helps me lot against bugged vipers etc.
i am close to 92 in hc aswell
never got any problems with any specific monster so far
yes…vipers…
nuts… real bug
There has been known bug with nm travi for example where characters geared for endgame get one shot by council but I haven’t seen the same thing happen in hell baal before, I didn’t even see my 4k hp bar move, just deleted, that’s the issue
I used to go 1/8 baalrun in p8 pub mf games and never got close to dangerous situation either.
amp’d + fire enchanted maybe?
One reason to why I will not tough hardcore is because of crashes. I would have been dead at least 100 times with my sorc by now in my runs when the game crash. The game often crashes in the weirdest areas too, almost always when I fight something casually.
U got rekt, plain and simple. Three words. Git gud kid.
Why people would choose to play HC on battlenet is beyond me… You’re NOT in control of whether you live or die. All it takes is one bad loading screen/latency and its over.

It was the second eni I built. And I could make 3rd in a week or two.
After death like this occurs I just lost the appetite for it.
Git gud urself.
Pretty sure 50% is the max cap for damage reduction.
my friend died same way on hardcore Ps4!he traveled through the portal in Baal throne room on wave 3!the portal was far from mobs and he instantly died.It was on NM and we wrote a ticket to Blizzard.now we are waiting for answer.
Your death came in convenient place, Poe expansion is day away.
Maybe it was fate.
…and this is one of the reasons, why I don’t play HC…
Sorry for you, but such things happen. You know the risk. There is nothing you can do about it, except play SC in the future…
there are 2 kinds of dmg reduction
- value dmg reduction (Items: Gerkes, Peace Ring, Sol Runes, Gladiators Bane, Arcy etc)
and % dmg reduction ( this is caped by 50%)
now that you mention it, i have often seen in HC that barbarians die in baalwaves. i have often wondered myself, as we made 22-30 runs in a row and suddenly instant dead. - but I must say that I have observed this ONLY with barbarians. with paladins who are also mostly directly inside because of their hammer happened never. and yes it was always on wave 3…hm…
