Can you fix Purgatory?

Purgatory is a damn joke right now, ever since Dragonflight, it became ever worse and it almost feels like a 50/50 chance of you just instantly dying. I don’t understand how developers are not paying any attention to this bug, on a class that takes so much damage and is heavily reliant on this talent especially on fortified weeks.

Interesting. You know how do I replicate this scenario to where it fails?

It’s easy, play DK for like 2 hours (20+ keys) on fortified and you’ll die through purgatory :smiley:

I did my weekly 20s, didn’t die once through Purg. I had Purg get overloaded once, when I managed to take 4mill damage from pools - but even then I only died to failing DS it all back up.

Is it something in particular you do - or is it just something that feels random and out of control when it does?

They will not fix sh*t cause Blizzard literally hates this class.
It has been broken since season 1.

I did my 20s with full S1 gear, and now that I am going into +24s, it’s just a matter of time until you get oneshot through purgatory, I think it happens when you take a large hit and perhaps some other damage within close interval (like 0.02s) which just kills. I was in +24 Freehold yesterday and I died on first pull through purgatory, it just somehow felt I am taking a lot more damage than I should be, and then at one moment I was insta dead…

Also, I am far from the only one experiencing this, literally every Blood DK I know says the same thing, in DF it started happening a lot more often than before.

Freehold from last night, instantly died on first pull

Can you give me link to logs on warcraftlogs, makes it easier to see what even causes what. I tried running in on a 20 without any CDs on freehold first pack, it just procced by purgatory and didn’t instakill me. So other than some angry mates, I got off for free.

I presume the server gets told that you died, then purgatory hits in, then it resends that information and you instantly die on the 2nd server check - as purgatory can only stop death once. Yet, could be many things and logs will help narrow it down in events.

Kind of funny when you want to see the effect, it evades you - but when you know it is there and want to avoid it, it sticks around like an angry wasp.

Once I know how to recreate it, I will submit a clear bugreport on the issuewith a video to explain the matter and how it works to the devs. Usually speed things up

Forget about it . They don’t give a single sh1t about purgatory bug. It’s pointless to post anything here . They don’t play their game, don’t even know what purgatory is. I have witnessed purgatory bug hundred times, posted twice on forum , around 10 bug reports. Forget about it.
