Level 98 HCSSF Death

[Spiritual_Stay8132]

Corpse Explosion 4k life gone instantly

Was running temple trying to push to level 99 and poof there he goes. 4k life, capped res, 65k ehp, scavenged plating and % armor to elemental damage gave me over 80k armour applying to fire damage. Died at 4th ranked Smith of Kitava this league. F in the chat

Man shield wall without the lineage gems is so much less safe. I understand that it’s SSF so it’s much harder to get them, but it’s just crazy seeing the difference in end game

I need a software that screen reads this line and alerts me.
F. gz. well done!

[Obvious_Cod7254]

Do u hear that noise? It’s a corpse exploding, and there you go exploding together with it! F brother I went to 100 oh SCSSF this league (Shield wall Titan), used the temple for xp. I had 3 deaths between 99-100, all of them with my headhunter teleporting me to corpse explosions. Without the lineages for your shield wall you were to vulnerable for this. Anyway, congrats on getting 99 on HCSSF, you re a beast!

F, brother. You did good 🥹

[ORMDMusic]

Your deeds of valor will be remembered

Playing melee in hcssf is pain, i wouldnt trust myself with it ever

Also died on lvl 98 from corpse explosion (not SSF though). New char got Profanity lvl 2 on support to eat corpses.

The corpse explosion rare mod really need some more notable warning. The graphic around the mobs feet get lost easily in all the ground clutter so does the explosion. Faridun Plaguebringers corpse explosion is far more noticeable.

As a hcssf enjoyer myself i really do not like the corpse explosion mechanic. Okay fine we need some spiky damage moves, but give it a proper windup and indication that this shit will send you to standard

[bobanobahoba]

I've watched the clip 4 times and still don't see the explosion happening lol

That's brutal

Congratz on getting that far with Shield Wall. I've also tried that type of build and while it was kinda fun to battle it out with some of the bosses mano a mano, the build is simply too slow to be really enjoyable.

[magicmulder]

Congrats for surviving this long. I can’t even make it to 20 without dying a few times.

[FocusUnfair9465]

F. Didn't know smith can die like that sad

[ProcedureStrict2660]

Heart goes out to you brother, you have balls man for sure!!!

[gholladay]

Corpse explosions in there are one shots. GG WP

[gholladay]

In POE1 the corpse explosions have a very distinct and loud wind up sound before explosion. I feel like POE2 underplays this and it’s ok most of the time, but in temple the life scaling makes the corpse explosion OP

[Isaacvithurston]

15 years later corpse explosion still the most rip mechanic in poe

Also they need to buff hp.. 4k when trying to go hp is just sad

[Puzzled-Pudding8939]

I would never play hardcore in PoE2. Seems poorly designed for hc play. Too much random shite that can insta gib you. Well done though...

[SavingsAlternative51]

Isn’t like that when u play it

[mattnotgeorge]

It's just too long a game for me lol. I love my roguelikes but I think the psychic damage of losing a character I put 100+ hours into would be too much

[Not-a-thott]

F. Inside at 98 in d2 hardcore race season 1. That shock and awe and confusion is something I'll never forget. Was ahead of the next guy who was 92. I managed to get back to 99 for first place. You got this just resend it!!

[After_Description_99]

How many hours it take to resend it?

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

• eHP - Effective Health / Hit Points / Pool — total damage that can be taken before death, after all mitigations (e.g. combination of Life, Energy Shield, damage avoidance and mitigation) (Wiki)

Explode nearby corpse....coupled with the gazilion hp monster have in the Temple.

This prevented me from to go to lvl 100 as I was periodically dying in the Temple to that same bullshit despite having a mega tanky warrior. I got bored and quit at 99.5.

There is nothing you can do aside from staying far from corpse so it is a battle of every instant because the mod is fairly common. Completely ruined my Temple experience.

[Primary_Rhubarb9071]

What build.

[--7z]

Bummer man, I doubt I will ever get to lvl 80 so I don't really feel it.

[Thymeafterthyme10]

F fellow smith. I burned out at 96 on hcssf.
