Here's an example of the problem as I see it. Doing an ITF, I have 955 HP. A Minotaur hits me with his Whirling Axe, the pets absorb some of the first hit, doing 300 DMG. Next hit does 900 DMG and kills me. All of my pets were still alive, and this happened back-to-back, so positioning was the same. Same skill, and a lvl difference of say 1 or 2 wouldn't make up for that large of a difference in damage. While the numbers aren't accurate, that's an example of what I have seen - one hit gets split, which would have been a one-hit-protection hit, the second kills me, even though I have most of my life, and my pets are alive. I've also been noticing similar behavior elsewhere - it seems like, basically, if you take a hit that would kill you, it does it, without having a chance to be split between pets. That's a large part of the survival of a MM, or can be, and essentially cuts their health down BIG TIME when confronted with possible large numbers. Can anyone confirm this to be true or false? |
