So is it inteded for disintegration to hit me for more hitpoints that I even have?

Look I get that you want to make these things difficult but this is just unfair.

Anti-Matter's Disintegration of your body deals 1895.08 points of damage.

My hitpoint cap on my sr scrapper is 1807 That's hitting me for 88 more hitpoints that I even have and I have the accolades and +hitpoint set bonuses. Even with having all of those emps healing me and regen powers on me none of it mattered since it ticked for more health that I can possibly even have. How do you expect me to even survive that? How about adjusting this and making it tick more often but not so high.

If you want to make these things difficult then feel free but adding instant death mechanics like this are not fun.

I have noticed Disintegration completely, you know, disintegrating weaker ATs in one hit. Kinda unfair if you ask me, since AntiMatter gets 20% HP from disintegrate-ees.

I forget the exact amount of damage involved but I'm pretty sure if you are next to one of the fire buildings in Steel Canyon when it blows up it'll do like 5,000 HPs of damage to any AT. *shrugs*

I agree that a game like this should not have too many "one-shot-kill" scenarios because it would become annoying after a while. That's pretty much why the Devs added the one-shot code to handle most of those situations. But I actually don't mind the idea that there are would be at least a few things that could insta-kill us like this. This game, for the most part, is relatively easy to play - the idea that there are a few things out there that can kill anyone instantly makes it more challenging and interesting.

Encounters like this are supposed to be among the hardest in the game.
I see little reason to be too upset about the cheesy tactics they use.

the final tick is doing -99% of your hp so if your not at full hp before that tick then almost guarenteed your gonna die

there are 4 ticks total to disintegration and there are 6 seconds between each tick, so as long as your healed to full hp before the ticks hit you will be fine

I suspect you're running into a bug of some kind, probably one that hits you for 99% of your uncapped hit points by mistake.

I'm trying not to sound like a complainer here but why must such a power be so unforgiving?

For me this is the only thing I don't like about this trial. No bit of tactics on my own part can prevent me from being hit by it, short of not attending the trial or not fighting in the final phase of the trial. Surely there is a much more reasonable yet still difficult adjustment that can be made to this power.

I propose to make it tick more and more often but for less health. A really quick high damage dot similar to that of burn but much higher.

The tactics to beat it involve cohesive teamwork, just as it's designed to. When I've been on good KIR teams healers were on top of Disint targets before they had a chance to call out for an assist. Eventually even PuGs will get the hang of this.

Debt is not something I even care about. But dying from something that I can't even do a thing about just pisses me off. Being killed by a single attack where none of my own tools or powers can save me just because I'm missing a little bit of health just isn't fun to me. And makes me feel like I'm playing the common rpg and not a superhero mmo.

Slightly offtopic: Being killed in 1 attack like this is a major turn off for me. Too many other games have it, our pvp system has it (along with many other new problems with the current system)

I think someone here already answered the question for this thread. I had heard others complain about this power before and didn't know what it really was until it hit me and so far it kills me everytime it hits me at some point during its ticks.

For the record we do use a macro and when I get hit by it I make sure im out of entanglement range and I simply jump up and down why using the macro hoping the people with healing will see me easier. It seems to work too but I still end up dying from it.

Without Disintegration, Anti-Matter's a complete pushover. Obliteration Beam is too slow and weak to kill a league and his own regular attacks aren't up to snuff. It's literally the only thing that can enable him to win the fight. Of course it's going to be incredibly dangerous.

But regardless, it's not infallible.

the only problem i have with it is that it could disqualify your entire league for a badge since there is a badge in the final fight for nobody getting killed

I have survived many disintegrates thank to Respites. I consider them them within my own power. I did have one trial where I got hit by disintegrate 3 times. I had run out of respites, I imagine that will be a rare circumstance, but in that situation, you are totally relying on outside help (barring having your own heals, of course). Either way, I really like the disintegrate mechanic as it exists, although I might still want an easier way to target an ally who is being disintegrated.

Quick question, was anyone on your trial using the rebirth +hp T4? Because that provides about 5% perma additional HP, which could be the difference your experiencing. Lemme do some quick math here and find out:

1895.08 is about 104% higher then your normally capped hp of 1807, so in order for that last tick to really be about 99% of your hp, you had to have about 5% more HP then you normally have, or about 90.35 more HP. If in the event you had that additional hp, putting your total at 1897.35, then the 1895.08 damage would be exactly 99.8% of your HP.

Granted, you probably have slightly more then 1807 hp, but not quite 1808 hp, so the decimals may be off slightly, but that could explain the issue your having. Someone popped a t4 +HP rebirth, and gave you an additional 5% HP.

As others pointed out (and for some reason is being ignored by some) there MIGHT be a bug related to this, that's it not working the way it's supposed to. Until that can be confirmed or de-confirmed there's no point arguing about whether this is working as intended for a trial of 12-24 people. It may very well NOT be doing what it's supposed to.
