Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls: Hardcore Death Analysis - Rakanishu Bug (RIP Video)

[@Tunobe86]

I've always held off buying D3, but you convinced me to get it, and I LOVE IT. Awesome change of pace from PoE. Quality work as always, ZiggyD!

[@MoistOwlette]

To all the people complaining about "This isn't a one shot", Regardless of what happened, Ziggy has gone through ALOT of analysis in this video to try and explain what killed him. You see the relatively small damage Raka does throughout the video. Then the Almighty explosion, you have the Nova and sparks from hitting him. Nothing else really jumps out as to why he was killed. in Hindsight.. yeah maybe he should of Potted but if you're an experienced player as Ziggy is and see that little of damage being thrown at you it's hardly worth worrying about. Now we all have a learning experience. ;D

[@PvtGrifRED]

Ziggy, you are prob. one of my favorite youtubers.

[@akaiappears]

Thank you for the video Ziggy!;) Always learning something new^^

[@Dekree18]

If he entered you BODY without your permission that's rape.

[@angelic8632002]

And this is why i don't play in hardcore. To many unpredictable elements. And i can't deal with the frustration.

[@Stealthjudge]

Now that's what I call detective work. Felt like I was watching CSI.

[@Plerion]

It took you a while to get to the point, but thanks for the video!

[@Alopapsch]

Hey, One other theory I will test soon is maybe he gets bonus damage from getting hit by lightning damage or something like that. Like in Act V I had a Unique mob stating "Immune to Fire" maybe Rakanishu (or here his Avatar) has some hidden lightning damage affix

[@Laskaris_]

All but one projectile hit you, I'm going to keep this in mind when playing my HC monk.

[@chompers1337]

As a few people have said, fairly certain he's bugged. I nearly bit the dust on this guy the other day, despite completely outgearing the difficulty (was running through on hard but can run Torment easy). At one point my life went from 100% to what I thought was dead before my templar instantly healed me up. Reading the forums a lot of people saying it's bugged. What I learnt: 1) never do rakanishu bounty 2) templar > all.

[@craigboyes7460]

Note to self: dont let Rakanishu enter my body

[@ZiggyDGaming]

A good motto for life in general I think

[@Broskadamus]

"Rakanishu entered my body" that is unfortunate to say the least.

[@Benn7550]

Clearly you got triple shock stacked from the sparks

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Path of Diablo: Reaper of Exiles

[@yanmew]

ZiggyD Gaming Kuduku

[@nongwinNO]

"He entered my body, discharged.." LOL, can't breathe

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Someone else attempted to replicate the bug and got some pretty good footage of it in action! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX2vl2Bngcl-Z6M

[@chingyaochang4341]

where is this boss ?

[@iblis89]

it is not a bug, you used cyclone strike which puts him in your hitbox area, he procs lighning nova at which point all bolts hit you because of your proximity due to cyclone strike.

[@noahyoung4445]

iblis89 yea your right this isnt a bug at all he just used cyclone strike at the wrong time

[@Flawi]

Interesting, didn't think Cyclone Strike could do that. If you want to reproduce this easily, get a barbarian to whirlwind into a mob with the same spark reflect skill as Rakanishu, WW allows you to go "inside" mobs. The amount of damage you take is absurd since you'll be eating every single spark.

[@TheRevScorp]

Well done, great breakdown. Is this a broken mechanic? Could Blizzard fix this or is it just player beware?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah it's definitely a bug, the skill is not designed to shotgun. Whether they can fix it though is a different question as it's very difficult to avoid clipping issues with movement skills.

[@LokirofRoriksted]

He's bugged... that little lightning that comes out when he's around 50% health 1 shot me everytime. Monk 8mi toughness 800k dps

[@metaminerx]

u need more toughness go for 80 million

[@xXkkwkingXx]

metaminerx 80 mill ? umad?

[@helpmycatsonfire]

When will you be back to PoE?

[@GhudaTramp]

people were so hostile :S this is 2.0. The whole point of this patch was 1 - 2 shotting isn't a thing anymore since I don't think any class can sustain that to my knowledge :S So yeah if there's a creature going against the way its supposed to be played it's defiantly needs fixing. Especially the melee classes which need to be that close :P if you can't even melee whats point of using that class? :S Anywho great vid :)

[@Vepar90]

Are u gonna have his lightning Babies? Since he did a Lightning Discharge in your body? or were u using Protection?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Unfortunately my lightning was not resist :(

[@kitelime66]

RIP in peace brave soul.

[@bloodytea]

Could you have it noted which difficulty you were playing when this stuff happens?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Hard. Though I think it probably would have killed me anyway.

[@Maxiclone]

When I first saw the death I thought it was like how Vaal Fireball oneshots bosses when you explode it inside them. Same idea basically.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I was thinking of exactly that too when I was explaining the entity clipping on projectile attacks!

[@Ghork1]

i had a rip in PoE against the invasion boss version of the one in imperial gardens who does a circle of incinerate, leap slapped on top of him and RIP ate all the incinerates, think they changed that those kind of projectiles cant do more than 1 hit though now to nerf vaal fireball trap

[@SangoProductions213]

not to self: don't eat projectiles, catch them

[@itsdeeboard]

Rakanishu: Zero fucks given...just discharge inside of you.. \o/

[@ComeToJesus]

Your body was not ready.

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

Those shock stacks are lethal lol.

[@realVertiqo]

Aaaaand thats why i wanted a COMBAT LOG in D3 so badly and still want one in PoE!

[@Monkestful]

Lesson learned: DO NOT LET ENEMIES INTO MY BODY

[@PGMP2007]

Thats why Frozen orb is so broken atm, if you use it properly.

[@coltongag]

Quite a shocking discovery

[@Domebuddy]

This just happened to my crusader HC, I landed on top of him and just died. 80% to 0

[@toobeetoobeetoo]

I am still pissed off that a largely single player game suffers from bugs that are server client based. Granted its a cherry picked argument and all kinds of different bugs happen in all kinds of games. But it still pisses me off.

[@Quiestre]

clearly desync Kappa

[@YoungFree213]

been working on my crusader thisisg#1176, pretty amazing if i do say so

[@guisasse]

Offline Mode with chat feature. Someone need to create this technology.

[@HarryHardyy]

Rakanishu enter my Body Kreygasm

[@MrNobodyAid]

So you say he entered you and shot white electrifying stuff and you died ? :-D

[@jochenwuerfel]

Had this bug today too.. 1hit and 10k life were gone - luckily no HC :)

[@SuperBearsFan85]

Desynclone Strike strikes again...

[@dylanross624]

are you going to keep playing PoE?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah, of course! Will start playing some more later this week likely.

[@1tothe2and3]

"nothing else could have killed me" LOL ...

[@ZiggyDGaming]

What else in the situation do you think could have been the thing that could have killed me? There was no other mobs in the area.

[@Giamby986]

Can this be read as direct consequence of you invoking and praying the RNG gods in the previous video? If so Rakanishu has got to you to take the toll, i guess, all makes sense... they weren't satisfied with selling only 3 legendary ;)

[@jakubp8910]

thx . i will watch on him ;d

[@gearsofwill9]

the problem with hardcore in this game is there is no real reason to re roll your char because you can do it at any time. So the only reason to re roll is to just play hc.

[@ZsemleRaiser]

i almost died to him with my barb and i was at melee range, so i think he just has an attack that deals 50%. didn't see any lightning either

[@ZsemleRaiser]

or some type of reflect

[@zaggedout]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKANISHUU

[@fahro62]

i have simple explanation for your dead.when you offer your soul,for 1 socket,Kuduku send Rakanishu to take it,,don't mess with your soul bro :)

[@niten_21]

he entered your body... jesus! and he exploted you! jesus x2

[@cletch2]

damn man, RIP ^^ happily u were only 20 that would have been waaaaay worst with an opti character :D

[@TheViolander]

Sorry Ziggy, but how is this a 1 shot? You were half health.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

It would have been a 1 shot regardless of my health, ~12 projectiles all hit at once.

[@KingAmazon]

ZiggyD Gaming I'm not sure that you can really say for sure that you would have been 1 shot regardless of your health. Your potion was on cooldown, and it may or may not have saved you. Not saying you did anything wrong though, this was clearly a pretty hard thing to anticipate, and you had no reason to believe he would deal so much damage at once.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Mike B I base my one shot warning on the measurement of the amount of damage my ally took from one projectile of the lightning nova and then multiplying it by the number of projectiles. You can see what im talking about in this image: i.imgur.com/PjhoGh5.jpg There's actually 14 projectiles and the WD took about 15-20% of his life from one. Now he wasn't as tanky as I was but 14 total projectiles shotgunning due to a clipping bug times even at 10% life per hit (assuming I am that much tankier) is more than a one shot at full life.

[@tempo1072]

CSI: Diablo

[@jayxc125]

rakinushu from d2 ! :D

[@sarinhighwind]

Wow, what luck.

[@beardedshadow]

Da f**k, is right.

[@croszdrop1]

#1 why the fuck didn't you have your invincibility? lol

[@eclap78]

who dies on "hard" at lvl 22? seriously?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Blizz released some data a while back that said the majority of HC deaths occur in Act 1 normal. I died to Hillock in a race once. It happens!

[@Gramald]

rofl , can only be that i agree. He hit will all possible parts of the nova. hahahaha merphis lov! WHat can go wrong will go wrong!

[@Y3GA]

holy shit.. just get to the point..

[@frughd]

you were half life... so... not really a 1shot

[@mistajerka5221]

A 1-shot is When u die from only one blow that does enough damage to kill u the health amount doesn't matter

[@Hopesedge]

Mista Jerka saying that means that anything that causes you to die is a one-shot. If someone sprays you with 30 bullets and you die then that must be a one-shot since "one blow did enough damage to kill you regardless of the health". One-shot means ONE shot... one hit to kill you from full hp to 0.

[@EmmittJ_]

No views!

[@MGSeries]

How can people die on Diablo 3 xD its impossible. Play normal on HC if u dont want to die. This is not PoE at the end.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Hard was more fun to play. I'm not disappointed by deaths, I find them interesting and part of the allure of HC. And this would likely have killed me in normal anyway ;)

[@MGSeries]

ZiggyD Gaming At least you are having fun. I would like to try D3 RoS but... if only it was free. Having the amazing expansions in PoE for free i dont feel getting this exp.

[@jirifuschlberger5513]
