Is there any way to reduce the damage that the traps in the ascendancy trials and labyrinth do? Just touching them makes my health melt away in seconds, which means a single lag spike can cause death. I've been using lightning warp to skip some of the traps but that's not always possible.

If you're a pure life based character then just grab a good couple of life flasks and a quicksilver flask and just run through the traps as fast as you can, not even kidding. The faster, the better. You'll be surprised at how much less scary they'll seem.

If you're lowlife, it still calculates the damage based on your combined ES and Life before any removal or stepdown functions affect it. So that 2.5k life you have reserved down to <600 is making you take a tonne more damage to your ES. If I were a betting man I'd say that this is also the reason why CI characters get buttfucked so hard by traps, effects that consider the max HP of a player using CI calculate your max health BEFORE CI takes effect. So those CI characters with 5-6k ES and being hit as if they had 6K es and ~1.5-2.5k HP. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Mar 20, 2016 |

just pay attention and figure out how to get through it all without taking any damage, it's really not hard, and generally isn't slow at all. most traps have a really short cycle time. it's the burning floors and like one spinning spike pole set up that end up taking forever to cycle, those are the ones i really hate

You can run through most stuff if you're fast enough, however some of those skeletal mobs in the gold key zones can curse you vulnerability, and that makes sawblade/spinning totem traps extraordinarily lethal. At least the spike traps are (generally) pretty slow to trigger.

I'd love to be able to do that except when you can only see half of the guantlet on your screen and there's no 'resting' zone in the middle. I've been farming merc izaro for most of the league so it's not like I can't do it relatively reliably. But sometimes I get seriously screwed and having LW as my mobility skill doesn't help, because sometimes you can't sit and wait for .5s more of damage. It's just obviously harder than it is for my husband's EQ character and it annoys the poo poo out of me when people say this.

generally speaking, if you can't see the "whole gauntlet" you can either run through the whole thing non stop if you start at the right point in the cycle, or their will be safe places to wait, if you keep a look out for them. in fact, i cannot think of any times that one of these two things aren't true.

Also, when quicksilvering through traps, try to time it so that the blades are moving in the opposite direction that you are, to minimise the time your hitbox spends on top of the damage entity.

I'm clearly worse at it than you because there has been a couple times for me when it has been impossible for me to not take any damage at all even with good timing. Most of the times when it hasn't been true for me is when there has been tightly spaced fast darts. Considering how much damage the darts do to me and the slow... I do tend to panic a bit in those situations where I can't see a way out and just have to hope that I can move fast enough while slowed to hell to dodge things. I do think that with my current 22% movement speed, things are a lot easier in general than before I got my rainbowstrides and lori's lantern. I do despise this sort of attitude though. Is it so hard for you to believe that some people find it hard and are worse at this type of thing than you are? Saying 'just pay attention' is incredibly condescending. People haven't said it's impossible or to nerf it or anything like that. They've just been bitching about it being unfairly hard for hybrid/low life/CI characters.

Darts slow movement speed, but I can still whirl around perfectly well. The problem is that whirling is very imprecise especially when paired with ground traps. If I had a high cast speed character with no duration nodes, I'd lightning warp over all the traps, from safe spot to safe spot.

Yeah I'm lightning warp with +skill duration nodes cause ED. LW is very stupid when there are 'rest stops' (although I got killed once LW'ing on a trap you can't see cause it was in the dark that set off 5+ darts, lol...). On the other hand, the duration makes it really lovely as an oh-poo poo button or to even be able to time a jump while running the guantlet like you can with leap slam or WB. I've been thinking about changing to leap slam (can't whirling blades since I use a staff) or just putting whirling blades on my off set. Idk, it hasn't been a big problem for me so I haven't played with it much yet. (I run merc lab probably 5-10 times a day for almost 2 weeks now depending on how fast the layout is, it takes me maybe 10-15min and I've died three times mostly when I was learning in the beginning.) It's fine, my husband didn't get why I hated darts in combination with sawblades or whirling poles either because it takes off like 8% of his health which he regens in a second while leap slamming anyways.

Whirling seems to avoid most of the damage if the trap is going straight towards you. The deadliest traps for me are the chainsaw roombas, they can be unpredictable and have a giant hitbox, especially the flying ones, died more times to roombas then any other trap. Also this game wasn't well designed for precision movement, I always hold down the mouse button to constantly be moving and it's hard to break that habit. On another note, trying to figure out how much block applies to spellblock % I'd need to max it with 75% block and 35% spellblock base, can anyone help me math more good and tell me what formula to use to calculate how much % I'd need? with 45% it's too little, 67% it's too much and I'm just not sure of the exact amount I'd need to cap spellblock.

Should be just over 53 percent. You need 40% from your 75%, so you figure out what % of 75 is 40.

After way too much time in the Labyrinth (either died early, lagged out, or ran out of memory just before the final boss room  ) I made my pacifistic summoning witch a necromancer and snagged a shitton of rares and a few uniques (including a nearly-maxed Facebreaker  ) from it. I probably should've given the skull to the Facebreaker instead of my current gloves, since "Word of the Tempest on hit" is not nearly as exciting when my witch never swings her weapon.Perandus is an...interesting league, that was for sure. On my HC Scion, the first Perandus pack I found was chilling out with Fire Fury.  I don't know how I survived that, but the jingling of coins is the second sweetest sound in the game. Speaking of the scion, I don't know what to make her as in HC. Any suggestions for a lovely player without a sugar daddy stash of twink gear?
