Oneshot from boss in Test of Cunning (lvl 60)


It seems I got one shot in this fight, although my shield has not moved and I have barely lost any Honour.
Even if I got hit, I believe a lvl 60 scorpion shouldn't go throguh 8.1k ES?

Could it be that the bosses damage somehow did damage to my life instead of ES - similar as if you had the Heavy Buffer Notable allocated (which I don't)?

Sucks to have to run trial again now which I'll probably just skip.

any chance you had Hungry Fangs affliction?

Poison will bypass ES
@IILU81II#8410 I believe that was it - thanks for pointing this out. However, it still feels like a bug or at least extremely unpolished if a mod like this bricks your run - technically I would see it as 0,03 damage on your 1 life -> 0,97 life -> insta regen or ideally no damage at all (same as with the notable which to me and apparently others on Reddit is also very unintuitiv in that it will insta-kill your CI character).

HP, mana and energy shield dont take in account decimals afaik.
With CI you are alive with 1 or dead with different than 1, below decimals too. that would make you somehow partially immune to the affliction as well, not a bug im afraid.
The other notable is heavy buffer?
