Now, I know that there are elitists that will always point out the FOTM and if you are not playing that you are wrong attitude. Reading these guides and builds have helped me learn more about the game than anything else so far! The layout is nice, and the writeup is really good at teaching how and why things are chosen. I play Hardcore too, so mind you I always have to mix in a some good defense, or revive passive, etc.įirst of all let me say thank you to Deadset.

I have to laugh but it seems all my first builds I have tried to do are not so good at the upper levels. So I'm brand new to Diablo 3, and only started playing the last week of Season 5. So yes, it's quite possible for you to die while they survive, even if the damage is being shared between you. If you and the ancients are hit by a corpse explosion, almost all the damage they take is what you have passed on to them-which is only 17%-and they take almost no damage directly from the explosion. As I understand it, if the damage is something the players can normally avoid, like arcane beams, then instead of giving the pets AI that's capable of dodging the attacks, they just reduce the damage down to almost nothing. Also, pets take damage differently from players. By the way Deadset I absolutely love your build pages.ĥ0% of the damage you take is divided evenly among the 3 ancients, so each ancient is only getting 17% of the total damage, compared to the 50% you are getting.

And, would assume that all the damage I'm taking isn't being distributed. Am I missing something? The "Together as One" rune is supposed to distribute damage, yes? Playing on 60 GR I have yet to lose a pet, but have died a few times.
