I'm pretty sure spirit vessel is not working right in greater rifts. I died without it popping. And this is not the first time. It happened to me on ptr but I thought it was a fluke. maybe there is a bug or something? I was a pretty high ranked doc. 5th for a while on seasons in grifts. Anyone else experience this. Just a warning to my fellow hc docs
Used to happen to me in the original inferno on release.
I think If you take so much damage that the vessel would break, it just outright kills you, which is an odd mechanic - you would think whatever damage you take triggers vessel and then you'd need to get hit again.
Out of curiosity in your situation was there any kind of ground effect or damage over time? I'm wondering if the vessel didn't trigger and then also instantly die, and then you as well.
Nope I died from the frozen explosion. And I had ice climbers on too. I'm not really sure what was going on with it. It's never happened to me outside a greater rift. But twice now in greater rifts if you include ptr.
No that's not what happened. It was one frozen blast that hit me. I wasn't super over my gear limit. I've completed lvl 22 rifts just not in time. It was literally one frozen blast that hit me while I was running away and my spirit vessel did not proc. I just died. No crazy damage and nothing to hit me out of spirit walk. Just instant death
