what causes enemies to sometimes do INSANE damage?

(1/3) > >>

flamewolf393:
My most common death is when an enemy will just suddenly do like 10 times the amount of damage it normally does. Like just the last run, I had found a stash of insane items (an assualt shotgun, nyarly's boots, gothic armor, and a supercharge sphere. Feeling like god incarnate now, I go to find something to slaughter. An imp steps out around a corner.... and kills me in one hit. WTF WTF WTF RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGE *table flip*

thelaptop:
Bunch of potential reasons:
* RNG hates you and gives max rolls for all the dice.
* You were too slow, so mobs get to move more than once.
* RNG hates you.
* Another unseen mob nearby does damage to you in addition to the scumbag that just damaged you, killing you.
* RNG hates you.And did I mention that perhaps the RNG hates you?

Xtremekiwi:
Any chance we could see the mortem so we can tell what happened exactly?

There. With its -70% movespeed penalty, it's almost certain that the imp got two hits in - if the imp was really the cause.
If you provide the mortem (especially the "last messages" section), we might be able to see better what exactly happened to you.

Tormuse:
Maybe even three hits.  :|  I've learned to value speed and never wear the Gothic armour.

And of course, we have to consider the possibilty that the RNG hates Flamewolf393, because the RNG hates everyone.  :P
