I got recently killed in a situation I felt quite confident about.
Attacker was level 25 Assassin.
I had my level 36 Bear with 1300 life, with a Shaeled Ribcracker (30 OIAS from Sigon's) and 2000+ DR and 10% ll
Enemy approaches. I cast Shockwave. Go melee. Enemy hits twice, I score one hit between her strikes. I die from the Assassin's second hit. Now with all the pvp penalties and the fact that the Assassin had no charges up when she attacked, how is it possible for her to get enough damage through to kill me, especially considering I did score one hit and got some like leeched back from that.
Question is: Is there any way she could've pulled it off legitimately?
It bothers me, cause frankly I almost never die to these rubes, (I twink, and not just the end equipment, but everything starting from level 2; except ofcource when I play no-twink chars), and take some pride at my collection of ears of assailants. This sheep usually eats the wolves. :P
(Ramble mode on: just couple days ago I got a very very sweet level 60 barbarian ear with my lvl 45 Elemental Summoner)
Ps. later in town the assassin seemed to be clueless, claiming that my "blue Sorc staff" is a stupid weapon for a druid, and saying I should use Steeldriver. :P
