Playing infernalist. Only character that I have doing maps. Was doing early maps (3-4) but a level 8 one dropped. So figured... what the hell. Maps at 4 are easy, figured I'd try. Have about 1.5k life and 2k ish ES. Resists only at 65-70ish. So not well geared.
Map didn't have any big modifiers. Just some +gold, monster rarity and I think monster HP. Was a boss node with a breach.
Noticed no difference on the map from a lower level one. Mobs died as fast, rares all fell down. Figured I might die to some boss mechanic since I figured they would do a lot of damage and was prepared for that. However, considering how well it was going I was starting to think that maybe I could just skip lower level maps now and start doing at least 6-7+.
Oh there is the breach.... Cleared all around it. Clicked breach. The circle started to open, first mob that I saw I think was just a regular guy. Then a tentacle or somesuch came out from him and ever so gently touched me. Went from full life to splat. I could see the tentacle going out too, not fast. Just .... touch, instant death. Shield or HP didn't have a visual drain. They were just from full to not there.
No epic boss mechanic... Just a regular mob did a gentle "boop on the snoot".
So... Not ready, need way more ES. Hard though to find upgrades for ES + resists that also have spirit.
