Having trouble with mobs

[Selwyndor]

Hi All,

Perhaps this is the wrong forum but I have been experiencing a problem today that I don't remember experiencing in the past. I'm a lvl 6 monk (dex build) and have been running Delera's tomb today on normal. My problem is that I am just getting destroyed by mobs and I can't seem to figure out what is going on.

A little more detail:

I have 35 potion buffed AC as a monk at this level. We had an archer pop out of the ground and I hit it once to grab aggro. I then backed off a good distance and let the archer shoot at me while standing still. I let the archer shoot at me 15 times, and all 15 times were hits. I tried this with other mobs too, and it appears that I am getting hit with every swing or arrow no matter what buffs, AC, Dex I have. My reflex saves are +17, my Dex is 26 in wind stance. I'm constantly running with Barkskin +3.

This is extremely frustrating since I've never dealt with being hit like this so much and never had a problem before today. These mobs are not an exceptional level and we're running these instances on Normal. Does anyone have any advice or is anyone experiencing this same issue?

I have no answer but do you have that monk archer avoidance feat that you can get as well?

I am sure there is some to-hit calculation vs AC that someone will post up. I am just not into that game that much to have the info. Good luck!

take OFF any +1 protection or +2 protection items, or pro from evil, and try again.

I do have a +1 protection trinket. I'll take that off and check it out. What are your thoughts?

There was an AC bug that made your AC something like -50,000 if you had a particular combination of items, including low level protection items and/or the protection from evil spell. I think it is being fixed in the next update.

at 35 AC those archers on normal shouldn't be hitting so much, so there is likely something going on.

Alternatively, make sure you are not carrying "medium" encumbrance as that removes your monk wisdom bonus as well as limiting your dex bonus to 3.

Thank you so much for the response. Tested on level 3 mobs and with my +1 protection item I had no problems. As soon as I popped a protection from evil potion on top I was getting hit every hit. Our cleric in group was casting this spell in the instances. He's since removed it from his prepared spell list.

Thank you and +1 rep!

Funny thing, it actually WAS +1 to rep lol.
