My 1200-hp barb can't open a door if he gets hit for 6 pts of acid damage...

[mobrien316]

I'd like to see "interruptions" happen only when the DoT damage (or incoming arrow damage) is a considerable part of your health. Or maybe with an appropriate check of some kind. If a 1st level character with 30 hp gets hit for 6 points of damage, I can see why that might interrupt them from opening a door or pulling a lever (I think they would still be able to, but at least it sort of makes sense if they can't). When an epic level character with 1200 hp gets hit for 6 points of damage, I doubt they'd even notice, must less be so distracted by it that they could no longer do mundane tasks such as opening a door or pulling a lever.

Perhaps if the damage is more than 25% of your total remaining health, you have to pass a CON check or make a FORT save or something like that.

I thinl a concentration check vs thevdamage take would be enough to take the annoyance off.

i dont think this needs to be changed.

theres ways to deal with this kind of issue, i dont think the game needs to get anymore braindeadroflstompggkkthxbai.

Even worse if i have 10,000 hitpoints going on and i get hit for 2 points of damage...

[EllisDee37]

No, the absolute worst is when it only takes away temporary hit points but still stops you. Somewhat recently I was left with a dot after killing something, which repeatedly prevented me from opening a chest. So I cast cocoon, figuring it would hurt the temp hit points but not me, but nope. Still couldn't open the chest until the dot went away.

Induction bars should have both concentration checks and be auto-pass if you only lose temp hit points.

Hi,

I'd like to see some form of check allowed too.

Concentration makes sense to some extent, but it would favour casters and high CON builds and be mostly useless to others. It also would become progressively less useful in higher level, higher difficulty quests.

There are some objects, like certain rune wheels, which when you use them you can't be interrupted. Maybe the solution is to standardise how these objects work by removing the induction bar from, or greatly shortening it for, all objects other than chests. For chests keeping it as it is might be better because there are occasions where having some time to cancel an opening action is useful.

Thanks.

The number of your hp shouldn't matter it's like slapping your hand away

[Deadlock]

Puny barbarian with only 1200 hp.

[Gauthaag]

the concentration check is what is used in PnP.

Heh, but last time I suggested this here I got heavy beating cause mine suggestion was "good only for zerging and soloing"

[01000010]

duh, reroll

[01000010]

kidding kidding, you may already know this and are just posting because its stupid regardless, but use some dr, stoneskin works if you can put that on somehow when that dot is procing, no more interrupts.

That stops bleed damage, but not acid damage.

[01000010]

Did i miss him saying acid, kinda glossed over.

Anyhow, couple ways to stop the acid damage too, acid prot, absorption, etc.

But yeah, regardless its kinda stupid, i guess barbs dont like pain?

[Knight_slayer]

Imagine the zergfest if you could go through dungeons completing objectives like opening doors, pulling levers etc while under fire. No reason to fight any trash in many quests if that were the case.

Light is the most annoying DoT, since there is limited protection against that.

The lessening in usefulness would be because of higher damage, which WOULD interrupt someone, so it would be just fine by me. After all, the force of a blow (or whatever) is not less even if you have more hp.

[morkahn82]

you get interrupted if you get damage (damage > 0). that is a much better threshold than you get interrupted if you get x points of damage. who decides the number? is the number dependent on the level of the adventure? on class? We need to fine-tune the number to other factors? It is good as it is and needs no change imho. with the usual tricks like blur, dodge, displacement, resistancies, getting out of line of sight from enemy, this was never an issue to me.

this.

I add that the change would be in big contrast to many players that ask for making the game harder.

as much sense as this makes, i dont see turbine incorporating this change even if 100% of the server asked for it

[SirValentine]

Yes, that's exactly what it should be. "You must make a Concentration check whenever you might potentially be distracted (by taking damage, by harsh weather, and so on) while engaged in some action that requires your full attention"

DC 10 + damage dealt. Your 1200-HP Barb should be able to make a DC 16 Concentration check.

[wraxzz]

doesnt everone thats FOR concentration checks realize that if that ever became the case, your gearset or skills will have to make up for a new addition? Like there are ever enough skill points.
