Please explain me how i am supposed to deal with this.

I love these "how did this happen?" threads. Theorycrafting is fun.

I can understand 3k Fireball where you mitigate, i don't know, 1k? But it says he mitigated 2.7k, which makes me think he wasn't Ele debuffed. Zero toughness maybe? Or is that the usual mitigation number for a 3k Fireball? I admit I haven't really checked my combat log.

Yeah neither do I. I've fireballed squishies for at least 2.2-2.3k and my BW is about the same gear-wise as the BW being shown (45 rr, full spec merc, no BL, green jewelry, officer tier sc weapon) compared to my 45rr, full anni, 3pc BL, officer tier weapon.

Why it is so difficult to turn on time stamps in combat log? Like 9/10 posting combat logs have it turned off. Would making anything combat related easier to judge.

His mitigated was 46.8% of the damage so there has to be some type of debuff or buff in there.

A general consensus is that Magus isn't really in a good place right now, and hardly playable competitively (that being said, play whatever you like and ignore what most people talk about).

Despite that fact, you got hit pretty hard. It was probably a max-gauged Bright Wizard that was bumping off crits, which is how the class is intended to be played, pretty much. They're pretty deadly when they aren't CC'd or nuked down, but they go down as fast as they put down enemies.

There isn't much you can do to stop them in terms of gear, your defenses seem okay. Your only chance is to rely on teammates to lock them up/draw attention away from you, or try to nuke them down yourself first (Magus isn't really a nuker, though).


Big Note Here: I see in your combat log you got crit 4 times in a row. Make sure you pick up the RR passive to reduce your chance to be crit. 4 times in a row is either really unlucky, or you aren't built for anti-crit, which is pretty necessary in PvP.

Not really. Isn't the resist cap 40%?

As has been said, 3k Fireball is not weird at all. What I have trouble comprehending is the "mitigated damage" part; 2.7k seems like a lot (5.7k damage total).

[Raefar]

I honestly would increase your toughness, I have 400 toughness, 400 initi on mine and it works wonders

Could you have been near an enemy warcamp? Was this in an sc or in TM?

[Ourihill88]

Mitigation was bugged i think , i didn't mitigated anything.. or maybe it was shown this way coz i died and it was overdmg. Not sure tho. I was in SC.

Resist is applied then it hits his toughness.
