How does Unstoppable work? (or doesn't it?)

[jenx]

Ok, I'm playing my FIRST ever char with Unstoppable, an adventurer.

Screen goes red, I have several turns of unstoppable, and then I die when it goes off - what am I doing wrong???

Every time this happens

... something strange. What should be happening is you can't be killed while the effect is up (your HP will not drop below 1; can't quite recall what happens if you trigger it when you're already using die_at, but I want to say it just brings you up to 1), and then when it ends you're healed for the amount noted. That's all it does, though; effects will still latch on to you, DoTs will still be applied, etc., etc., etc. If you're not killing during the effect, you're going to end up with 1 HP and quite likely die immediately to some lingering effect. If somehow you've got a +max HP effect that's happening to wear off before you can heal sufficiently... you'll probably die (this actually used to happen to me when I was first using the talent, iirc, since it was on a berserker and Bloodbath was wearing off around the same time... which on a low murder activation, meant I fell over dead at the end), though I'm not 100% sure on that. May have been changed behavior at some point. I am pretty sure (but not entirely, as it's been a while since I've used the talent) if it's stripped from you mid-duration, the heal doesn't trigger (i.e. you're at whatever amount of health you had, probably 1, and are likely going to die), though. It's a freakishly powerful talent, but it's also a pretty risky one.

Now that I think about, what sort of death message is it giving you? That would be your biggest hint as to what exactly is going wrong.

Regular death messages. Such and such hacked you to death etc

But did you kill things while under the effect of unstoppable?

I've played a lot of berserker and I don't think I've ever died coming out of unstoppable

If you used Warmaster Gnarg's Murderblade, you may have died to the same (bug?) I did:

Next time make sure to provide a screenshot of the log when you died, makes it easier to analyze what's going on.
