Soul Transfusion Death??

ajerbajah

I was attacking just a normal everyday mob one time just minding my own business and my MP got pretty low. It was under 50 so I used Soul Transfusion to get some more back and suddenly I was dead. There were no other mobs around and I did not have aggro. The only explanation I could think of is that my MP was so low that using the skill killed me. Anybody have any thoughts?

If your mana was at 0, perhaps. I never let my mana get that low (I usually flip at about 20-25%), so I can't speak from experience. Also, if there was any kind of DoT on you, such as poison or bleed, that would have done it.

Hmm.. should test that out sometime I'm not planning on getting to 90 anytime soon anyway xD

You should've checked your damage log btw... it shows you the damage you do and receive, it usually clears up a lot. Also if you're on a pvp server that could explain a lot. I once got "shot" in cube and had no idea what hit me because I didn't see anything. Checked my log and seems I was pk-ed. b:chuckle

i soul transfuse at zero MP every now and then --- basically, whenever i think it safe to run myself completely out of mana and so don't much care to watch that blue bar. so far, the channeling+casting time of soul transfuse is always enough for my MP pool to refill by a tick or two, and i end up with a slight bit of HP post-switch thanks to that.

mind, i'm not sure what might happen if --- say --- one tried that while under a mana-drain debuff, for instance. and/or a bleed, as noted.

I am sure I didn't have any DoT effects on me and hadn't taken any previous damage but I didn't check the damage log...probably would've helped lol. Wasn't PvP though I'm on a PvE server

thats weird. i have a HP charm so i cant test it out with the 0 mana thing

but a way to prevent it, is if you use Nature's Grace first (MP skill) transfer, then use Metabolic Boost (HP skill) to recover the rest of your HP. thats what i do (with both skills maxed) so when i switch it does not tick my charm. only downside is that you can only do it every 5 mins XD

I usually use that method but Nature's Grace was in cooldown so I figured I'd just tick my charm...unfortunately it didn't work out quite as planned b:beatup

doesn't work .__.
mp regen rate is too fast~
And when I got my mp finally to like 7, soul transfuse wouldn't work although it doesn't say there's a MP requirement >:O

anyone can tell me a specifix mob that does only mana drain on range and no poison and such? I want to try out if something happens with manadrain o:

when you have low mp regen, and u switch, u do die.

Rasis - Lost City

In my 3 years as a veno, that has never happened to me and I even think it's near impossible to die like that. The reason I think so it's because even if i have exactly 0 mp, which would be hard to get too, by the time I press the right button and the switch is over I would have recovered at least 1 mp, even if I was in combat mode.

Nevertheless, the times I have carelessly used soul transfusion with very low mp, and then getting hit by an aoe or mob to cause my death, have been many. b:pleased

Still looking for a mob that does only manadrain on range b:surrender
far as I know the mobs in fb39 that do manadrain also do poison attack .-. (if I'm not mistaken)

Someone could PVP another veno and have Malefic Crush used by the other to test manadrain/soul transfusion death.

your mp regen is too fast >.>
theres a few genie moves that have mp drain.. malfic crush too.. umm that wizzy move i forgot what's it called i think it was Skill
Elemental Invocation .. hmm there's a lot :P
I wouldn't try it on a mob tho.. <_<
cause when you get near to 0, you soul trans.. and well it kills you xD

Waterfal - Sanctuary

Hmm.. malefic crush in pvp would be a good idea yeh

and I dun care to try it on mobs.. I'm at 0% atm and don't plan on lvling anyway untill I got my TT90 gear farmed ^^

The only time I've ever died immediately after a transfusion, was when I stupidly did it with poison on me, rofl.
