A really annoying bug?

So I am playing with my level 14 Ele/ Monk with a team of 5 other henchmen in Traveler's vail when we are attacked by those stupid centaur looking things. Before all these updates, I would whip them one handed. Now all of a sudden ONE of those things can kill me with ONE hit. ONE. And then when everything is said and done and there are no enemies around to kill me with one hit, Alesia resurrects me and BOOM! Out of nowhere I DROP DEAD again. And again. And again. Once I sat there and watched as I was resurrected and then died about 20 times without my penalty going down AT ALL.

WTF?!?!?!?

Using any superior runes?

Yes, actually...

Then that's why.

...how do I get em off? I mean.. why would that make me die?

check how much HP you have...

Had any DP? Level 14 mage with 60% DP and a Superior rune = Insta kill.

What is DP and HP? Can I remove runes? If so, how would I go about doing such things? For now I am just going to get different clothes.

DP = Death penalty
Everytime you die you get 10% DP, thus you get 10% less max health and energy.

HP = Health or hit points
Indicates how many health you have, and the more health, the more hits you can take (in normal conditions)

Removal of runes:
Not possible, BUT you CAN use a MINOR rune, it WILL REPLACE the superior rune, but you will have some more health


You die because you have 60DP, which means you have 60% less max health.
Now you say: if i have 60% less hp, i shouldn't have 1 max hp.
This comes because your NORMAL max hp is going down by 60% and THEN the rune will distract 75 of it. Making you die when ressed.
