After some recent promotions I noticed that I was no longer getting one-hit killed versus Demon Commander on my mage characters.

 

After some (probably flawed) thinking, my hypothesis is that it is related to the amount of +Willpower and Magic Defense that I now have.  At level 1 though, it seems the only thing that has changed significantly since near launch when I was a rag doll toy for the Demon Commander, is the amount of Willpower/Magic Defense.

 

 

Willpower total: 48 @ level 1  (maybe slightly more for unknown +Willpower for the class itself)

 

Promotions:  10 +  13 promotions for 23

 

Sorceror's Staff: +25 Willpower

 

Armor and Accessories do not currently have any +Willpower, but the Armor does have +7% Magic Defense (2 native, 5 from upgrade slot)

 

So, based on info I have seen on here that would mean my Magic Defense is increased by +24% (48 * 0.5 per Willpower) and +7% from the armor... 31% reduced magic damage.

 

 

Last night I promoted and got lucky that my first match, Routine, was vs Demons on the Necromancer so I could try to isolate any chance passives or +stats while leveling, or other aspects of leveling were affecting the one-hit kill nature of his ground attack.

 

Two times, with full health and no barrier I was hit by Demon Commander's ground attack and left with maybe 15-20% hp.  A few weeks ago I am certain that even on higher level mages this was a one-hit kill.

 

So, the point of this 'too long for the internet' post...  are others that have gotten pretty significant (>30% of Magic Defense) noticing that Demon Commander is not as terrifying if you lose track of him and get hit since he doesn't insta-gib you when he pops out of the ground?

 

Or other ideas of what might be leading to my higher survival chance versus that attack when I fail to actually dodge out of it?

 

Random other stuff people might ask:

Armor on the Necromancer is the Mortalitisi (Soulbinder)  83 armor

Warrior promotions are at 3, so only +15 hp from that.

Other armor stat is +14% fire resist, but I don't think Demon Commander uses fire so I have discounted that (for now)

One little flaw, the magic defense of Willpower only comes into play after 10 Willpower (I think), so it would be 19% magic defense from Willpower. Aside from that it's also possible that other classes their bonuses and buffs improved your survival rate.

Its possible on routine i guess.

On perilous his ground pop out attack hits me for about 1750. I have like 25 willpower. 10 base + 5 promotes + 10 purple necklace.

I am pretty sure the Demon Commander's pop-up attack is non-elemental / physical / not magic. All attacks are color coded, and his is red, unlike the yellow spirit damage, orange fire, blue electric, and

 

I don't get OHKO'ed on perilous if I have full health and / or some guard (or barrier), but I have a lot of health, and try to sprint / jump him as much as possible. That does help reduce damage even if not outright successful. He typically hits me for under 1k.

 

I have a lot of constitution promotes / upgrades though. It is easily over +50 consititution over base. Just play templar on perilous all the time, learn from the demon commander strategy thread and you'll get way too many warrior promotes very fast.
