I'm curios of what's the best way to deal with the bone fetishes I'm currently level 73 in hell on my first decent hardcore Hammerdin and when they die they chunk almost half my health curious if theirs a way to negate the damage, I have maxed resists Thanks in advance. This is all I could find on the bastards https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Bone_Fetish

the explosion deals physical damage, a % of their max hp so increasing the player count makes them hit harder. you can block the damage and it can be mitigated with dr/dr%. your merc is immune to the explosion, so you can let them kill em while you are far away. if you are playing hardcore i would avoid them at all costs since with modifiers they can do crazy damage in hell until you have an endgame lifepool with some dr. i only play hc offline though so i can reroll good meph maps. they give really good exp but not worth the risk just swap to vigor and look for better mobs, take your mercs weapon off if they are popping them on top of you.

I think i figured they can do about 800 hit points each before reductions. And i think that was before the 5% monster critical chance every monster has. So even if you have 50% dr, lots of direct dr, 75% chance to block, and 3500 hit points, it's dangerous to stand there and tank them.

Thanks yea I figured it's just not worth it to try and kill them just keep vigor up and hand close to the escape key for now...

It doesn't, their damaged is calculated from base hp only. They do have 5% deadly strikw though, which when combined with amplify damage can potentially hit for ~2k.

- 100% physical damage
- Subject to deadly strike (all monsters possess an innate 5%)
- Modifiers such as Extra Strong and Fanaticism etc, don't increase the explosion damage
- Fire/Light/Cold Enchanted explosion bugs don't apply to the explosion, they are separate
- Can be blocked/dodged
- Does not increase with player count

Damage is calculated as follows:

MaxHp = MonLvlHp*MonStatsHp/100
MaxDamage = MaxHp*CorpsePct/100
MinDamage = MaxDamage*60/100
Physical Damage Taken = (MinDamage + rand(MaxDamage-MinDamage) - 1) / 2
CorpsePct = 50 for normal, 35 for nightmare and 20 for hell
