I just started running GM1 content last week, and I’ve had a really mixed bag in terms of my survivability. The first run I kept getting downed very quickly, but the ones since I’ve only been downed a few times when it seemed justified (for lack of a better word). After the first run I almost stopped running GM1, thinking maybe I wasn’t geared for it (I think I was just about 450), but now I’m wondering if I just got hit by the health bug. Each run I also used the elite armor consumable. So I’ll be trying some runs this week in GM1 again to see how I fare.
I also got hit a bunch of times by the fog walls in both Temple of the Scar and Heart of Rage, so hopefully that’s not an issue any longer.
