This boss jumps up and not once, but can up to 4 times in a row and becomes completely untargettable. Since I play bard and ONLY EVER get these on bard make me skip these ridiculous bosses. Time is off the essence for bards, and if the boss is untargettable for about 20 times in a 5minute fight for 10 seconds approximately each… it becomes too difficult. I missed both awakenings as the boss, as mentioned jumped 4 times up… you gonna think after 2 he aint jumping… but no. And also he likes to move 24/7 out of all my ground stuff… so yes. Make him at least targetable, and give the option to skip boss portals.
I think standing at the edge of the map might help. Got a red portal on my bard yesterday and the boss kept jumping back and forth. It was annoying. After a good 2 minutes fighting I realized I then was at the edge of the map, and the boss no longer moved absurdly. He couldn’t jump ahead anymore so he could only jump backwards a few steps, then went back to where I was standing. He basically got stuck there with me. I finished him off quick. He wasn’t the boss you mentioned though, but it might help. Just a thought.
I guess a boss that’s 2.5 minutes untargetable is an intended feature in a 5 minute fight as this bug post is being ignored by CMs.
Thanks for reporting this. I can’t say whether this is an intentional mechanic or not but I will forward this to the team nonetheless.
