Here are a couple of questions about world boss events. Thanks in advance for reading through it or answering.

The Shatterer:
Whenever I shoot one of the cannons on the hills, I get thrown back slightly and have to press F again to control it. Only to have it happen the next time again. Is there any way to prevent this?

Inquest’s Golem Mark II:
Someone said that the part east of him at about 800 range is less likely to be targeted by his electrical field attack. When I paid attention to this, it was really hit only once during the fight. So, is any part of the floor equally likely to be hit by that attack or are there differences? (answered)

Claw of Jormag:
1. During the first phase of the battle there is a small area directly northwest of Jormag that is neither affected by Icy Ground nor any other attacks. Is this intended? (answered)
2. What causes Jormag to become stunned in phase 2? How many golems have to get through to accomplish this?

Lyssa:
1. Many people say that you have to turn away when under the effect of Corrupted Gaze to prevent further mobs from spawning. Is there really a connection between looking there and spawning mobs?
2. Failing to defend the northwest and northeast seals causes the event to reset. Why doesn’t failing to defend the cannon have the same effect?
3. Do the defend event occur in any specific order/on a specific timer or is it just random?

Fire shaman:
During phase 3 and 5 of the battle, where you have to weaken the summoned elemental, the fire elemental sometimes is reset to full health. I suspect attacking the fire shaman causes this, but it is not propagated anywhere. Is this the real reason and is this working as intended? (answered)

Megadestroyer:
Many people want him to be dragged out of the lava. Is there any different use in this other than allowing players to engage him in melee? (answered)

Jormag – they likely missed some safe spots in the change to him. So it is an oversight

Golem – seems random, although east side seems to get the fields less. That is largely anecdotal though from my P.O.V.

Destroyer – dragging him out of the lava means melee ppl wont have to burn alive if they are stacking and also means his champ chest drop doesn’t get dropped in the death pool of flames!

Shaman – sounds like a bug. Never seen this happen regardless of zerg size

Can’t be certain enough on the rest to post anything reliable

Thanks for sharing your insights. I thought the Megadestroyer maybe did extra damage while standing in the lava or spawns adds. That would be kind of cool actually.

Yes that would be an interesting mechanic I agree

It’s been awhile since I’ve really did Lyssa (so maybe they changed it), but as far as I can remember, failing any of the events causes Lyssa to become invulnerable but she doesn’t reset.
