Hi, I was running Caudecaus’s Manor Explore mode earlier tonight, and my party got to the boss named Frost (engineer type boss with the freezing “flamethrower” type weapon). While we were trying to kite him, I think we came across a bug that made the boss fight incredibly simple.
When he was below half health with none of his rocket turrets left in the area, the party member holding aggro at the time was pulling him back to the water behind the house. I had respawned and jumped on top of the railing by the stairs to get some elevated shots in at him using my rifle.
I eventually pulled aggro and the boss started to attack me. Or at least tried to. He turned to spray at me but didn’t angle his weapon—he was spraying as if I was on the same elevation as him. I didn’t take any damage, and he stayed focused on me. We no longer had to kite him (except for the golem). His alternate attack that seems to freeze-stun you did damage and stun me though. [I was also pushed slightly back after I defrosted and had to rejump onto the railing]
Unfortunately I couldn’t get any great screenshots to prove this and I haven’t tried to reproduce it, but I attached one screenshot we got towards the end of the fight. I’m not sure if the chill condition I had on was lingering from previous hits or if the chilling condition was registering with the “hits” but not the damage…?
PS- Could this be related to the issues I have with the flamethrower targeting structures like weapon racks on my Charr Engineer? I know sometimes it won’t register hits unless I angle the stream up and/or to the side…
