Hey our group got together for Sorrow’s Embrace tonight and we cleared path 3 before trying path 2. We got to the last encounter in the 2nd path and noticed a strange occurrence. Before the patch, the Mark II golem’s electric attack only caused damage when passing through the edge of the ability. Tonight however, it was causing damage to us even while standing in the center of the static field.
This made the event impossible to complete for our group because even while strafing and running around you would take about 1/4 of your health after getting hit by a single electric attack. That was 1/4 of your health for our sword and board warrior who is very tanky, he also had 2 regeneration consumables activated too. I took around half of my hp being a necro. Of course you could dodge out of it but he was spamming the ability every few seconds. and sometimes you would get several of the circles stacked on top of you.
None of these other details were ever an issue on our first couple of runs through this particular encounter. The only thing that seems to have changed, and for the worse, is that we take damage even while at the center of the static field.
Since this change wasn’t included in the patch notes I am assuming it is an unforseen bug and posting it here. Answers would be much appreciated
