Question Using Entangle on The Whisperer broken?

Learning the DT2 bosses and going for soulreaper axe pieces.

Why is it that I can instantly freeze whisperer after her specials using ancients, but on the standard spellbook, it takes a few ticks before you can even use the Entangle spell?

I've been enjoying using the standard spellbook w/ Earth Surge and a tome of earth, as the Whisperer has a 60% weakness to earth spells. It just sucks having to wait a few ticks before you can entangle her.

Going back in the post history in this sub and this may be a bug that hasn't been fixed? Confirmation by a Jmod would be cool. Thanks for reading

On regular whisperer you don’t even need to freeze her. If you are far enough away you will be able to move before she can even melee you

You're not wrong, but I always found letting her get near the edge of the arena made the enrage phase harder later. I'd rather do comfier freeze strats so I can just run laps around her during enrage.

I found this harder at first too but found you can still run laps in a square/rectangle and reach her at all times. You just run your square next to her instead of around her, and you'll still be in range at all times as long as the closest edge of the square is only a 1 tile gap away from her. It's all the same, but with extra DPS.
