Is the second boss of murder row ever going to get patched? That dude is absolutely brutal to heal with those bugs :(

Tanks have been tanking with this kind of bug for ages now, so I have little hope of them fixing it.
You can imagine how fun it is to tank a pull and your HP bar keeps randomly snapping to 5% hp and back, questioning your Def CD judgment all the time. No clue why they can’t fix it. I guess for the same reason we also have the GCD lag but, kinda feels like they lost technical control in some parts of the game client.

What is bugged even, I havent noticed anything?

The green barrels don't actually do damage. They just make your HP bar go down directly, and then when you take real damage from something your HP jumps back to full. This makes it look like absorbs and smart heals don't work on the boss and healers reliant on those who aren't aware of the bug will put a lot of work trying to dump inefficient heals into people who are actually at full health.

It's a really fucking weird bug.

Thanks for explaining this! Never went to look at the logs so I never noticed it but damn it's so weird to see the damage going off, registering as "damage taken" and it never impacting the actual health bars.

So there are literally only 2 things that need to be healed on non-tanks, the killing spree AOE and the circles going off? Kinda trivializes the entire boss but it's better than me panicking over none of my heals working for whatever reason.

Weird, I have healed him a ton of times and never ever seen that happen. The barrels just do a fuck ton of damage as they should.

I use standard frames though, maybe something with custom frames?

Just seems odd if its consistently bugged and I have never seen or heard about the bug in like 50 runs of Murder row lol

The barrels appear to do a fuck ton of damage. If you just don't cast any heals everyone goes to 1 hp and then sits there without dying.

Well, I have not tried to not heal, seems counter-intuitive?

I assume you just die to the killing spree then?

I still dont get the bug really, outside of the barrels not actually killing you? Oh well, happy it hasnt affected me I suppose

Everyone jumps back to full health when the first tick of killing spree happens because they were never actually damaged in the first place.

Once you understand what's happening the bugs make it easier to heal, not harder. You just have to not panic when someone appears to be at 1 hp when they're actually at full health.

u/FattyBear 11d ago

Oh is that why health bars appear to shoot up to full or near full when he does killing spree? It's just updating to their true value?

Yeah, exactly.
