started up farming old raid content again after a burnout and decided to start off with SoO, came to fallen protectors and when i get to 60% on each of them, they bug out, Rook only spawns one add and Sun spawns one stationary add and a small Sha spawn, the only one who works correctly is “He”. placed a bug report but thought i’d post this here if anyone else has had the same problems as i.

loads of people got that problem. Has a temporary fix. Focus all your damage on either of the bugged ones and make sure they start casting their ress before they can enter add phase. Do the same to the second and you should be golden hopefully. That was my last resort and it worked.

Just wanted to point out that this is happening to me too, tried killing them 4 times in a row, ended up having to hs out all 4 times as they turned unkillable, the above fix didn’t work for me either unfortunately so i’ve just given up on my SoO farm for this reset. Makes me wonder how this one ended up getting broken though…

Still bugged, but figured out a way to kill them.
You can kill He as many times as you want as he is not bugged. I slowly got through all the phases of He (66%, 33%) then left him be. Meanwhile I got Sun to about 70% and then I popped CDs and nuked her in 2 seconds. She “died” and triggered her respawning animation.
Then I waited for my CDs and did the same to Rook. The third one (He) died meanwhile or w/e and finally got through this encounter. Pain in the &@# at the moment with this bugged state.
Hope this helps you guys until it’s fixed.

Encountered it as well, several attempts on mythic, 2/3 of the bosses become invulnerable at 70%. On heroic it’s 1/3 so you’re left with 2 bosses that do this.
I’ve managed to solo both HC and Mythic (Warr 379ilvl). on HC i just nuke them down pretty easy, however on Mythic i have to use another tactic. I remove my weapon and fist fight them till Rook and Sun are as close to 66% as possible (66% is when they phase out for add phase) after this i put my weapon back on and popped every CD known to man and nuke them! managed to do it with ease. (If any fellow warriors are wondering, i popped CDs with avatar, warbreaker, and bladestormed, deep wounds did the rest).
I have same issue as of writing this.
I have however managed to find a reset for the boss, that works semi consistently.
Make He stand on the top most of the broken piece of stairs. The gray rectangle. Make him heal here. Jump down on the piece of broken red pattern pillar in the North-East end of the arena. Stand on the top most pointy edge of the red part, furthest away from the center of the arena.
I made a guide, but I can’t post links?
Yes this is ridiculous experiencing this problem since last week still no hope major cockblock on the tusk farm
just used this, waited for Rook to use his whirlwind type move, got him to 0%, did the same with sun while she channeled a mind flay ability, easily done =)
Hello everyone. Just letting you know this is currently being looked into.
Hopefully it won’t be long now.

Ok so here’s how I did it:
(DO EXACTLY AS THE STEPS SAY HERE IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK)
- damage He Softfoot to under 66%
- kill add that spawns
- damage He Softfoot to under 33%
- kill add that spawns
- wait for Sun Tenderheart to start casting Calamity and once she does just obliterate her ASAP
- kill the adds that spawn from Sun
- wait for Rook Stonetoe to start casting Corruption Kick (the long channel aoe kick) and once he does just delete him
- wait for Sun and Rook to respawn and once they are actually alive, nuke all 3 of them
I got it to work for me this way and I cannot stress enough how bad it felt doing this boss. It’s supposed to take 3 seconds but it took 3 hours instead to finally understand how the glitch works.
PS: this way you can reset the boss very reliably > https : / / www . youtube . com/watch?v=jOi2XbVt7m0 (delete the empty spaces in the link)

For an Arms Warrior it works by using Warbreaker and 3x Lord of War for maximum Snapshot AoE burst. Caster and Rogue died instantly. Brought the Warrior down by killing him right before he casts the stun. Was a lucky shot, but doable this way.
Regarding the actual bug:
Caster and Tank spawn more than one add in their P2. Currently they only spawn 1 instead of 6 resp. 3. That needs to be looked at and fixed. Since you can’t kill all the adds they don’t revert back to P1 and the encounter can’t end.
It’s He Softhoof bugging out for me every time. 10 tries now, still going 
Couple of tries after: still he softhoof bugging out, tried all the methods here. including bursting them all in 2 seconds.
Edit2: one more try after and tried this method again, it worked but differently.
after bringing the rogue less than 33 % and killing second add, I just bursted the caster first and tank after and all 3 of them died instead of respawning. I guess it’s sort of luck based too I don’t know. Tried this method a couple of times and suddenly now it worked.
The most recent patch that came down has fixed the protectors fight. Finally!
