Under-Lord Vik'tis - bugged or intended?

Hello,

There seems to be a bit of visual inconsistency with the Stinging Swarm ability, used by the boss of The Dread Pit delve. Even though I run greatly outside of the indicated field I still get damaged…

Not suprised, this expansion is one bug after another, but not being able to finish a bountiful 8 delve bedcause blizz once again failed to test something is just so annoying.
I’d love to get a refund honestly, this is just one of a thousand issues. I am ofc combat locked the entire time Im in delve, amongst other problems.
Unless this is intended, in which case great work on the visual clues - they are s***t.

It hits you no matter the range. I survived first one with Healing pot/defensives and 2nd one got me.

just did it on my BM Hunter - died twice to Stinging Swarm then figured that I would try to LOS it near the Explorers’ League Supplies - seemed to work ok - not sure how melee or people with no pets would manage though.

Yeah something is really wrong.I tried a tier 7 ( on a ret pala ilvl 575) and I thought I was safe too, cause I kept running but somehow that thing still damaged me.Couldn’t finish so I tried a 6…still same thing.I think the range for that ability is way bigger than it shows.

yeah, the range seems way too big

2 million damage per second for 6 seconds is very exaggerated, this at level 8, its possible to survive 2 waves with cd and pot, LOS also seems to work in some situations, but for all intents and purposes I think it is overtuned.

Edit: Group up with +1 and the damage is a joke.

Basically what I did was get Brann as a healer and when he drops the potions around the map, I would wait until Stinging Swarm ability to pick up, since it stacks. If it’s intended, I don’t think the visual clues are s**tty, you’re just bad

I tried it with Bran as a healer too the first 2 times(I had my own potions too plus my healing abilities).Bran s potions dissapear after a while.
I dunno if its intended to hit you from so far away but if it is, I guess the only way to do it is overgearing it…
And its not about being bad.

nice way to waste peoples time forcing them to do bugged delve.

as range or heal u can this AOE outrange, with timing.
but the real bad joke is, if u run too far away, the boss reset by leave her battle area

in the first layout lvl8 with hunt or shadow no problem, but the second layout with smaller battle area of this boss, no way to get out, boss resets

Can confirm as BM hunter the range of stinging swarm is just longer than autoattack range which if you ask me is absolutely absurd and a terrible ability design
