[BUG] Veteran Maelstrom Arena stage 7 boss fight

So while practicing and trying out different things, I decided to start playing with crushing shock instead of force pulse as it makes my life a whole lot easier in the veteran maelstrom arena. Until the boss fight of stage 7, that is.
The argonian behemoth. His main unique mechanic is that he spawns two lightning mages. Once you kill one of them, he starts his 'enraged scream'. His entire body will turn red indicating an 'enrage'. While he does this, the remaining lightning mage puts up a lightning bubble in which you need to take cover from the scream, otherwise you'll die. Once under the bubble, you have the perfect opportunity to dps the boss as much as you can until he stops screaming.
The problem here is, that crushing shock interrupts his scream mechanic. As soon as you cast crushing shock on the boss, he stops screaming. He also retains his red 'enrage' glow around his body. The boss doesn't have the red 'interrupt me now!' sparks flying off of him when he does it, so I don't think this is intended. It's also making the fight much harder than it previously was.
Would be cool to get this fixed aswell, if it's not intended.

✭Actually, he does have the red sparks that indicate possibility of interrupting. Just didn't notice them due to my poor pc
Kinda strange design though, as interrupting him makes the fight 10x as hard

✭Reviving this thread, as PTS patch 2.2.1 introduced a new bug.
This bug is not exclusive to the boss fight of stage 7, though. It's about the toxic plants. They don't have a red AOE indicator anymore when they explode. Makes it extremely hard to tell if you're in the AOE or not, and makes the plants hard to see aswell when one of the 'summoners' pops up.0 -
