... For example, there's a boss in vMA, Voriak Solkyn. At certain % of his health he teleports away, and becomes invincible while doing so, so even with highest dps possible you'll still need to perform required mechanic.

Not true.
The boss is not killable until you destroy all three pillars around the room. At that time a timer starts until the pillars are back up, it is not correlated with the boss' max health. With high dps it is possible to kill the boss before the pillars get back up.
That boss fight is another example of a skippable mechanic with high burst damage.

No, I mean the first part. I dont see how its possible to kill him without teleporting upstairs, so no skipping mecahnics in this case. If it is possible without any kind of exploits, I'd like to see a video.
I didnt know it was possible to get 2 crystal phases though. I've never seen that. o.O
And anyways... Mechanics on this boss are unskippable. He teleports upstairs no matter what, he will enrage if he eats 3 golden ghosts etc.
Ibomex mechanics are skippable though, since you can just ignore the grenades. But you cant kill Solkyn without him teleporting upstairs.

You are talking about diferent bosses i think. You talk about last maelstrom boss and Dubhlian about the stage 8 boss. In that stage i gueess a sorcerer can overload his ass after killing the 3 pillars once, skipping the rest of the boss phases.

1. Save ulti for last boss s8
2. Equip 2pc Kena before spawn
3. Smack totems down fast
4. ???
5. pewpew ***

he ded

EDIT:
In non-sorc terms; I kill him without even worrying about a single add. No extra phases, nothing.

But that boss is called Valkyn Tehpra (spelling?), not Voriak.
