Hunter's Grotto Boss Fight - Issues with Grapple

✭✭✭✭✭
Did a clear last night of Vateshran, and it seems there are some issues with grapple in the final boss fight of Hunter's Grotto. I didin't notice anything in the rest of the arena.
- After grappling, by character will "teleport" to the landing location just as/before he arrives, and the camera jumps in a really disorientating manner. I am not all that sensitive to jumping screens (former RTS player) and even for me it was quite jarring, I imagine someone with a tendency for motion sickness might be significantly affected. In general there is just something that feels off with grappling, like there is some miscommunication between client and server.
- Quite often, the boss would just refuse to jump platforms and give chase after changing colors. It was as though he was stuck in the first phase where doesn't ump at all if you go to another platform. He would just run left and right for a bit and then start channeling fireballs. Sometimes I could get him to jump by grappling to the same platform I was on, but it didn't always work and I would have to go to him, while invulnerable, run him around, and then try again. This made the fight take much longer than usual as often just as I managed to get him on the right platform he would swap colors before I could get any real damage in. All the while dealing with channels of course.
- Another thing I noticed when he failed to jump was that he would run to the ledge in front of the channellers, which I had never seen before, though he never seemed to get permanently stuck there.

Saieden✭✭✭✭✭Did another run last light, this is definitely a persistent issue. Next time I go again, maybe today, I will record the fight and post a link here.
