Vet BC Keeper Imiril and Rilis - Blocking Bug?

orangeman57ub17_ESO
So we just finished Vet Banished Cells (Upscaled to VR12) and I was on tanking duty, and felt pretty useless. Mainly on Keeper Imiril. Seems if i blocked, didnt block, or used an abilitiy to increase my armor, she would hit me for 700ish every time. I use FTC which shows when I have blocked an attack (puts number in parentheses), and it was showing as the incoming damage wasnt mitigated by a block. Her attacks were a physical attack, why couldnt i block them? I basically kited her around spamming a shield and using green dragon blood (so my healer wasnt so taxed). Had the same issue with the final boss, unable to block any of his attacks.

Is this intended or a bug? If that's how it was supposed to be, whats a good strategy for fights like that. Sword and board is basically useless (even defensive posture didnt work on RIlis' projectiles).

Despite our victory, I felt pretty sour about that fight.

    Rilis can't be reflected either. I had to bubble tank him while popping immovable for mitigation. I still felt like the mitigation was useless. I must have been near cap was was getting hit for 600-700 hits while also taking daedra damage. It can't have been fun for my healer. It sure wasn't for me.

    Have any mods commented on this? It's all over the forums but I don't recall them ever acknowledging it. Under these circumstances I can't imagine the average pug will be able to get this done.

    Also the boss timers such as the Netch in DSC and Imiril seems off to me.

    When I've run BC, our strategy was always not to tank Rillis and tank the Daedroth instead.

    Also, the Daedroth can apparently no longer be stunned?

    I think the Daedroth change is intended. As for Rillis I don't know if it's a bug or not but there def was a bug with Imiril when I last tanked BC. Yesterday our tank didn't notice the issues with Imiril untill the very end of the fight where he could no longer block the damage.

    Not stunned but you can CC them.
    Anyway veteran BC has gone from being the easiest dungeon to the hardest.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    No, you can't anymore. They made Daedroth, Trolls, and a few other types of mobs unable to be CCed now in 1.5.

    The following monsters are now immune to crowd control effects:

    Daedroths
    Liches
    Trolls
    Watchers
    Wispmothers
