Serus Uriel Special Attacks casting instantly under specific conditions

[sharp plume]

Summary: The boss "Serus Uriel" can have their special attacks (red ground indicator highlighted) hit instantly the moment the ground indicator appears, presumeably when their regular autoattack hits on the same server tick that the special attack begins.

Server: Mushpoie
Character: Morshu
Position: Mars Dungeon, final room where Serus Uriel is. idk how to find coords lol

Visual proof: https://youtu.be/U4U02FBKiKI

Expected result: Bosses special attacks take time to land after the ground indicator appears, giving the player time to move out of the way.

Actual result: Special attack lands instantly, the same moment the ground indicator appears.

Additional comments: This seems to happen when the bosses autoattack (regular attack) does damage in the same server tick that the ground indicator appears. Happened twice in the time i was initially trying to kill the boss, so not the most uncommon thing in the world. Probably worth fixing quick to help out the new player experience, seeing as this is so early in the game and just unfairly kills you immediately with no chance for counterplay.

I've also had this happen. I don't have any videos, however. Very frustrating as at the point you get the quest it's pretty much a guaranteed one hit.

Very nice, it's a very annoying bug that also happens with dungeon bosses.
Hopefully this will help devs pinpoint where the bug is coming from and will finally be able to fix this (unless they have given up on bug fixing as they gave up on our feedback and suggestions)

Very long confirmed, it had me frustrated doing this quests for some of my chars, absolutely unfair mechanic and the only way to prevent this is having OP HP eq. This is a common issue accross the board, there is a famous thread about the issue on one of the mid bosses in Wilds. Could the devs please please beg for taking care of the existing mechanics in ths game at the higher ups and try to fix issues before implementing new features? We are so frustrated by this. :(

If rm dies, you could resurrect without using the Scroll of Resurrection by following these steps:

1. The dead teammate leave the party.(Usually a knight and 2 rm, at least one person is in the dungeon)
2. Close the game.
3. After re-logging in to the game, you will return to the entrance to the instance outside.
4. Use resurrection to resurrect all teammate by the rm outside.*
5. Rejoin the party.
6. Enter the dungeon.

※ You need a alt rm to stand by at the instance outside.

Is anyone able to give an update on this in the spirit of Piccolo’s comments on feedback this afternoon? I would like to be able to use stonehand on kraken without mass murder from instacast or cursing the instas from BPs stonehand on wilds midbosses
