[Arcatraz] Harbinger Skyriss Resets Immediately

[brighton-chi]

Current Behaviour

As soon as Harbinger Skyriss becomes attackable and is attacked after killing Warden Mellichar, he despawns, resetting the entire event. I experienced this in Heroic but assume the same would happen in Normal.

Expected Behaviour

Skyriss should aggro and be killable.

I did some more testing, and he doesn't reset if I am solo, but he does when there are bots (even if I aggro him first). I'm not sure if this is a bot-specific issue or if a party of real players would also have this problem. I'll try to see what I can figure out.

I think I figured out the issue. Warden Mellichar is attackable at any point that his shield is not up. As soon as he is attacked, the encounter resets from the very beginning (before any cells are opened). You can actually attack him endlessly at the very beginning of the encounter because you can reset it faster than he gets his shield up.

His shield comes down again when he releases Skyriss so you can reset the encounter then by attacking him. Skyriss kills him before Skyriss becomes attackable, but it's just a feign death aura and somehow you can actually attack Mellichar's "corpse" after Skyriss aggroes, and that resets the encounter.
