Harvest bosses are still sh*t

Harvest bosses do not phase after they take 50-60% of their damage.

They just stand there, repeating the same attacks over and over.
I'm sitting here in a map, for 5 minutes, waiting for it to eventually phase.

And it's not happening.

This has been the case for many years.

I see you made a recent change, to force it only to last 40 seconds for the vine stage.

Can you please do something about it in general, because it's a complete waste of time.

Harvest bosses are stupidly picky about their surroundings. You need to lure them somewhere more open.

But yeah, +1 to doing something about their phase behavior. Either make it so they stop attacking and find a place to phase, or allow players to kill them outright if they don't phase quickly enough.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

The others found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on juice. I am not so foolish.
I havent gone from that excited to that disappointed about a patch note in a long time.

YES they finally fixed it....oh no that was never the main problem.

Mission failed boys well get em next time
Yeah, all you have to do is kite them away from whatever wall they're too close to and they'll do their thing.

Not saying that they couldn't be improved upon mind you. But if you're sitting for 5 min waiting for them to phase that is something that can be easily avoided with a little knowledge, no patch required there.
ok, increase harvest area then, if walls block from phasing. I also tired to lure him (boss) somewhere, or outdps it 100 times just to kill it once.

Yellow one is most problematic. But they don't change phases fast enough, it takes 1 sec to hit him to 50% and then 2 minutes playing with him to try attract him to follow you somewhere to change phase.

Update was released and they made a change, but it lasted for very short time and now it happening again.

Same goes to Elder Guardians you hit him(boss), hp drops those ~33% and guy still not going to second phase. Try it with knockback on hit, they wont change phases at all until you stop knocking him.

You have billion damage? Wait boss have prepared some animations for you to watch. A friend of mine, a new player, whe he saw me fighting with those boss he said: Aha, you can kill them. Even tho I have 100 times enough of damage.

When you experiencing such bug, type /bug in game. They will fix or check it much faster.
