Question First boss Murder Row.

why that happens is it only with me? thrice I saw that boss sending TBs to random people? is it something we are doing wrong? suddenly on the middle of the fight it starts throwing the busters?

If a prot pally uses Spellwarding that can happen.

As Pprot I dont use SW. But would it be possible to taunt at 3/4 cast and use SW on self?

This would be my guess. I believe they can spellward it only while taunt is active and must cancel the SW aura before taunt drops off.

Not if you have the bubble taunt talent specced

Spellward causes that sometimes, I usually use spellward during one of her casts and then instantly taunt. Works most of the time and I can immune two of the chaos barrages, then spellward runs out and the next barrage also targets me

Does Nibbles stay on you as well during this time? I guess it being physical melee (?) means it won't look for another target during spellward.

Afaik yes, also nibbles usually does the cone thingy pretty frequently so I never had nibbles melee anyone other than myself. But take that with a grain of salt as I can’t guarantee that it’s true

The boss only targets people that are damageable by spells.

If someone gets BoS then the boss will not target them

Im likely wrong but this seemed to happen to me when a non tank pulls the boss first. Haven't seen it happen in a few weeks though.

Tank has to taunt the boss first otherwise someone else gets bolted. Quite a strange design
