bishopand voidwaken battle question

[rpc]

this was quite an easy battle because the worm fighted against the magisters and them were most of the time busy to fight him instead of my party.
did i encounter a bug or the voidwaken is supposed to fight everybody ?
i dont understand well english so i dont understand the role of this worm neither who cast him?
can you explain to me ? was a bug ?
thx for help

No it was not a bug. The drillworm seems to focus alexander and will only go after you after he is dead and the magisters will focus the drillworm until it is dead.

[rpc]

so what is this voidwaken story ? who summon him ?

[Crankganker]

Oh is see what you mean now. Nobody summoned him. He came in to kill everyone because its a voidwoken that is attracted to source making it a 3-way battle. I assume because english isnt your native language you missed that part? but then again I dont know what language you are playing the game in. I hope that helps

No, the voidwoken is supposed to attack them. In fact, sitting far away and letting them kill each other is the best way to win the fight.

thx a lot

I’ve never seen the voidwoken attack anyone but me. If I try to run away it’ll burrow across the map at me.

I think it follows the same target priority as other mobs which is something like
p = threat / tankiness.
Though I don’t know exactly how that’s analyzed.

i only lay the last blow on him all the work was from the magisters you are unlucky

I have to agree with rpc here, it never really attacked me. Have you tried teleporting far away, to where the seekers went?

[Ptolemy]

I never made it that far away before it died. It tunneled at me on the ledge so I jumped away and made it to the bottom of the steps, but it’s tunnel has no CD and it left the entire enemy team to burrow under me again.

My reasoning for thinking it’s standard AI:

It has to be managed by some AI. Why would they write new behavior for the worm? No other mobs have that, they all follow the same decision making process.

I’ve gotten a full clear both playthroughs and run pretty aggressive builds. I was at least Alexander’s level but not nearly as tanky.

When my tank taunts (pre-buff) it does nothing because he couldn’t make up the difference in aggro.

The worm focuses me every single time to the exclusion of all others. It seems pretty consistent.
