New omoran phase may be slightly too much damage

[IvySlug]

I like it and all, makes you get off dotty for once, but it goes from 80/90% to destroyed. Lots of people don't get the new phase yet and I know it'll be better once people figure it out but someone staying on the dozer for the 3rd time kinda sucks. No real way to avoid it since we don't have a stingtail support tool
Maybe a voice line to tell people to get off dotty? Ping the weird shield over the stone and you'll shout "Give the old lady some space!" or something

the dwarves do actually have a voice line saying "get off the dozer, the ommoran is attacking from below" or something like that

if that doesn't work then tell them in text chat to get off the dozer, thats worked for me so far

if that fails then another voiceline wouldn't have done any good, some players just can't learn

Doretta has explosive damage resistance. Dwarf's do not. Hint hint, nudge nudge, know what I mean? Say no more, say no more.

Voicelines are not a good way to introduce mechanics, especially when you are in the middle of a frantic fight where you are more concerned about fighting off bugs and repairing the dozer, rather than listening to the dwarves whining and yelling every 10 seconds during the fight.

This new phase is honestly really dumb, the telegraphing makes no sense, the damage caused to the dozer is ridiculous, and once you are aware of it then the phase practically does nothing. Nobody wins, unless you enjoy snoozing through the most boring and brain numbing part of Escort.

I'm Not Understanding All These People Constantly Standing on Doretta-
Maybe It's a Team Play Thing, Where You Can Have an Extra Dwarf Constantly Repairing Her

Because I Play Mostly Solo, and on Escort Missions, with All 4 Classes, I'm Able to Run Back and Fully Repair Dotty, But I'm Never Really Fully On Her Unless She's Drilling and Moving Through Terrain- I'll Jump On the Side Skids, Do Some Quick Fixing, and Then Jump Off, Either to Go Kill Attacking Bugs, or When You See 1 of the 4 Drilling Phases About to Be Complete- If You're Standing On Dotty and Repairing When Those Phases End and the Heartstone Cracks and Explodes a Little Bit, You'll Take Damage From That Too

Maybe Playing Escort Solo Oddly Trains You To NOT Stand on Dotty,
So Things Like This New Ommorran Attack Mode Won't Really Punish You

So, I don't really stand on dotty unless its swarm phase, i'm talking about other players. My big problem with it is damage is out of my control. At least with rocks or beamers I myself can do something to prevent damage

The drilldozer actually does take less damage from the claws when it's on it's last health bar.
The two side panels take like 80-90% damage, but the core only takes around 30% damage.
