was trying to help a guildie unlock new maps this morning. he had fought all the way to the shadow plains boss and needed help. When i got there there was some kind of stun glitch. the bosses shield never went down and we couldn't target the mobs. the mobs were stuck in the southern green pool of slime. They didn't attack us either. We remade and cleared all the way to the boss where the same thing happened again. Thren (our mage) had one skill that would target, none of the rest of ours would.

The boss takes forever to get his shield of, this should be a bug. I wonder how elites will be, with the boss minions already being as hard as mini-elite-bosses. Running around getting 1-shotted by stupid Samaels? Not my idea of fun.

we'll be better geared for elites so we'll be fine. :)
i think they got it right this time in terms of difficulty. You can actually play through the mobs with level 31 gear this time. In nordr you have to level first, buy new gear then play through because of the difficulty. :)
I Experienced it with the elite version of him in last map. Thought lets see whats that abt.
The shield never get down. Mobs were suddenly stuck, stun or whatever it was or when not they were chasing me but i couldnt hit them, no hp bar. My arrows just had no target to aim for.

do you guys have more details about how they got stuck? Were players leashing/reseting mobs as they were fighting?
So once I was circling around them but i couldnt aim for them, like they were no target, but they still could hit me.
Second they were stuned, like they do after a while of fighting and crystals shield should go down, but it didnt (at least i think it work that way). So i was standing there staring on stuned mobs (stars around heads), crystal, and couldnt aim for any of them. I waited a while if something change but nothing.

If you find yourself in that scenario again, does running away and resetting the fight fix the issue?

Thren asked me to post this earlier today but I didn't have time until now. Since you are experiencing the same thing, I will post up her screenshot here. It shows that the clock her mage uses still does damage but her fireball doesn't damage them at all. Oh she also said is probably caused by the mage's fireball skill since its usually the first skill used and causes that stun.
oops you are in the chat box lol. Sorry! >_<

I'll try it but I don't think it will. The mobs weren't attacking us and we couldn't target them. It was like the were permastunned. If it happens again ill let u know. It could be a while tho because that boss takes along time to,beat and I'm not fighting him again until I upgrade my gears. Haha.

After the minions are at <50% health they incapacitate and no longer fight until after the heart becomes vulnerable. Based on the description this is as designed.

We ran into the same problem in elite on this map. The shield came down once but never went down again. After bringing the shield down once it seemed like we couldn't kill the mobs either. We spent a lot of time trying to kill the mobs but they wouldn't die nor did the shield come down. Also I and another person in the party has full level 36 upgraded mythics, plus 2 more experienced players. So I dont think its because of lack of damage.

Man, I'm not a noob. We sat there for 5 min and couldn't target the mobs because they were stunned locked and the shield around the boss never went down. Just ignore it. I'm going to quit reporting bugs.

we killed elite heart on normal tower and didnt get achiev, also we tried elite heart on first map and shield went down on flower only first time and after that samaels recovered health without flower getting shield lowered. so this are 2 bugs, 1 on elite heart achiev at normal tower and 1 on elite heart on first elite map.

time shift looks like do damage, but cant shoot them.. strange :/
its not the mage fireball, you can see that i have no, and when i arrived they were already in this stun lock.
the fourth samael sometimes come out from the stun and try to catch me, but we still cant shoot him.

We did the map again and the shield never drops because the mobs go to 50% then automatically go back to 100%. We keep killing them and once they go down to 50% they go right back to 100% HP.I made a video of it and i'll post it too. So unless there is some trick I've over looked this seems like a bug.

Guys according to carapace this is working as expected. We just don't know what were doing.
