Tormented beast in the ice damage bugged?

The damage of certain abilities in the tormented beast in the ice fight are extremely high compared to the damage of other tormented bosses. Specifically, the ice spikes that spawn from his normal hits were frequently two-shotting me and the elites during the second intermission were one-shotting me with no stacks of the “screw up” debuff. This is with 56k HP, maxed res/armor and 54% damage reduction. There was no other tormented boss that deals remotely close to this amount of damage with their non-“special” attacks.

Is this boss bugged or simply poorly designed? Thanks.

Got to be bugged. He just one shots everything this season, not something he did last season.

It’s a bug, probably from the fact he’s now level 200. Last season he was level 150 and I guess the upgrade overtuned his damage.

Thankfully he’s still possible and you can just avoid the damage. I’ve killed him about 5 times now solo, but not without a few deaths every attempt.
