Tried twice to kill Varshan on T1. His shield regens so fast and for such a large amount that no damage will bring it down. Saw this as a known issue on YT but not anywhere else

Not that I’ve done the fight yet this season, but are you killing the ads before he consumes them?

Yup. Killed him so many times in last few seasons but this time … can’t seem to get rid of his shield. Other bosses fine. Weird.
I killed it today in T2 leke 4-5 times. Now i did tier 50 Pit and moved up to T3and I was like lets just test it. I kan kill Duriel in like 2 min but Varshan’s hp bearly budges…
Yeah this is awful. His shield does not move, it is not like Butcher’s even.
Not only Varshan, every minion with a shield seems to be bugged. Even a skeleton archer with a shield on takes more time to kill than a boss.
question, do you have alot of Barrier generation on your gear ? observation theroy here… i think the barrier gen affix might work for mobs your fighting also. i noticed this change to varshan who i 1 shot alot before, is now a shield sponge after i rolled barrier on my gear ??? maybe connected here?
Interesting. I fought Varshan on T1 and didn’t notice anything unusual, and I do not have any Barrier generation going on (SB all-centipede build).
So I wanted to just advise my testing. When running with my wife who is a spiritborn, any time she attacked the mob, the barrier was active and causing us huge issues. I left the encounter and she tried it on her own same issue.
I am playing a Necro, and use Soulrift for barrier.
If I fought Varshan with her running around not hitting the boss, it was ok… Until I used Soulrift. Using soulrift caused the same issue. Not using Soulrift during the encounter and just letting my minions do their damage, kept the fight steady.
So I do believe there is merit to your theory of barrier generation affecting enemies.
Tests were done on T3 Varshan

wonder if a sorc could test this also then ? because they generate barriers also
I don’t have one to test, but I was able to replicate 100% of the time. Any time I casted soulrift while fighting, it was guaranteed I would do little to no damage. Same with Spiritborn
This^
The barrier is still bugged y’all - pls remove it if you can’t make it work properly. TY
Had the same issue several times .,
Also his fight is all over the place in starting like it isin’t set right…
sometimes he drops his floor attack a second after he spawns … and gets a hard shield during it …
when the adds are up I take them down in seconds sometimes and yet he still gets a shield …
Several of the bosses are like this now as sometimes you are going faster than the server can keep up to it seems so decides to do extra invulnerabilies like for Anduril … suddenly you have to do the run around before the fire or whatever spins around to hit you right after you did it before…
I can’t even defeat Lilith anymore the lag seems so bad as it is impossible to see the things to dodge now as they kill me before they spawn on my screen…
I did have this bug last night too on my Sorc, but only once and I’m not sure what caused it. It is out there though.
