I’m pretty sure this is a bug. Been noticing it since the raid came out. Withering Touch is a debuff that is randomly placed on a raider during phase 2 (seed phase). However, occasionally it continues to be applied throughout phase 3, almost always leading to a wipe for us. I have looked over our logs and some pulls I can see that damage from it is gone in phase 3 and others, it continues to be applied.

Good evening!
Our raid group actually started running into this issue in heroic tonight as well. After causing it 4-5 times in a row, we were able to narrow down the cause to as follows:
While Artificer is in the process of transitioning into phase 3, if he is going to cast root of extinction (the ability that summons seeds) while he is doing the transition or the seeds have not exploded while he is transitioning. Then Artificer will continue to apply withering touch through phase 3, the way we got around this was slowing dps if seeds were close to summoning and waiting for seeds to blow before pushing into phase 3.

We experienced this tonight. We figured it was related to the ongoing DDoS, but exactly what Connpanda described. We will adjust on the next raid night per the suggestion of slowing DPS, but heads up this bug still exists.
Still getting this bug today. Gonna try not pushing him during seeds to see if we can avoid it
