Im just tired of lossing my keys on Devos just cuz of that bugged spear. I really want to knw if blizzard is doing something to fix that, cuz its been weeks of reports and foruns and nothing abt that.
has to be next on their radar considering they just hotfixed muehzala in DoS who was also ruining a lot of peoples keys.
what was hotfixed?
if you used an immunity during the fight it would sometimes (a very high chance, actually i think every time?) spawn stellar cloud which wipes the whole group. Stellar cloud should only spawn if someone isn’t on the platform where the boss is.
happened to me in two +15 DoS
Somebody showed me a clip of them missing at Devos spear and the mistake is people are throwing the spear at her head. You have to throw at her body after she moves.

Imo the hitbox should be her entire body minus wings. If my foor got trucked by a giant spear I’d still be in pain.
I always throw spear at her body after she moves and spear phase again (well sometimes), but if i throw spear to her wings, spear phase ends. She es bugged.
Her hitbox is her body. If you aim for the head or wing than you’re going to miss.
Most people miss because they are in a rush. If you wait 3 seconds once you grab the spear and wait for her to move and stop, then you will hit her every time.

I could go make a video showing me aiming it right at her chest and failing but you’d probably dismiss it and chalk it up to me “not waiting enough”
Make the video and ill be objective about it.
I’ve never seen the spear bug in many, many runs of Spires. I don’t think this is a real issue, but is instead user error.
This was an actual bug. It would register the immune player as off the platform and spawn the group wipe mechanic, stellar cloud. It’s about time they fixed this.
just happened to me. safe to say they’ll never fix it.
When you click on the spear to hop into it to fire at devos the screen is stuck on the transition for your interface, i use the default wow one with the blizzard art at the bottom of the screen. so I just see the ui going down then coming back up, then down and up in a loop with no way of firing the spear at devos.

It is a bug, but /reload works.
it sure as hell didnt when i did, i was put in a load screen for longer than usual and came back to still not being able to throw it. was a few seconds til the aoe killed us.
forum trolls are so boring…
the mechanic is not only bugged, its pointlessly contrived. seems blizzard lead design sent a memo to add at least one obtuse boss to every dungeon.
well this one is just plain bad… i’ve that spear miss many times no matter how i time it, and this seems to affect disproportionately people that play with high latencies.

I love how in the first half of your post you started off strong and then in the last half it’s obvious you kind of just gave up. Sorta like Blizzard with this dungeon.
How am I a troll? There are two “bugs” that people complain about. One is an actual bug where your action bars cycle and you litterally cant throw the spear. Which is where you need to /reload.
The other “bug” is where people miss because they throw it at the boss before waiting for her to move and stop. You pointing out that it is disproportionately happening to high latency shows that you don’t know how networking works. With high latency, Devos is already on the move server side, but isnt moving for the client yet. Which can still be resolved by waiting for her to move and stop moving before throwing. In the video someone posted, you can see that she moved client side very shortly after the spear missed. Which was most likely a latency issue. Point being, either wait for her to move and stop or dont pick up the spear if you have high latency.
Bunch of videos linked there. Here’s the most obvious one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx7KkahqEj0&ab_channel=Gretel
