Xylem intermission bugged for Survival Hunter, works for Havoc

Every time I get to the p1 intermission (Xylem teleports and casts Arcane Annihilation, phases when you reach him, indicated by a glimmer), I’m unable to progress the phase by reaching the boss as Survival Hunter. He phases as normal when I reach him as Havoc Demon Hunter, but every single time I’ve reached that phase as Survival, he won’t stop the cast when I’m standing on top of him.

I have several VoDs of me reaching the intermission and standing on the boss as Survival without him phasing:

Here’s the intermission working correctly for me as Havoc

I would much prefer to progress this challenge as Survival since I find p1 easier w/ Surv than w/ Arms/Frost/Havoc/Sub to work towards the mount (just Xylem and healer left!), but I’m brick walled by the intermission not functioning for the class I’m most able to reach the intermission on.

Has anyone else run into this bug and know a workaround/what combination of factors causes it so I can avoid those? I’ve seen VoDs of other Survival Hunters beating the timewalking mage tower challenge, both with going slowly and with turtle+aspect quickly to the boss. A friend said he’s experienced this infrequently while he was progging Xylem, but it’s happening consistently for me, just only on Survival.

Okay did you ever figure out why this was happening, keep pushing to this P1 intermission and every time I am standing on him or next to him like in the shimmer and nothing. With full health and 2 fel charges to get to him it should not be taking off all my health?

Stll happening as of april 14 2023

Figured I’d include this info, it’s not bugged, it explains this no where but as a hunter you have to use flare to break him out of his intermission, unlike the other specs that do this they just have to reach him. Hope this helps
