I died several times, but I didn't realize it was a bug I just assumed the area of effect was larger than the animation (the ground is upheaved and rocks are flung out along the path about 3-6m from center of slice) it also extends further outward than the end of the actual slice in the ground (potentially exponentially conical at the end of the slice). Once I learned to stayed far enough away, it was a pretty easy dance.
Dodge roll = live > dps = death You can see what I'm talking about best in this video. Notice how far they are for the first slash vs the slash that killed them. Then notice that nearly all slash deaths are at about the same distance from the center of the slash. https://streamable.com/jb5kqg Last edited by Scroggs-Husband#9076 on Jan 4, 2025, 9:35:31 AM

I believe I have identified the culprit although I'm still trying to piece together any patterns that may show why this is happening. Below are 2 different fights from different people from the "list of sadness", as you can see there are stray rocks that seem to be flung parallel to the slice directly in the path of the character.
  Here is a 3rd:  A 4th:  I'm beginning to think at least some of these could be a lag issue as I noticed death announcement in chat before the loss of HP. See the below example of this, which thanks to this players high resolution settings also shows more clearly the area of effect.   Last edited by Scroggs-Husband#9076 on Jan 5, 2025, 12:15:15 PM

Just stand on the outside of his left wrist. He will never do the slash forward drag that launches the rocks. He will sometimes drag back, it has never hit me. Platform slam and stalactite drop and fireball spew are the only mechanics you have to worry about. Oh the big blast stand behind the knife. forearm push 90% of the time will just go over your head. he does these repeated stabs into the platform starting at his right hand and heading left like he's psyching up for some knife game but if you are on the outside it will not hit you.
