The boss at the end of HoW is kind of cheap [obvious spoilers]

Darkcloud

This was more of an issue on insane but the basic problem is, that the stupid whirlwind attack continues to deal damage in the cut scene when you defeat the dragon form and especially on insane this quickly ads up. Did I miss something to ward against it. It took me quite a few tries to survive with all characters.

The duration is also insanely long and deals huge damage over time.

So it seems this is because of a bug with the whirlwind.

Of course the boss is kind of cheap. It's not like you have to pay 1000000 gold in order to fight her.

And she gives you no loot. Therefore she's a cheapskate.

I think whirlwind has some kind of bug

Well actually in the enhanced edition she drops scales.

I totally agree the Whirlwind thing is pretty nuts. It follows one character, though, so you can kite it to avoid damage. Not much to do about it in the cutscene, though, except hope it's ended by that point.

It has been reported :

this is actually kind of different and should be reported too.

Characters getting killed during cutscenes is different than the whirlwind bug.

Cluas

Yes sorry I meant the Whirlwind has been reported. Since people was talking about whirlwind
