I've been in multiple runs now and Ares is completely ignoring the tank and killing anyone who hits him with a power or weapon attack. Proximity plays no factor in this since we tried close range and far range. Must be something wrong in the coding.
He's doing this on Normal too. Just randomly jumps out and swipes then jumps back, sometimes takes out 2-3 people before jumping back, seems to go after the healers 1st, well least after me when I was healing.
According to Mepps, they're aware, and it is being addressed. He's ignoring people close to him, i.e. the tank. Maybe in an attempt to make him more melee friendly, something went awry.
Another issue is the Punisher. Usually she absorbs energy, waits, then does a damage blast back. Most of the time in the Regular Throne Raid she's now doing TWO damage blasts. We'd see the first one, think it's all safe and start attacking and BAM! Three people down at once. And, no, there wasn't a Bowmaster out as well. It was just her and two regular soldiers.
