I generally avoided doing SS back when I was doing AK because of this. Was pretty funny seeing people doing their stuff 5 seconds after a repel. Then BOOM, they go flying.



Yep, that's why I've stopped. I'd rather have people know "nope, I need to wait" than think that maybe Stoneskin took care of it, and then lose them. :S


Liquid is gone before he starts casting repel and it doesn't come back until several seconds after repel goes off. Kill speed has no effect on the timing of any of his abilities. I've had groups survive the whole fight and take him all the way to the door () and I've had groups kill him before bees spawned, and the pattern is just that predictable. I'd believe it happened to you once, because anything can, but I've done AK nearly 150 times and this never happens.
Of course, the bees red aoe can get in the way if your tank is dead or in a silly position.
Also, OP, You probably don't want to be promoting bugs, or what you perceive to be bugs. Reporting is vastly different than promoting.

Every time i ever accidentally stood close to his nose inside the red circle, Repel blew me straight sideways. Its either a good Succor/Adlo crit or Stoneskin providing an absorb for the Repel.
As a warrior you can use Holmgang to root yourself just before repel hits. As a dragoon you can learn time Jump just as repel hits to teleport back to the the wall after landing.

Anyone who even needs to resort to this should just quit the game ahead of time, Healer or not, Repel is easy to dodge and doesn't hinder DPS or healing by very much at all if anything. Demon wall is such an easy fight that anyone can beat it by repeatedly smashing a fist into their keyboard, it requires no skill.

Lol some poeple getting so bent out of shape about repel cheats. Relax, I never said I was finding it difficult. Sometimes it's fun to beat the system is all.


wow... you don't even need to exploit the wall. he's pathetically easy.
This happens every now and then to my character, but I hate it. I'm not sure if it's safe to stand back to the left, since I've been delayed pushed a few times.
I'd rather do the fight correctly and not risk screwing my group over.
