    Honey B

    I don't know what is wrong with this encounter of if its lag but i swear every damm time i do this fight some errant bee servant knocks me into the outer aoe and I'm dead this time it happened on my tank and i could swear there was no line when i side stepped. i just appeared right underneath me. I am getting really tied of dying to this stupid encounter.

    If I'm remembering correctly, the side-Bee attacks have two phases of visibility:
    1. In the beginning, the side-Bee's have an effect that shows the direction they're going to go from their starting point. However, this doesn't show their entire flight path! They will go all the way across the arena, but this marking only goes about halfway across the arena. This effect hangs out for a few seconds, giving you enough time to react to it if you happen to see it.

    2. This is when the damage marker actually appears on the floor over the full area the attack will hit; it's very brief so at this point you are unlikely to be able to dodge it if you're still on it.
    So my guess is that you are being hit by bees on the opposite side of the arena from you that you didn't notice, that you missed their initial marker and are only learning that they exist once their secondary marker appears under you and you get hit.

    It's you, not the encounter.

    As said in the 2nd post, the green arrow goes approx 1/2 the diameter of the arena, but the attack goes all the way across. If you're a ranged, or if you're in melee and not looking on the other side of the boss (who can block your visibility), it's easy to lose track of one that's going your way.
