Zarokh Attacks Continue After Death

I absolutely love this game, guys. But there really needs to be a change to Zarokh's lightning attack. It continues after you kill him, so you're standing there looking at the drops, ready to go get your ascendancy points, and it'll kill you very quickly, even a top tier character. Then you're left looking at the loot you can't get and the portal and final ascendancy points you can't have after a 45 minute run. There isn't even a window to respawn due to death or failure. I had to crash the game and restart, and of course, no portal to my items or points. It's fine if the final trial is hard and takes a few tries, but that just sucks man. It's a boss-level, on-death explosion.

Please y'all. The worst thing in an ARPG like is feeling like the time you're putting into it is wasted.
