Diamora, Song of Death and the Problem of Talk-No-Jutsu

What is with this game and forced talk-no-jutsu invulnerability events during boss fights? Crowbell forced phases 99% reduction. Geonor having to call this person a manipulative whore, while being 99% reduction the last 30 seconds because his exposition takes too long. All the while you can still die to bullshit the entire time. (I know this is not an issue for the 15th time doing the campaign as these attacks are telegraphed from miles away and you can easily dodge all his stuff with prior knowledge, but on a first playthrough... wtf?)

Why do I need to play ring around the rosie while the Diamora, Song of Death spins in circles talking about "can you ignore the distraction" (lol boobays), all the while completely unhittable while I just twiddle my thumbs in boredom. Well I would, but I need to run in circles avoiding her gaze. I feel like I'm soloing Lady Vashj (another STELLAR boss fight from a different game...).

Also, doing this a melee is a joke. She is basically a caster who as soon as she is in a hittable state, puts water spouts on the ground, proceeds to stand in them because if you try to lure her out she will just stay in place and start casting. Then 10 seconds later she is back for a swim.

This fight is not fun.

This fight feels like a chore.

Please do better.

PS. If the boss has 99% reduction while it is doing EXPOSITION. MAKE THEM ALSO DEAL 99% LESS DAMAGE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

PPS. Please add more ways to utilise Volatility. It seems so cool for Acolyte, but the only unique in the game for it is a wand?

+1. Hated this fight.
