Merely giving tips that you can then add to your strategy. Knowing how things work and what your options are is important if you are trying to move forward.
I fail at this sometimes but communication helps the most when dealing with the end bosses. Kiting with everyone on the same page helps tremendously.
Penguin rules! \m/
Thanx mate, cheers

It only works if you are host. If you have even a slight amount of lag you can still be caught by the attack even when sprinting. Evasion skills are far more consistent.

Here is a little video I put together. Shows myself dodging the boss's ambush 3 times off-host. I don't see how lag will affect this scenario unless there is noticeable rubberbanding.

I will admit that using evasion is safer, but it isn't always an option for every character or in every situation. This is simply another option.

Which difficulty though? He gives you a lot more time on routine than on threatening and perilous.

Is this even true?
And threatening.
*edit*
Here's a video I made showing a clip from routine and threatening of the DC using this attack. Might be a little difficult with the YT player but I was able to confirm there was no difference in timing for this attack from routine to threatening and I would assume perilous. Haven't had the experience or tried to party up to find out, though.
DC dodge by sprinting, routine vs threatening

Dodging that attack is pretty impossible as dwarven legionaire if you happen to have shieldwall up
For an Assassin, save your Flanking Attack for when the Demon Commander tries to port, as soon as you see the cue, hit flanking attack to dash out of the radius.
Flanking attack works much like Fade step, it covers just enough distance to get you out of the AoE safely but it's instant so you are more likely to avoid him even with lag.
Evade of the other hand is extremely buggy, sometimes it'll work, other times it'll snap you straight back to where you evaded from and you'll still got one shot. Volley is probably your best bet as an archer since it puts you up in the air, thus out of the way of his spinning arms if you get lag.
I'd say Warriors probably have the hardest time getting away from him in time (thanks to Latency issues), if anything that's a great enough reason for the Commander to at least have greatly reduced damage vs Warrior archetypes on his teleport spin.
Saw a Katari on low health charge the DC today while it was doing the fear attack. Katari died, GG.
At least they put all the the bullcrap into just one thing.
or have a keeper in your party with barrier passives and turtle up and knock his face in.

You just had a good host, I've been one shot enough times off host trying to sprint, sprint jump, ledge jump and whatnot (clear path - no obstructions, no speed impairment) to claim that it's simply not reliable.
On host it works like a charm, off host is a bucket load of BS spilled all over you, the team and the innocent nug watching from its hole.
All of this is nice in theory and is probably easier solo than otherwise but rarely do you gt the luxury of just being able to dodge the commander and not worry about anything else. The ancillary bosses, the projectile enemies and the fact that you have team mates that go down means 90% of the time the team fails vs the commander in pug if you stick in the back rooms. I still maintain that is a dumb start for that enemy class. Far easier to avoid the commander in the open area and roam as a team or duos picking off enemies than the kill fest in the opening area when the tank gets overrun.
He is definitely not very difficult to dodge as long as you are aware of your surroundings. I did learn the other day that Fallback plan doesn't always work to dodge his attach though. It gave me a good laugh.

Shenanigans! It's just like Banshee magnet hands!

Nope, Banshee could only one-shot one team mate. DC can one-shot multiple players.
Yeh as host you can just jump it, good rubberband gets you killed no matter what ability you use :/
Yeah, they could reduce the AoE of the pop-up attack slightly and it would help with the latency issues. Right now it is just large enough to make avoiding difficult unless you are host, have a good connection to the host, or a proper evasion skill. Other than that he is fine.
That might be true for you, but its not what I am experiencing. Even beginning to sprint once he goes underground,there's no guarantee that I will escape his attack off-host. And no, im not running into things/enemies/teammates, and neither is my router a spaghetti noodle.
Any solutions besides jumping and negating the attack, o mighty DC dodger?
