Anyone else come across this?
I was doing a routine solo with a level 7 Keeper for the weekend challenge, which took me longer than a care to admit, and right before I finished off the Darkspawn Commander he charged himself up and sent out a sort of "last ditch take them out with you" explosion, ending himself and taking out a chunk of my life with it.
Thought it was a strange because he didn't do this when I was soloing with the Silent Sister.
Thought it was gonna take me out entirely. I could just imagine having that happen on NM, think i'd have to step away from the game for a bit after that.
I might have done a chain lightning, not too sure. I thought it might have been because I took forever kiting all the genlocks. You know, if you take too long, you get the "deathplosion"
i think the commander has to cast a spell or something before he dies to trigger the explosion. Every time we have killed him super fast (like 1-2 seconds) he doesn't blow up, but when we take a little while to kill him he seems to do it almost every time. perhaps there is a certain animation he has when he cast his "EXPLOSION" spell.

Ive taken EA out as the first enemy before (less than 30 seconds) and he's still exploded, so it wouldnt exclusively be a long fight.
You can bypass the explosion animation with any attack.
The EA will attempt an explosion attack around 5% health, so as long as you deal enough burst damage before that threshold and bypass it, he won't do the attack. Unlike the RTC, there is no health "lock" so that doesn't happen. Once he does the animation though you won't be able to damage him.
Same bug existed in beta.
I assumed it was a health threshold thing. Killed him very quickly with the Assassin a few times today, and the explosion didn't happen once.
Good to know.
I take it stand behind a wall or a sizable amount of cover also prevents you from taking damage correct? (I'm aware of the explosion, but I just want to make sure).
