Zalmarath, The Colossus Knife Drag Bug

Also ripped with my overlevelled overgeared full tank build to his one shot bug. Seen many instances of people getting oneshot in hc to this bug.

I can facetank all his attacks so this is 100% an unintended oneshot bug. Especially since it hits you while far away from the dagger itself.

Specifically it is the swipe from right to left when the boss is at the right side of the area. If you're hugging the boss when the swipe goes off (impossible to predict), like warriors will be, you die instantly.

After this many videos and reports, not sure why gggg choose to not fix it?
A possible explanation by a response in another thread:

"
It's clear that when Zalmarath does his knife slash attack in some cases all the stones that must fly forward in the direction of the slash for a mysterious reason appear right on the character's position. No wonder it one shots. In a desired scenario, a character can not be hit by all the stones, because of the splash and a small character's hitbox, but in the case of a bug, they all hit a player at once and it results in one shot.

Let's keep bumping this issue once for a while and maybe GGG finally fix it.
I'm enjoying the game, but I'm a HC player. Softcore doesn't feel that good for me, and because of this bug, I cannot progress further.

Another new video example of someone not on the knife path hitbox yet getting hit for absurd damage:

Another new HC death by oneshot even though they were not on the knife path:

Same thing with me and my friend. 3 chars died to oneshot. After that we tried on softcore - we were catching almost all of his knife attacks and none of them killed us. Please fix it.
