Better comparison is Chromaggus. Using LoS to avoid the breaths? Not an exploit. Using LoS to avoid the afflictions? An exploit, and fixed quickly. Using LoS but attacking through it to avoid the breaths? An exploit, and patched so that anyone actively attacking Chromaggus was susceptible to breaths no matter where they were, hence the "turn off autoattack" frequent comments.

It's a fine line, but it's essentially "what does Blizzard intend to be avoidable compared to unavoidable?" Standing inside the door for Malcazeer turns it into a stupid tank-and-spank, and I can't believe that's what Blizzard intended.

I see, thank you for the explanation.

If it was just a boss that had an LOS attack, that you could use the dungeon architecture to avoid, that's one thing. But if the boss leashes at the door, and his spells and minions won't go through the door, and most of the raid can stand outside the door and get free hits, it does seem a little fishy.

If Blizzard does consider this an exploit, I hope it is patched, but then I hope the mega-content-patch they keep promoting is delivered sooner rather than later.
