I've been trying to do the dunes of despair bonus using the no timer "exploit" (necrotic transversal) and every single time the boss has been out of range. Its happened about 5 times now in a row for me. Has it been nerfed since the release of HM, I never had this problem with previous characters before.
This is in NM btw
Dunes of Despair no timer nerfed?

I think it's just bad luck, keep trying. I used the bug in HM a few days ago and it worked as usual.

I used it yesterday. I had to run the mission twice before I got a boss that was close enough to the south gate to kill and transverse. The spawning scarabs near the entrance bridge has never worked for me tho. Might just be bad spawns for me.

Same here for me. Used it over the weekend in hard mode. However the first time I went I had taken a hornbow with me. It didn't have the range to lure!
Make sure you have a flatbow or longbow!

I have only had Jades spawn a few times, they are rare.
I had one a few weeks ago, when helping someone from guild with exploration.
That was after two or three restarts.
Bosses might be in range, but if it's the Warrior boss, he will retreat to safe distance.
You can do two things: snare and nuke (with heroes) or restart and hope for a better spawn.
Ranged bosses will stay in aggro.

hey all,
Did the bonus only a few days ago with some guildies and the boss was too far away for longbow range. However we then went round the sides of the enclosure and got some scarabs to spawn. A quick blast and whoosh we were over the other side. Maybe we were lucky with the scarab spawn but its def worth a try.

It definitely isn't nerfed..... but trying to do it with heroes and henchies is suicide.
The entire area is absolutely SWARMING with Jade Scarabs... I tried to run as far as I could to get the heroes to warp out and follow me, but I didn't know which way to run to avoid the scarabs and ended up dying..... >_<;;
Its like there are hundreds of them out there...
I clearly need to change my build... -_-;
