Malachai‘s melee smash can hit you right after you zone in, if you zone out while he is teleporting

I died immediately teleporting into the second phase of the Malachai fight. It appears that I got hit by his teleport aoe immediately after breaking immunity.

When I ported out of the zone Malachai was off screen, when I came back in he was stood directly on top where my portal was and thus also my character. I opened a new town portal and clicked to run away from him, thus breaking immunity. Then I heard the boom that is the sound effect for his melee aoe (much like Dominus' "touch of god") and was immediately dead from full health/es, before I even moved.There was no animation and Malachai didn't move.

The way I understand it teleporting out of a zone completely disengages all mobs, thus stopping any attack they may have been executing. Apparently there is a bug in this case of this two part attack of teleport -> aoe where the second part of the attack can remain queued when the player exits the zone if they leave the zone at just the right time during the execution of the teleport.

just died to this. with all their fucking "bug fixes" they didn't get rid of this garbage.

First they overtune the fight to balls. and now this. did they even play the fight? who designed it? they should be fired.

rage off.
