Gahz'rilla is pretty overtuned IMO, the throwing in the air thing occurs way too often, and we wipe after wipe

Hmm, this spell is used at varying intervals on blizz, sometimes as long as 30-40sec between 2 casts, but only has a 10-11sec ICD, which means there is some variety as to how often it's cast and is somewhat unpredictable. He generally prioritizes other spells and doesn't use it on cooldown.

Epoch behavior also shows great variety, but the internal cooldown seems to be missing/incorrect and the boss is often super trigger-happy. Gahz can bounce you every 3-4sec if you get unlucky, sometimes you haven't yet landed when he throws you again. This is certainly incorrect and not only an annoying feature, as the bounce spell Gahz'rilla Slam also deals around 1k unmitigated damage, that begins to add up with chain casts.

Note, to test/reproduce this problem, appropriate level must be fighting the boss, as the Slam is resistible and won't often land on higher lvl chars.

The intervals on the throw seem much better and Gahz now uses the other abilities more frequently instead. This has resulted in a new issue: Gahzrilla slam can now coincide with the Freeze Solid ability. This is not a problem on its own. Normally when someone is frozen the rest of the group gets knocked and the person in the ice block just remains stunned on the floor. However, currently Gahz can throw you in the air while you are still frozen, and you'll end up flying while still stunned. This is not as impactful as the previous slam spam but should be corrected when possible.
