Has something changed with the AI response to Diablo SP1?

Maybe I missed an update, but I thought the AI is supposed to be stunned during Diablo's SP1, allowing you to dash in after diablo dashes back to drink a potion.

It seems the AI recovers after Diablo dashes back now.

Has anyone else experienced this? It makes gaining vials of might a bit harder.

    The AI was stunned but they didn't use to attack.
    I used to do the same with Prof X but got whacked by a special the other day. Maybe they have changed it.

    It's been a while since I used him so figured I was missing something. Thanks all.

    I noticed this happening far more frequently now yeah. The unwritten code is that if you actually strike them with Diablo's sp1 they wait until the drinking animation is over to attack. They always attacked if they blocked or evaded the special, but once hit they'd hang back.

    Not any more. It feels more like 50/50 from my own recent uses of him during act 8.1 exploration.

    It also depends on the distance between you and the opponent. If you use the SP1 when the opponent is against the wall they’re less likely to try and retaliate. If you’re against the wall they’re more likely to.
