I just did some quick manual reading that made me realize other fights would be better at making the point that shove is OP in this game.
This boss has multiple buffs and actions he's doing that make his shoves either more likely to land, more effective, and more often, while also making him virtualy impossible to shut down with CCs to help yourself.
Between Raging, Aura of Commandment, Terroize, Meance, Pushing attacks (different than shove- it can push people up to 15 feet as designed in DND), sometimes having 3-4 active at the same time, this guy is uniquely designed to do all the things he's doing. Not saying BG doesn't have a shove problem, just that this fight is biased in proving the point.
He also is using the weapon faithbreaker, which has an additional bonus action of pushing your target.
It makes for good entertainment though. What a badass. I haven't had a problem with him but in restrospect if i saw/knew all of this i would have stayed even more spread out / at range.
Also whats the translation for the paroles aceres buff he has? I can't find a google match. Also curious what aura of commandment does, couldn't find that either.
Edit: also just noticed his weapon (on all warhammers) is capable of "backbreaker", which can knock enemies down.
The list never ends.
