When I spawned the Wither he didn't freeze in place, waiting to build up his health and shields, he said,
"Screw it! I'm invincible now! Why not attack now?!"
So he flew around while his shields and health were still building up.

Withers are supposed to be dangerous, but this is ridiculous!

The Wither acts as if its health is low. It doesn't fly, and stays low to the ground.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this bug!
Confirmed for 15w31a; if 1.9 is going to be the Combat Update than this really needs to be fixed (unless players want to battle a mob that attacks while invincible and creates a huge explosion without giving the player a chance to run away).
:c i make this comand entitydata @e[type=WitherBoss] {Invul:500}
to make a friendly wither. This wither only atack mobs, does not atack player. Pleas make he comeback to the game. Combat update need some combat dificult. and is funny to live with a wither who can not atack the player 😞 sad face. The same you do with Giant and now the WitherBoss
