Whats the appeal of the Exarch bullet hell, for example? It is nigh impossible to time it correctly 2-3 and more times in a row and Maven is, of course, sitting right there and obscuring your view. The game is not meant to be a skill-based platformer so this "playing the boss mechanics" is as much BS as trying to avoid the traps in the Lab - just cheese them and get it over with.

I wasn't expressing praise for any particular boss designs. Hell, I haven't even played the Exarch fight, I have no idea what it's like.

If I didn't like certain entirely optional parts of the game, I just wouldn't play them, is all. You do you.

They should make the contrary. A boss completely immune with 0.5s non phase occasionnal damage opportunity while he plomps dot ground all over the screen and explodes everywhere.

Meta slaves would flood the entire planet with tears if they done that. Wait out and see what happens in PoE2 for any meaningful changes. Also phases are garbage in any video game I am sorry. The problem is that there is just too much of a gap between builds and people take the easy route with OP builds, so GGG doesn't need to address the issue.

Any suggestion or idea for this iteration of PoE will be falling on deaf ears.

Yes, please. Make this game even more annoying, I too want D4 to start with a larger player base. I'll even do you one better, lets get to the roots of bullet hell games and make our toons die by one hit and also let there be no portals. Of course, there should be a penalty for dying - a player should lose a level on each death, and after they've died a certain number of times, each subsequent death should make them lose a maximum level for that toon.

We should not neglect balance and do away with accuracy - both us and the mobs should have 100% hit rate, and to balance our overwhelming damage, there should be more self camouflaging on-death effects, also with 100 kill rate. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

to be able to 1 shot what can 1 shot you is a fair situation .... can we get immortal phase ? no ,so bosses doe'nt need more of them. final point.

Maybe but its development hell if you are serious.

The OP brings up a fair point. The boss mechanics in so many fights are such bullshit, or hard to see because visual clarity is the worst in any arpg ever made, that the obvious solution is to dps skip them.

They designed the Boss to 1-hit you anyways regardless of defense investment, so what's the point.

Hell even Ziz (and other streamers) uses a logout, so he can portal back into the fight and use the character invulnerability time to skip mechanics. How amazing lol.

Then again who really cares overall? The percentage of players farming aspirational bosses is so fucking small in the grand scheme. They should probably focus more on QoL, in-house tools, visual clarity, performance, and loot progession. Those are way more important than getting bullshitted in a boss fight for the chance at some <1% loot.

Its an unavoidable problem now that power creep has gotten to the level it has, the game feels easy aside from a few pieces of content with 3mil dps but players can do 100x this if they want to.

All the solutions for that are bad as they are all artificial, damage caps, phases etc. Its trying to stuff the genie back in the bottle but it can't be done. Bullshit on the floor is also the same thing just from the tanking angle.

So I agree with OP but simultaneously there is no solution its just a bad choice out of a bunch of bad choices. I would give bosses some minimum reliable damage for example and cut down portal access but probably make them quicker to unlock (basically more likely to fail if you don't have a well rounded character and execute correctly) but this is personal bias. What I like someone else will hate. Not to be rude but many players crutch all the content in the game currently with dps and portals because we are encouraged to do so.

been done before, did not change anything, 6 months later op will see the same story.

Play "ruthless" if you want some sort of long challenges

Lol. I have been unable to kill end game bosses. EVERY BUILD which is show cased short of those which require currency I could never get my hands on turns out to be a dud. This is my last attempt, I am making a glass cannon (I'm used to being as defensive as possible). It's standard, it's expensive (but not out of my range) and it's a glass cannon. DO I CARE that it'll 1 shot bosses? NO! not anymore, not after being fed lies again and again with "oh see this video, we kill bosses lickity split" and then...IT DOESN"T WORK. It's never that simple.

I see this title and all I see is "Take my hope away". Go feed yourself to Kitava plz.
