End game one hit deaths
So i've been playing Wolcen since it was officially released and while i agree with most of the threads about Boss difficulty being too much of a jumpt from the rest of the act, and the many bugs, and the input lag and that all these need to be fixed, I think a major problem needs to be addressed with the end game content. I have been running the expeditions and mandates and a common problem keeps occuring... If you choose to make a dps build for your character, almost all the boss mobs you have to kill (and some of the elite packs) have the capability to blow through all your shields and health in one hit. Whether it be an exosuit nuking you instantly with the lightning laser from the sky, or one of the butcher copy demons pulling you in with the chains and one shotting you because the input lag delays your dodge roll, or one of the Yudai demons does his circle of spinning orbs and catches you, or an aurora knight does his teleport aoe attack, all seem able to kill you instantly unless you've specifically built tanky, and i'll be honest, some people may like just being an immovable object but I think even more people (including myself) find it right up there with watching paint dry.
Now, having said that, i agree that if your building your character as a glass cannon type you need to be on your toes and avoid damage as much as possible, however the boss attacks combined with frequent groups of lesser mobs and on some maps the telegraph of the incoming attack almost matches the color of the ground means it can be quite easy to get nailed by any of the above.
Now it seems people are quick to demand bosses be nerfed but honestly i think most of the boss mobs fight mechanics are pretty fun, but when one moment of burning down yet another column of purifiers gets you instantly killed, i believe change is required, and I think all it takes is less adds. Thats all. Make the boss battles about fighting the boss. Not like an episode of Batman where the boss stands on the sidelines and sends the entirety of his human resources departement at you.
