It is not normal when you tear apart T2 oneshotting anything except lair bosses (they just die for seconds) and then you go to T3, and all seems good except… super robust lair bosses (even Varshan, Zir etc). 45-50 Pit bosses are much easier then T3 LB. Just nerf their health down, maybe for 15-20%. Thanks.

The forced phases are totally crap, and then added mechanics higher tier lvl, not about how much dps you can throw down, but how good are you at dodgeball

Anyway 99% of these masochists play top-tier meta for superquick progress.
I never play by guides and play 99% of time solo. This season I try bone-necro (bone spear + storm combo, crits, no OP). And know what? I like it. But T3/T4 balance is not so good yet. I run T3 fast except LB. 50 Pit is done for 5 mins.
I think idea of four Torments was erroneous. T3 seems like sweet spot for late endgame for the most builds.
Bosses are way overtuned in comparison to their difficulty tiers. I play a S tier build, my gear has all the correct stats and is fully masterworked, i shred through most T4 activities with ease, yet i can barely do lesser T4 bosses, and the bigger bosses, Duriel, Andariel ect. are a complete no go. Again, this is with a S tier build, i cant imagine how people who dont play top meta builds struggle this season.
Bosses need a nerf in my oppinion, They have too much health, and oneshot mechanics are not fun, we established that a long time ago with Season 4 pit bosses.
Oh, and please revert the unskippable phases, its just annoying. Games are supposed to be fun, not annoying and frustrating. Season 8 overall is fine, not great, not terrible, but the boss reworks are a step in the wrong direction.

Totally agreed.
I storm T3 except LB. I kill lessers, but slow. No try for greaters yet. T3 Urivar’s or Zir’s some attacks just oneshot my necro who perfectly live on 50 Pit.
u guys ever stop and think about why you want to oneshot the bosses? like why is it so annoying that u can’t oneshot them? of course it’s annoying when there is a halt on progress but there’s something else also:
the bosses aren’t fun.
they’re alright a couple of times, maybe, but ultimately they aren’t fun. the game is about killing hordes of monsters, beat 'em up good; it’s not about killing a single big guy, or 1v1. the game handle that poorly and i figure that’s because, core, all enemies are punching bags. like the boss is more an environmental hazard than an opponent.

We are talking not about oneshotting of bosses. I just want smoother Torment 3/4 difficulties progression regarding LB. I have nothing even against unskippable phases and some their oneshotting attacks with huge damage.
yea, i get that. but i think you misunderstand me: i’m not against oneshotting bosses. and neither am i against unskippable phases. i’m not even against the boss oneshotting. it all depends on the game how it should be, and that’s what i point at: the game does bosses badly, imo, even if there’s been some improvement recently, and this leads to people wanting to skip them more or less, because it’s just not fun. and in particular it’s not fun to do 200 of them consequtively. this is also aggravated by people looking for the loot they need to kill the bosses, from the bosses, so they can’t get it, and that the bosses are getting pretty hard, especially if you don’t have the loot you need to kill them, which, as was said, may only be procured from said bosses. it’s the moment 22 where the key’s in the locked box which cannot be opened because the key’s inside the box.
yea, sure; reduce their health. sounds reasonable with 20-25%, perhaps even more. it would help somewhat. but i’m just saying that it won’t actually help.
It will help immensely.
Yesterday my necro was oneshotted by Urivar on T3 (6K health, 6K shield, fully fortified, about 50% DR, block DR etc.). Then I went to Infernal hordes and got almost 1300 aether! It’s my record. Got insane Hellborne offerings.
I just want ancestral Lidless Wall and Deathless Visage with some GA and good rolls. Got some at T2, but with bad rolls. Especially want DV with + to Bone spear skill GA affix.
No, not the core issue. The hitpoints just ain’t it, which is my point, but I hope they do it and help you then.
Oof, but how does that relate to… No, right. Well, cool then.
Very nice, I’m happy you’re out there making it happen.
For me… I just don’t see it, friend; lost your vision. Cherish it, it’s precious.
Yea, I get that; good luck, sincerely.
Got DV with 1 GA exactly + to bone spear today.)) Not so lucky masterworking though (+14 eventually, 28 in total, 2 tries went to essence). 3 skill points difference between normal DV (yellow +11) gave almost 12-13% spear dmg increase. Not bad.
P.S. No lair bosses nerfing in upcoming 2.2.1 patch.

I just dislike that bosses like Lillith, Duriel, Andariel and Harbringer have dmge immunity.
Oh you invested alot of time in your build and do alot of dmge… well listen here the boss will keep attacking you and be immune to all dmge for a while till it decides to transition into a phase where you have to dodge or be insta killed for a minute.
Repeat 3x per boss.

I just tried T4 yesterday. Damn. I have almost 40 points in Bone spear, can grind helltides, ordes etc, but barely do damage to lair bosses. I slowly killed all except Andariel, Harbinger and Urivar. They are 100% needed to be nerfed. Funny thing that Belial has less health than others.))
Unskippable phases are not good things for sure. Some are not so bad (Duriel, even Belial and Harbinger), but Lilith and Andariel…
