I think GGG knows how to balance...then I play Xesht...and remember they don't

I can't think of something off the top of my head as poorly designed as some of these pinnacle bosses. It confirms that GGG has the simplest, most single-minded definition of engaging, and it goes a little something like this...

GGG: "What should we do to make it more engaging....hmmm...oh, 1 shots."

Other GGG employee: "Do you have any other ideas?"

GGG: "Nah, I'm fresh out"

Other GGG employee "Alright, I guess we'll just do that then".

That is honestly all GGG has in the basked apparently to make it engaging. Probably about 90% of these pinnacle bosses moves are 1 shots, which means to beat them, you pretty much have to play perfect with almost no margin for error given to you by GGG. There is no strategy, no real engagement between the bosses, or learning. Everything they do is a 1 shot, so no matter what build you have, the goal is the same. Dodge everything and bring them to 0 as quickly as possible.

After playing something like FF7 Rebirth, it's so clear GGG is out of ideas. In FF7 the bosses have different health bars, moves, play styles and levels of threat. Some you need to kill quickly, others you parry and block and play slow, while others have weak and strong movies. Not everything is a 1 shot, you can learn their strengths and weaknesses and adjust your builds as needed, adjust your team...all that stuff.

GGG does none of that. It's just everything is a 1 shot. That is not dynamic. That is tedious as s***.

Fix your build.

Meaningful combat for pinnacle bosses, particularly T4, is a complete failure. The only reliable way to overcome the challenges is to DPS so hard that you don't actually have to engage with the mechanics.

Xesht is pretty up there - I'd put Arbiter at the top, particularly because of how much investment is required that can be lost in a flash - due to actually impossible mechanics (the last time I attempted, two safety circles spawned on literal opposite ends of the arena such that I could only reach halfway with +38% movement speed). The overabundance of continuous one-shot kills is just so egregious to me.

People that play with 10k ES and one click erasing can ONLY assuming bro....

I want these people give my character to play in Xesht T4. My Char has 1700 life abd no ES. And then they will realise the unbalanced classes.

I bet on a "Have you considered not dying?"

Even not a proposal for an omen of .... kindness, for sure.

Undoubtedly predictable, remaining also underwhelming
