Eeeh idk I think the momentum of the genre has been consistently towards zooming and power fantasy for awhile now. I wish it wasn't personally but it is what it is.

It has been that way since the year 2001. Going fast and killing insane amounts of monsters at lightspeed is what the entire ARPG genre is founded on.

JonathonSpectre posted:All I can say is it is EXTREMELY frustrating to fight a boss for 5-6 minutes and get hit by something big because shift or whatever is on cooldown and get to start all over. I'm on the complete opposite side. Rahyeh is silly easy and every single ability he has is solved by just walking leisurely. Lagon still isn't particularly challenging mechanically, but you need a somewhat balanced build to deal with all the chip damage and some situational awareness to dodge the big attacks. Its a way more fun fight. I hope we get a Majasa monolith soon, thats a pretty cool fight that I wanna see at lvl100 The Little Kielbasa posted:I love souls games where I spend days grinding my molars into dust trying to beat a tough boss for a cool item. Going extremely fast while mapping (or monolithing I guess) and having mechanically challenging boss fights are not mutually exclusive though

Lagon isn't that hard of a fight once you get the telegraphs down. Eye turns red = laser incoming, be moving, he'll aim the laser at where you were when he started casting and sweep towards that side of the map IIRC. I don't think he ever goes all the way to the edge so you can always hide from it if you don't get hit by the initial tick. Do not try to dash through it. ducks his head down = 1 burst of laser Moon symbol on the ground = don't be in it He either raises his claw, or pulls it back to do the smash or grab attacks, but im pretty sure those are tankable. I usually end up just going back and forth between the 2 tentacles to dodge his various things. The waves are just cold damage so shouldn't be too bad if you have max cold resist.

if you just follow the waves around clockwise they dont even touch you. the other day i learned that you can actually skip the wave phase by killing him fast enough. had never done that before.

But even if it's only bosses that are hard, just thinking about "Melania's difficulty with Baal's loot table" makes my wrists, teeth, and brain hurt. I'm probably just bitter because my reflexes have always been garbage and certainly aren't improving in my dotage.
