What a waste of time. Low drop rates and frustrating boss fights where you can get one shot while a boss is immune to damage.
I’m happy that the boss fights have mechanics…it’s great…the first time. After that, it’s just an exercise in fruitless time wasting as you have to blow up 3 pillars or 3 adds, or portals.
Once you clear the boss fight the first time, they should just do away with the immunity phases.

You think it’s gonna change in the middle of season 8?

To be fair I think he’s just adding his two cents in the hopes it changes in the future. I agree with him. Now I may not be as frustrated as him, but I also dislike immunity phases.

Naturally not, but if enough people put their .02 out there as it being prohibitive to an enjoyable and engaging gameplay loop, things will change. That’s all this is.

In other words, you think these “Phases” are gonna stay in future seasons?
I think so. No more 1 shotting bosses in less then 5 seconds.
Not sure why Belial is different in this case though.
I think they will unless there’s enough backlash from the community. I am after what the devs originally wanted for us, which is the power fantasy of any Diablo-type game. When you get powerful enough, you should be able to one-shot any boss, no questions asked.
Now I have no issues with there being phases, and lulls in the combat, if you don’t have the damage to bypass the mechanics. However as soon as you do have the damage, you feel amazing, and that should never be hindered in my opinion. Especially when all you’re proving is the fact you can dance.
You should be rewarded for reaching the pinnacles of power, not hindered.

I wish they would at least make bosses spawn much faster after using the altars.
It’s rather tedious to wait 10 seconds every time we fight Duriel or Harbinger.
Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll log in to this damned game and check what these immunity phases feel like.
But not immediately, I’ll sit in my office pretending to work for a few more hours.
Edit: I’ve played 10 minutes this season. 5 minutes to clear my eternal stash before doing 1 T4 Duriel with my s7 Barb.
Took maybe 30 seconds.
I will not miss this game. I honestly don’t understand how anybody is still playing this. If you’re having fun, great. But I don’t get it.

People are still one-shotting bosses on T4. That didn’t change. What changed is now they’re bored for 30+ seconds per fight because the boss gets to shrug it off and waste time.

I suppose. I’m fortunate enough to be fine with either decision the dev’s decide to make. I’m grateful for that.
It’s the thought of getting a mythic that keeps them going for more, that or specific gear that only they drop.
Nothing wrong with that. I have no choice but to accept it, but given a preference, I would take no immunity phases what so ever. It feels like another time-gated piece of content amongst all the other time-gated pieces of content we already have.

Yes. They have players pulling the slot lever… because the bosses are nothing more than slot machines… they aren’t a fight or a challenge… they’re just a machine to keep feeding nickels into, with the expectation of losing.
So they have players pulling the lever over and over because it’s a necessary part of the loop… the difference is that EVERY time a reel stops, you have to pull the lever and wait again… and then again… and maybe again?…before finding out you didn’t win… again.
They made the bosses more interesting… once. They did not make farming bosses more interesting… they made it a worse chore.

Unfortunately that’s the only way blizzard now’s how to make boss fights.
Save your breath they won’t change it….hell my guess is that they will double down on this.

I agree 100%, the adding of the higher tier bosses having immunity phases was the most annoying crap for me in season 8. I think it made me quit quicker cause I just got tired of it. If that is their answer to blast builds by just making these phases to slow us down I am not impressed. Does blizzard not realize point of an ARPG is to blast away as fast as possible. They can be so brain dead sometimes on their design choices.
Imagine boss having imunity phases there as well…
Oh wait it does 
I managed to get the Switch 2 yesterday (Last Night)… any games similar to Witcher or sky rim or something?!
I Wish Dragons Dogma 2 was for the switch 2…
(NO ELDIN RING, game looks to effin hard)
MInority here. I speak for 2 players , we fine with them. We not strong enough to fight them on T4 yet but fights feel much better then all previous seasons combined.
Actually I wasnt doing boss fight with my guild since like S4 because it was tedious and boring activity…no matter the loot.
It felt like killing any boss in D2 with SF or CB …
No they can make boss fights over at Id software.
Never thought doom would do sword and board before d4 would…
But there ya go and here we are

Enahnced Azhrak even final Azhrak have bars which u have to fill before you can dmg him. In last fight u have to dmg his minion before u can dmg him, etc… cmon it’s exactlly same what OP doesnt like on D4.
EDIT: pretty sure noone cares and find it fun , including me. but you dont fight those bosses over and over like in D4 without even walking to them.
