Give Bosses atleast ONE vulnerability

jsut fought agains the mayor in grahtwood (gold veterancy content from EP)
and it was like...are you kidding me?
he has over 14k hp
he can completely stun us with "kneel before me"
he can freeze us with his ice thing
he can summon three types of undead (skeleton, bone golem, flesh golem)
he turns invulnerable every few seconds
he can knock us through the whole room
he is immune to all cc or other effects
he can shoot unblockable skulls of doom (they killed me while i was cloaked)

i mean...seriously...it would be boring if every single boss would be easy where you can stand in front of him and kill him with regular attacks.
but bosses like this? how did it pass the balance test? thee is no weakness that you can use against him. nothing in the room that can hurt him...we are supposed to take damage while nuking him to death, because we cant block his attacks? and we cant even take cover because he can shoot through walls? wtf? thats not a good boss design, thats just overkill

    sadly...some bosses (far not all) are just way too hard and unblanaced...and some are like "wait...that was a boss?"

    That was a hard boss?! Didn't notice.
    Sure, the "Kneel before me" thing was irritating, but he was pretty easy to take down @ equal level.

    Just move around and kill the adds. He doesn't stay invulnerable for very long.

    His "kneel before me" attack is a bit annoying but he isn't hard to beat. Think it through. Try new things. I made sure I had a couple of skills to heal me and potions ready. Also switched a few other skills around to get some AoE damage on him and such. Made sure to save some stamina to dodge roll out of any AoE he put down.

    He's easy if you try new things. Which is the way it should be. You should have a challenge when coming up to a new boss that requires you to think up a good strategy.

    The bosses in this game are easy and do not need to be nerfed more than they already have been.

    A lot of the boss encounters in veteran content is like a "mini-raid" so to speak. Once you figure out how to handle the encounter it's actually pretty easy to do.

    No.
    ITs not developer fault if you rush trough content and when reach a hard situation blame the game, im sure there are viable options to defeat it, if you lack skills then go play some more and learn, go find some other skills that fit this boss fight instead of claiming it to be more easy so you can use a single strategy on him like a piece of cake.

    had to download an addon to see how much health he has left.
    under 25% i could nuke him with Killers Blade.

    but thats not the point.
    all bosses can be defeated, but some of them have advantages far beyond fairness.
    this boss was a case of pure RNG.
    if he summons the skeleton or the flesh golem - not a problem. if he summons only the bone golem who is like a miniboss himself - stupid fight.
    i had fights where he summoned 4 bone golems in a row, i had fights where he put me into "kneel before me" each time i was standing up from the last one.

    boss fights should be about your own skill, not about RNG and hope that he has not such a stuipd rotation. isnt there a way to let them NOT use the same ability over adn over again?

    not to mention the current projectile physics...it cant be that they can hit you through walls and you cant dodge them as soon as they are traveling...
