Massive boss damage

[Stormtempter]

I've been in a few normal strike runs where upon we reach the boss and without using a super activation, someone manages to hit the boss for nearly all their health, often causing the boss to skip one or more phases.

I vividly recall one match of The Corrupted, where we didn't even go to the final ascended area. The witch was blown away before she even left the crystal area you first fight her.

What are they using or doing to manage this feat?

One part abusing OP weapons like Izanagi's burden, Anarchy or maybe Wendigo

One part using exotic armor that boosts dmg like Celestial Nighthawk for hunter

One part stacking buffs like warlock empowering rift with well of radiance or debuffs like the weaken effect on titan top tree solar

It's the izunagi burden, you can combine 4 sniper bullets into one super bullet.
There is no reason not to use the izunagi, it turns PvE content into a joke, it's exactly like Ghallerhorn from D1.

look out for ppl using high damage heavy exotics like 1k voices or anarchy

Celestial Nighthawk + bottom solar + precision shot is 100k damage. Most strike bosses just keel over unless they have invulnerability mechanics.

Good to know. I gotta get Shattered Throne finished for the Izu, sadly its not a matchmaker strike.

Celestial Nighthawk (an exotic helmet for Hunter). Depending on the modifiers of a particular match, my ultimate with that helmet can 1-shot a lot of bosses. As you mentioned, I'm often able to end a boss before it reaches its final phase.

It's either the celestial nighthawk or it's the 1-2 shot peregrine greaves...

Nighthawk time baby! Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ execute bosses with bottom tree gunslinger. Also, Whisper of the Worm, Izanagi's, DARCI(I guess i'm pretty sure it isn't as strong as the other snipers but still great), Wendigo, etc are all insanely powerful
