Intermediary bosses

That you can get red items by kill the bosses is nice but seriosly they have far to much life, in my opinion.
In D5, I tried no lower levels maybe they are a little better life points wise in lower difficulty?
From about 20 runs i could only kill them 2 times and it was both a extremly close call, due to the time.
Well and i died a few times because i tried to kill the bosses and got to much damage from the other mobs, a bit more tweaking would be nice.

Even at 50% health they have too much health rn

Only high DPS builds can kill them. Most classes cant kill them. Better to ignore them if you cant dent them. Theyre pretty easy to ignore in my opinion, as long you got enough speed by then. Just make sure to kill that one mf'ers eggs before they hatch. If you dont then youre in trouble

The Chef is kind of an ass though, especially with his final phase random lines. The Charger can be pretty bad if he spawns during a wave with a lot of those fast shooting guys. Can't even tell who's shooting, let alone dodge all of it.

Overall, the elites have exactly the same problems as the final bosses: too unapproachable for far too many builds, especially melee ones.

I think the main problem not in their health, but in the fact that you need to deal with the wave too. If the main wave will be reduced by half, you can concentrate on Elite, evade their attacks and deal damage to them more efficiently.

But now in many cases lvl 11-12 elite is harder than any other wave/boss including final ones. I usually just try to survive even at D3, if i don't have overpowered char/run.

I tend to feel like the last Elite is fine, while the earliest Elite is very hard. Perhaps their damage/HP should scale based on what wave you face them, with the wave 18 Elite as the current "base" and lower waves all being weaker. If they already do that, the scaling should be more intense.
