Father Kymon might be OP?
I'm not sure what I always do wrong, or if it's even me or just the games. But resistances seem to matter only whenever it's suitable, I have a character 95% fire resistance with 150% over max on ultimate. Yet father Kymon can almost one shot me with any fire skill, so can that guy in the bastion of chaos, the boss from the Ancient Grove, lots of bosses their fire skills seem to be OP. Is this just me or is it a common occurrence in RPGs (because TQ and D2 LoD seemed to have the same problem)

His Fire skills also do just as much Physical damage as they do Fire:

Plus one of the skills Reduces armor and the other Reduces DA. Plus he has an aura that further debuffs your OA, DA, and Elemental Resists.

Diablo-likes (and most any RPG-type games) primary mechanics for adjusting difficulty are always heavily based around resistances and debuffs of various sorts. This is par for the course. They are mostly always about the numbers.

I do gotta say, the way the main boss fights lock us in a phone booth with a super fast, rapid attacking, AOE, stun spamming bullet sponge is quite annoying. I did a Skeleton Key earlier where I was locked in plaza with swarms of some big fat fast moving flesh hulks or something. Banzai charged me with super speed, surrounded me and pummelled me. Pretty dumb. I lost all the loot the boss dropped....

The issue is probably your armor/hitpoints/defensive ability. He is an end game boss, after all.

Oh sweet summer child, people have reached level 100 in hardcore without picking a class or skills...

As for Kymon, him and the grove boss, both drop volcanoes under you, they have a horrible shotgun effect, if you stand on them it hits with all the projectiles. Stay mobile, oh and as Powbam said they usually do lots of physical damage as well, which can be brutal.

what are u talking about? seems like u never tried then,
after pushing twice through the content on softcore I managed to clear all story content on hardcore ultimate on my first try, only to then die to the 7th lvl in the sr, basic content isn't that hard if u are cautious the challenging part starts afterwards is what it felt like to me.

Eventually I defeated Kymon on Ultimate, not hardcore just don't like permadeath. And to be honest, the only hard things about him are the arena, way too small and Kymon takes up a quarter of it with his big fat butt. And the other are those volcanoes, they do way too much damage on Ultimate just way too much.

To me it just feels a bit OP some bosses still need some work, like that Kraken boss took like a half year or something before it was fixed. On Ultimate there seemed to be an invisible wall right infront of him because my character couldn't hit him. Killed him just a few days ago

Huh?? I killed the kraken boss the day it was released with my melee dude... I wasn't aware there was an invisible wall
