Ridiculous amount of boss one shotting ruining the game
There are bosses that basically one shot you with half their attacks. These fights can last 10 mins or longer. The one shots are constant. Honestly this is ruining the game. I was really into this game but the bosses being a slog with just tons and tons of one shotting is getting old.

My opinion of this game went from 10/10 to 5/10 just like that. Tone down the one shotting. No one enjoys it OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER. The boss I am at you cannot see on the screen. A boss doing over a 100 or more one shots in a fight is silly.

I no longer recommend this game to anyone.

How does damage prevent one shots?

Are we supposed to insta kill these bosses like Diablow 4?

You need better gear. Also ALL of the "one shot" attacks are extremely telegraphed, you need to dodge them.

The bosses during the campaign rarely one shot. They usually leave you at 10 or 20% health if you are at an appropriate level. There are some 1 shot mechanics, but they usually have a long windup with the boss glowing red. Most if not all special attacks from bosses are dodgeable.

Fights do not take 10 minutes unless your build/weapon is dog tier. Upgrade your weapon frequently and make sure you are taking damage nodes, etc.

You should never take 10 minutes to kill a boss. With your damage that low the boss should be one-shotting you on a regular basis because you are far too low geared to be doing that fight.

Bosses should die in about 30 seconds or less unless they have drawn out multiple stages.

Could you post your footage of you killing bosses in 20 seconds or less please?
You can join the group on Facebook. I'm eager to see and learn.

Lemme go clear a map, and I'll record, I'll try to get a unique boss.
My lightning arrow deadeye will kill any red boss from a T15/T16 map in less than 10 seconds, they don't even get to play, they get stunned and instantly die.

No need to post on Facebook, because thousands of other players have already posted videos of the same.

Damage is important for the stun on the boss, and so you don't have to spend 10 minutes rolling around.

Pinnacle bosses don't last much longer.

OP needs to work on his gear and build.

DPS builds get one shot, tank builds do not. I'm running irradiated lvl 15 maps, I've died 77 times and I have never been one shot. Late game bosses take about less than 2 minutes to kill as a 1h shield tank.
