My biggest complaint
There are 3 minibosses in the campaign are doing way to much damage. Titan colossus, silverfist ape and Blackjaw, The Remnant. Something seems not right.
Titan kills my 2k life char on normal difficulty with one shot. The ape with his slam does like 1500 damage and the roll does something very similar because it can hit you multiple times and blackjaw with his 3 part slams does the same.

I have tested these 3 bosses hundreds times and each one of them doing 99% of times relatively low damage, besides 1 certain attack for each.

My observations:
If you stand directly in the face of them they doing like 20% of damage from what they are doing if you stand further away from them.

My guess is that the slams itself aren’t doing to much damage but the mud/stones which getting churned/thrown from the slam on the ground can shotgun you with multiple hits at the same time.

I think some bosses are just kryptonite to some builds.
Got a sorcerer doing firewall, solar orb and other fire attacks fighting the viper boss, i walked through everything so far but this one boss has aoe rain attacks indicated by circles on the ground i mostly can't see because of my own attacks.
On top of that i'm kitted for energy shield that she just straight up bypasses with her damage types.

I've also ssen people complain about the forge boss because his fight is timed so defensive/melee builds struggle against him.

When you get to a situation like that pretty much the only option is to make major changes to your build which is hours possibly days finding the right gear to alter your build to beat them.

None of these especially stick out to me, meaning that they didn't kill me or leave any lasting experience for my sorceress and witch. It might be a melee thing, which would be fair enough. Some bosses are harder for some playstyles.

That dumb Gorilla can also kill you by his Roly Poly move if you get hit by it.

Hmm.. you might got lucky that the bosses didn’t do any of the above mentioned attacks. I might make a yt video to show my observations.

Not sure if it was just my build but I found all these easy, never died to them once. I use skeleton archers and warriors. I died to rares a few times but the only boss that killed me so far is the act 1 final boss, he killed me 3 times but got him on my fourth. I started to use a wall of fire to detonate my poison from the archers, I did not start doing that until the act 1 last boss though

That forge boss is annoying AF - not because he's hard but because build just can't do enough dmg even after taking all the dmg nodes.

I dunno every boss that i struggled with on normal run through was silly easy on cruel. You can power through bosses with gear and levelling. IMO most boss issues is a failure to understand how your spacebar works. Solve that issue and you can do bosses underleveled and under geared.
