Tolga and Fatin Rifts are Unbeatable

[Romual]

The title, how the ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to kill them? I found a rift and got spectral revenant or some ♥♥♥♥. I'm playing nightmare so I am used to bosses taking like 3-4 minutes of hits. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chewed through 5 yellow weapons and took around 20-25 minutes of nonstop hits to take down.

I'm level 7, just short of legend levels and amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedium is magnitudes more than main game. What the actual ♥♥♥♥ is going on? Are all other rifts on the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level or retardation?

That's the problem.

Nightmare was not at all balanced for anything but NG+ play. There is so much tedium jammed into every facet of gameplay when you are not running maxed out gear, weapons, consumables, have extra damage from LLevels, etc.

I remember those rift revenants taking a bunch of hits to kill on Hard NG+ (Nightmare wasn't out yet), and that was despite running top tier brawler armor that gave +70% 1h damage + maxed LL damage + high tier ~750dmg 1h weapons + max muscle booster.

Not having all of those bonuses on top of an even higher difficulty with lopsided scaling means you get to beat your head against brick wall enemies.
