I appreciate that bosses were reworked and I understand they can't have too many hands to keep intents memorable, but the biggest discrepancy and reason they tend to be overtuned is that their only flaws are a lack of relics and a curse or two.

In exchange their consistency was cranked up to 11. Where are the leftover strikes? Where's the twin strike that Barricade Chad needed to survive act 1? Where's the preupgraded dagger spray that Poison Silent picked up to improve her Reptomancer matchup?

It's cool that they actually feel like bosses with exclusive traits like how Downfall's playable bosses are much more than carbon copies of their vanilla equivalents, but the numbers speak for themselves. Might add more comparisons later.


More in line but I bet a 59 damage nuke was coming:


And straight back to shiv nonsense territory. I prolly even forgot a few cloak procs.
Note: You need 30-38 attack damage each turn to benefit from Wrath as much as Watcher does, but I suppose the kill turn only benefits you.


This one's in an ok spot. The first 2 voids practically mean it doesn't block because you're not gonna bother attacking, so the effective hp and damage variance are a touch lower than calculated. It's like guardian with a way longer but reasonable dps check. I still think each cycle's overall value could be lower though.
