Hagbane can go through all armour up to a CW. It can even go through Stormfiends armour. Even if the initial damage hit is low, the DoT’s will kill off the target. 2-3 shots in the body is enough to kill a blackfur. Or simply 1 and then melee it. The poison will spread to all the trash mobs around it so you can just focus on the important guys while the trash dies from the DoTs. No other bow beats the hagbane on legend xD

Oh yeah, I know dw - might’ve come across differently but I meant other ranged weapons rely more on headshots to deal full damage potential, but that luckily they’re not ineffective against the Chaos Spawn like they are against most armour 
I’ve been playing a lot more with hagbane lately and have been quite enjoying the hidden strengths of it that take a bit to get the hang of/most potential out of, it’s a great bow to staggerlock half a patrol with if your team otherwise cannot deal with them and you lack bombs/conc potion etc, that way they can quickly kill the shieldvermin as you take a few out with the gas before the group rounds up the remainders together with you c:

hagbane bow setup is like COME AT ME BRO for bosses, incredibly fun especially with a str pot =P
in relation to this thread… well, chaos spawn seems more dangerous - but this goes in line with the entire chaos faction in general. in the lore, the ratties LOST ubershriek, they got chased out of the city, and they had to ally with the chaos army precisely because their units are much stronger than the skaven.
Which doesn’t really make for good game balance though. If I stack power vs. something, it is usually chaos. I am fine with some bosses being more aggressive and whatnot, but I really think the spawn should have some mechanics that make it a little more in line with the other bosses. Like what was suggested being able to cut the tentacle of, that’s seriously one of the best ideas I have read so far on this board.
Well you can hold the Rat Ogre on 1 Point and kill him without taking any damage. ^^
The Chaos Spawn is hard yeah, but only if you don´t have some Area to kite…
Yes the Troll is slow etc, but he is personally more Annoying… His attacks are nearly all Blockbreaking and he regenerate his Life permanently… You can 1v1 every Boss, but not really the Troll… (Maybe as Shade or Huntsman)
But yeah it´s annoying that the Spawn has no weakness like the 1 point Ogre-Kite or something…
You can also dodge dance Troll just as Roger
Bosses are fine. One thing I would do is buff the SF, clearly the weakest.
A chaos spawn can be soloed as long as you k now his attack animations and what to do for each one (dodge vs block). Many people don’t, because many people don’t take the time to go onto a lower difficulty and just solo bosses to get a feel for their behavior.
In short. Bosses don’t need to be made easier. People need to just be better, something that you just have to deal with (this is why I only play characters that can do at least 2/3 of a miniboss HP on legend - RIP IB bardin).
I wasn’t asking for making anything easier, I want bosses to be more in line, which does include making the Stormfiend a little more hazardous, but I don’t like the way some bosses are just blatantly more powerful than others simply by being stronger in every aspect when compared to others. I would like to see different approaches being made to their difficulty. Because it is true, bosses by themselves are not difficult at all, that’s why the AI director always throws a horde at you with them. The idea of bosses having multiple phases is actually in the game, sort of, with the Lords and KIND of with the troll. The idea that you might be able to cut of the spawn’s tentacle is absolutely brilliant, it might even cause it to “bleed out” but make it otherwise more dangerous, more vicious, etc. Same with the troll, it would be really cool to disable its regeneration in some way, or disable the Stormfiend’s warpfire throwers (or maybe one of them) with the result that it does different attacks and behaviour.
lol…
Bosses are fine
I always play the class that kills them
I don’t see a problem with this
Everything’s fine as long as you don’t use the content that’s bad.
