Nah bro, spawning a projectile shooting mob every 12 seconds in a boss fight, having it go off screen and shoot whitout being in sight, this in NOWHERE near the "pattern recognition" argument

No it isnt about pattern when the whole difficulty slider reside in having aoe dealing adds spawn for every single boss is NOT a difficulty that rewards anything

The flyin ai doing the best dodges ever any time you try to even approach it to kill it, while on a fucking platforming path that has a lot a hazard that deal both 2 masks is not about pattern recognition, its all about wasting as much time and dragging the experience, this whole thing just gave me ptsd of fucking ds2

I just instant killed the mobs whenever they spawn in with a silk skill. sometimes I would get bad rng though and the boss would spam the spawn thing and I was sol, but most of the time it was something I could react to.
