Saw this great thread on reddit and thought I'd spread awareness and share it here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/blxb6y/suggestions_around_artificial_difficulty/

Basically, it seems lack of proper balancing of resource management (pots, auto-pots), along with a class dedicated to HP (demon avengers) has led to Maple's current pathos on Boss design (hp% attacks, rng attacks, other mechanics) and gameplay (rip tanks, MMO triumvirate of dps-healer-tank, etc.). Would giving bosses boss-special set of potions ala Ursus fix this? Maybe have those boss-potions be specially balanced for DA's, be it effectiveness or quantity, since they rely on HP? Regular potions and auto-pot would be unusable in these fights of course.

    Personally I feel like some bosses are just overloaded with mechanics.
    If you remove one or two things from some of the bosses, they'd actually be a lot more fun to fight.
    I honestly don't mind the HP% attacks, but why must I worry about 3 different things trying to kill me, all at the same time?
