They will find out if they stick long enough, even more when there a little alternatives that offered that boss in power, like the Ghost Ship Badge. Because you need 1 month to get one item and a few more weeks to fully scroll it its very possible no one will ever do Gollux again. Why spend 1 month of a super difficult daily boss when your guild carry can get you through Lotus/Mien and get you full Absolab by playing just once a week?… (more)
Buffing the Absolab overall would be a better soultion."BIS items should be from a boss on that level"? Ok, then let's buff the living $hit out of chaos vonbon and pierre, and only give 1 denaro per day for commerci reward.
Also Gollux was never "pathetically easy boss." Jesus, how condescending can you be? It's relatively easy boss for those with range in millions, full link skills and good legion, but it was never objectively "weak boss," with long potion use cooldown, need to move around to get rid of mobs to avoid death stack, fast AoE one hit kill pattern, and time limit to kill the forehead. It's why there were a lot of people asking for hellux carry in the gollux entrance.
Gollux has several difficulty levels that you can climb through, you could easily get two of the superior items without ever even touching the head.
Then for the drop only equips you could easily scale yourself up as you gained the DPS to handle it.
Back when I was actually using this broken equipment he was one of the first bosses I solo'd.
A very predictable pattern which was easy to dodge, a safespot on a platform for cheesing and a quick burst down on the gem.
He was pathetic. All you needed was enough range to burst down the crystal, which is an artificial DPS Check, the only "hard" part about this boss.
