Issues: Party scaling, and Pinnacle bosses.

I'm aware according to the lectures posted on youtube etc. that scaling wasn't changed. Despite my dark sense of humor; at the moment the HP scaling with parties is counter intuitive.

What I 'think' is happening is that the scaling didn't change from the pre 0.2 patch/league, however due to the over all damage output drop unilaterally across all players/classes the extra scaling (unsure what the actual numbers are) but something like +70% hp per player. The 'more casual players' are having a hard time, even with cookie cutter builds, so they group up, which sadistically/ironically makes the game harder. If you have 3 players struggling in a level appropriate map and throw them together in a party, it will quickly become unmanageable, the current scaling needs to be addressed for group play. Simply put: Solo is easier, unless you have a player on the very high end (ie twinked gear, experienced player) adding additional party members makes the game play experience notably/significantly harder.

Second Issue: Pinnacle bosses. I would consider myself a 7/10 or 8/10 player. There are better players but I'm by no means a casual. I have solid builds, and top tier/near top tier gear. Even at level 90 I struggle to beat the pinnacle bosses with the damage drop (even at tier 0).
I managed to barely kill the ritual pinnacle boss (pre infinite respawns at tier0) despite me being able to walk through t15-t16 maps with little to no difficulty. after my 4th death. Considering I'm level 90 currently I have no idea how the 'average player' is going to take out a tier 1+ pinnacle boss.

For example: Ritual pinnacle boss at tier 1, I easily kill the first stage of the boss.. do the maze easily. 2nd stage of the boss, things going well .. until I get one shot (with over 5k ehp) by an exploding frog. After 3 attempts (3 audience with the kings) I have literally given up on pinnacle content. My gear (short of RMT real money twinking with unrealistic gear for 1000 div) is near top of the line, I'm over level 90 on a rock solid build and still unable to complete the pinnacle, or even come close to doing it reasonably.

I do not see how a casual player would have any prayer of beating the pinnacle bosses in the current state and I think there needs to be a re-evaluation of the bosses on a non copy/paste build.

Even with a top tier (ok lets just say it.. lightning Jav-a-zon streamer build) I think a 'normal' player would not beable to reasonably access or progress with the pinnacle content in it's current state.

Thank you for listening to my TEDtalk.
