Vaal Smithy.

SSF

I've posted about this before. The smithy room boss is MASSIVELY more difficult than other similar content.

His damage, his room, his aoe, his tankiness/hitpoints, the amount of mobs in the room with him- often multiple elites while other rooms have nothing similar. Its crazy off.

I always skip those rooms, accidentally added one on this play through- holy shit. I'm walking through all other content blind; but I'm fighting for ever breath, even playing pretty clean against this boss.

Every hit is a half health chunk, I barely have anywhere to stand.

FFS, the room itself, spitting fire around in waves- the giant center. I'm playing hardcore ssf and shitting myself. I wanted to know if it was fixed, now I know.

Fix that fucking room. No fire ring, no fire waves, balance the boss to like 25% of his difficulty; and then it'll probly feel like the other rooms.

Either tune everything up, or him down. There should not be one thing thats glaringly x harder than everything else.

Spyroom is exactly the same. Its like the qa team didn't review it, or bugged or something. They all act like tier 3 at tier 1.

Theres nothing in this game I'm scared of right now on hcssf, except the smithy and spyroom.

What if one of the possible cards to to draw for building your temple was to remove a room instead of adding one? Would that solve your problems? So if you add a room you realize is terrible for your build, you aren't COMPLETELY borked.
