I’ve fought the tank/spider a few times now and every time it’s been a slog. It has some of the more annoying abilities grabbed from other bosses, ex the Eidolon’s stomp, and seems to have the most staggering attacks out of all bosses, or at least uses them very frequently.
With most other bosses, even the more annoying ones like Kela or Profit Taker, I’m mostly thinking about how to play better using normal means to beat the boss… with H-09 I am just thinking to myself: ‘OK, how do I cheese this?’ for most of the second phase.
If healing is the problem then healing mitigation or max-HP damage (as in attacks that reduce the maximum HP you have) seem like a better alternative to building more of one of the most hated game mechanics into the game. Hell, either of those would give importance to status clear… I know there’s some strong healers that have that too but that could be made the differentiating factor between a major healer frame and generally durable frames.
