Wildland Boss Balance

from Elemental Forums

Should you be able to solo wildlands with your boss when world difficulty is set to Insane?

My Sov has 34 Initiative with haste, and after using slow on a wildlands boss, it has 11 initiative. Since my Sov follows path of the defender it can use stun once every 3 turns meaning the wildlands boss only got one hit in the tactical match when I forgot to stun him.

Taking only 34 damage from a wildlands boss in a fight seems bit wrong. 

Maybe give Stun a chance to resist, possibly with that chance to resist increasing every time they have been stunned?

Stun can be resisted.  However, I think the Wildland bosses resistances seem too low.  It's easy to slow, stun, etc.... them.

That being said, I find opening up the wildlands is usually a big waste of time.  By the point in the game where you have everything you need to beat the boss, you rarely need what it gives you (city bonus, mediocre-good fertile land).

Really you don't even need level 20 hero to defeat boss. All you need are horse and twice Initiative boss has. Even level 1 hero can defeat boss. Hit and run strategy still works against bosses - just kiting bosses.
