The shields of the bosses

And if all you (general you, not you specifically) care about is getting the Loot as fast as possible

Yes, I do as well
It’s the primary factor! Just because one reason is the primary one doesn’t mean that all following ones aren’t important.

@Scipo0419

Being able to kill a 100c boss in a second or two when you’re normally capable of farming 300c is fine, the gear dropped from 100c isn’t going to be that beneficial to you specifically (though someone in the MG may want to farm loot to sell, at which point I say let them farm easier content if they want?). But you should never be farming 300c and one shot a 300c boss.

What?
That whole argument solely applies to shade.
Corruption only affects the drop-rate through item rarity, it doesn’t affect LP chance or which items can drop for anything else.

So… if I solely want to do it for a item… what does hinder me currently to gather envy runes, reduce my corruption to 100 and one-shot the respective boss - which provides me a relevant drop - over and over again?

The corruption system of LE sadly makes this whole argument nonsensical, I would enjoy to be on your side with that but I can’t be since it’s just… sadly not upholding, neither for Boss-Ward nor DR. If EHG wants players to be forced to go through boss mechanics then they have a boatload more to do then either Boss Ward or DR, their whole core concept is failing to uphold that premise after all.

And mind you, I’m still 100% for meaningful fights at meaningful content level. Though a build which handles for example 600 corruption should absolutely and 100% give the boss of a 100c timeline a heart attack by smiling wryly at it. Everything else is just utterly and entirely nonsense to demand in a system like EHG has set up.
If they don’t want those things to happen then they need to abolish this system entirely and re-work it into something else, it’s a unfitting system for those regards by design-choice (sadly so).
