Don't queue for the dog boss is what fixes pugs mostly. The people hard stuck on that boss can only queue for him, so avoiding them cleans up most of your matchmaking.
I've cleared everything including the final boss in pugs, and while there's occasionally some real giga tards that want to bind rush the bell bearing hunter, overall its really not so bad.

Yea there's a few bosses that are just a hard skip unless you're vastly ahead of the level curve.
Draconic tree sentinel, bell bearing hunter, the ancient dragon, etc. They are so out of bounds in just raw HP compared to other bosses that offer the same rewards that you'd be retarded to fight them.
Bell bearing in the bottom of the castle is still sometimes worth it to get access to the trinket and rooftop boss, but he wipes so many fucking runs that try and do him at like level 6-7.

Yea the trick to bell bearing in castle is do him after you do Crucible rotation you'll be closer to 10 if you've been doing well or more and you can usually finish roof boss. However if you go castle early to farm Crucible then just skip or come back. Also don't need to do him to get access to roof boss so he's really not worth unless you really need trinkets.

This game has good bones but a lot of issues, hopefully they tweak and build on it for years to come. Targeting is still ass and primary source of frustration. Boss is right in front of me in the circle, lets target a random mob 300 yards away on a ledge instead.
Downed player right in front of me, nothing to target… mash furiously to target and target boss again who is off to my left…fuuuuuuuuu

Everyone needs lightning weapons and he is one of the easier ones. Stops 90% of his bullshit.

Yep he's probably the hardest boss without lightning enchants, and close to the easiest if everyone has access to it. He'll spend half his HP bar stunned if everyone just hits him with lightning swords over and over.
I'm close to done I think. I've got 1 remembrance stage left to do on ironeye and guardian. Ironeye because getting matchmaking to fire for remembrance + the single boss you need is essentially impossible, and guardian because he fucking sucks and I hate playing him.
Speaking of guardian though, patch when? That dude needs so much help it's unreal. He's like 50% of the dps of any other character, probably even less if you try and stick to halberds or spears. Guard counters don't work vs bosses because they will never hit even if you do manage to block a hit and get one off. Guarding in general vs the bosses is a joke, even with his enhanced guard mode. Like sure, I was able to 'block' the giant crushing boss attack, but I still took 20% damage from random elements attached to it, or I got guard broken, or I just didn't block at all because it hit from the side/above/whatever. Blocking is real strong during the open world segments, but it's a joke when it matters.
And whats up with his chalice selections? One red relic across all his chalices? Get fucked I guess. He's actually sort of a functional character if you luck in to being able to get +aggro on block combined with his healing ult and extended duration whirlwind, but good fucking luck rolling all that on yellows and greens.
His ults pretty nice at least.

Yea on ironeye and mainly what I'm having issues with. Ido the affinity switching build because I can never find a lightning biw but I can never seem to stun him.
I demolish him on wylder for some reason. He feels easier to dodge in melee range and I get more fuckups due to having more defenses. Maybe I'll try a melee ironeye build lol. Just stack additional skill use and vigor?
Also I hate the guardian move set for polearms.

It's when he goes to do the big golden move that puts the binding rings on everyone that you really need to be sure you hit him with lightning. He'll raise his sword up vertically and start glowing golden for a few seconds - during this almost any amount of lightning damage will shatter the golden aura and cancel the binding rings he puts on people, as well as make all the ground eruptions tiny and far fewer. He doesn't stagger for a full crit from this, but he has a decently long stumble animation that you can use to get in damage, but more importantly it keeps you all from fucking dying to the massive golden ground spear eruptions he makes otherwise.,

I'm on mouse + KB but there is actually a way to bind "target left/right/up/down of current target". Must be a way to do that on controller.
Anyway, the only one I bound is "down from current target" and it works great for targeting downed teammates.
