Difficulty is fine as long as they give you interesting tools and choices to defeat it. Mass dodging while pricking the boss to death is not interesting and only one binary choice.
True, but too elaborate on my above post on the fight. The first try, it was a basic spam attack, try to block/parry and attack. This did not work well.
The following attempts went on to trying different signs and combinations to fight along with trying to dodge every attack (since it hit so hard, you could only take a few hits before dying).
The adds were wraiths that warp to you. I turned the stream off before he beat the fight, but I would assume the "correct" way to handle that fight would turn out to be
Trap sign wraiths (as that has been shown in videos to make them extra vulnerable) while trying to stasis boss to clear adds upon spawn.
or
Stasis adds and keep attacking boss.
Not sure since the boss got an insane regen when the adds spawned. Not sure if they healed him, or if you need to do constant damage to boss to negate regen.
Point being, I don't think just mass dodging and hitting the boss would work. Rather it is a combination of having to dodge attacks, while combining the right skills and attacks when you can. It looked fun.
Seen the opening fights done on normal to very hard now, and normal appears to be spam X to win, while very hard + requires dodge from the get go. Watched a streamer start on very hard, die to the very first fight 4 times and restart a new save.
