Yet again a skill thats known for being absolute trash for bossing.
Linked to 2 supports adding zero dmg but clear speed only, which does nothing for this fight except increasing the mana costs.

I admire your devotion to proof your point, this just isnt it.
Since you insinst on playing this game I´ll join and play with you.
Here is Ziz fighting Brutus:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1095729283?t=3h32m26s

Fight starts dealing dmg at about 3:32:43
and ends at 3:33:06

So about 23 sec total. Hes using Orb of Storm and Stormblast Mines - OoS is at least linked to added lightning so he has some extra dmg but could have had more. He could have used Holy Flame totem over decoy, saving a few secs if he wanted to and finish the fight in 15-ish sec.

Sure its not 10 sec but its also not as bad as the vids you are posting here.
Point is, if you utilize the tools we have avalaible this fight can be completed in quick fashion. If you dont it takes longer and I dont see why this would be wrong or worth pointing out as a negative.

The old videos are hard to find because of how youtube didn't allow large files, and not many people recorded early game.

Also on heavy strike being a good solo skill, it NEVER WAS. Proof of this is the update log for heavy strike. IT WAS BUFFED WITH EVERY UPDATE.

I think you guys saying the game was harder in the past are eating member berries. I don't recall the game being this annoying to play, and I have the Videos to prove it and patch notes. Do you?

A large part of the community doesn't even provide feedback, have you noticed that people who haven't posted since 2011, have made posts about the game being bad and nothing like what it was 2010-2019 in regards to difficulty.

And while i'm on the topic of heavy strike, it's been buffed 300% over the years, and you still can't stun with it like in 2012-2014.

Was never meta.
And has 0 (ZERO) usage on poe.ninja.

AND Sunder which was once 27% is now 0 (zero) too.
