Remove dps checks on Boss fights

What does ANY boss mechanic add positively to the game? Why not have all bosses do no damage and have 1 life too?

Even with 200k dps (which if it's that bad, you need better stuff) if you are playing competently you should clear him way before "90%" of the arena is covered. When I get him at 250k, the arena isn't even half covered. So if you are getting 90%+ coverage on his ground degen, you must be missing a heck of a lot. Playing Vortex doesn't help you either since you can't see where you are stepping. But that's on you for choosing the skill if Sirus is your goal.

Great now we are moving into black and white thinking.

Outside of the uber versions, I don't recall any of these encounters except Cortex and Maven having permanent ground effects. Maven can be addressed by simply standing in the ground degen and spawning the new ones inside.

You know how long I waited until I challenged Maven just to get her voidstone? My DPS was still inadequate to the point I had to deal with her Simon Says puzzle twice in each phase, but it could've been a lot worse if I didn't wait. Hell I still haven't fought Uber Elder yet this league, because summoners are terrible for slow and poor players since Kalandra league.

If you feel like your DPS is inadequate for the boss, there's nothing wrong with just not engaging with that content until you get stronger. They're not going anywhere.

Then why are they there?
Also having to do the mechanics more often (like you did) is drawback enough for doing bosses with low dps, i dont see how there is a need for an additional mechanic that is irrevelant in the first few minutes of the fight and only becomes increasingly relevant after that

They could be there as a bug. Coding a game isn't easy, but it's very easy to break something no matter how irrelevant to one another the mechanics may be. Anyone who plays Destiny 2 and knows about the exotic weapon Telesto will understand what I'm talking about.

I will say the problem with things like permanent ground degen is that its usefulness as a means of providing difficulty does indeed stand on a very fine line between being completely pointless for high DPS builds (on account of blitzing the boss dead in seconds) and game-breaking for low DPS builds.
