If this is your attitude towards the best and most ethical game devs that I know of, then I got bad news for you..
They don't get a free pass from critique just because they don't steal their coworkers' breastmilk. The transparency from this interview is worth praising, but in certain sections they came off as uninformed/underprepared.
No, it's the other way around.
Bleed currently damages your Energy Shield first.
However in the interview they called that a bug, implying that they will "fix it" by making it bypass Energy Shield, which means Bleed would instakill CI builds, because CI sets your max HP to 1.
If you expect them to be that idiotic they would introduce a "Bleed now instakill CI" update i think it's time you move on to other franchises you have more faith in .
I am 99% sure they said word for word that Bleed should bypass Energy Shield.
Yes because Bleed was never supposed to damage ES in the first place . That doesn't mean once that bug is fixed Bleed 2.0 is supposed to instakill CI chars , you're doing a big stretch here by taking them for total morons .

If Bleed bypasses ES and damages HP directly, then that logically means Bleed instakills CI.
I don't understand the confusion here.

They described their intention for bleed to be anti-caster/anti-ES. It is absolutely supposed to 1shot CI builds that don't have some type of additional coverage.
Bleed damage is intended to bypass Energy Shield (at least according to the keyword description via tooltips). It also only counts damage dealt to life towards bleed contribution, which means CI is immune since the only way it could lose life is if it loses its 1 life and dies.
I suppose you could theoretically wear The Barrow Dweller to avoid death from the hit and then die instantly to the bleed.
When did they ever say it was intended to be anti-caster/anti-ES?

Seems like you don't like the game and trying to find excuses to be negative. Just go somewhere else and play something you actually like to play. Just stop acting on bad faith. Maybe this game is not for you. Have you thought about that?

Yes, that makes sense.
I don't like it, but it makes sense logically lol
DM and Ghazzy asked many amazing questions, yet all of them were dodged.
"We will need to investigate"
"Soon"
"We haven't checked"
People defend GGG with "GGG has the data, they know what they're doing".
According to them in this interview, they have no data about anything.
So that doesn't really hold up anymore.
The worst part was them defending Rarity.
Droprates are balanced around Rarity. Rarity is a mandatory stat. You will get absolutely no Orbs without Rarity.
Implying that blue orbs are as exciting a drop as Exalts was wild.
They were completely clueless about how their own game mechanics work (Rarity, CI), and even when Ghazzy explained it to them, they still dismissed it, alongside all the other feedback they straight up dismissed for the few cases their answer wasn't "I don't know":
Rarity and droprates being balanced around it is a problem? Dismissed.
Movement speed being more common or implicit? Dismissed.
Lower tier affixes being too common when rolling higher tier items? Dismissed.
Crafting = slot machine? Dismissed, because "deterministic not good"?
So what was all the hype for? To tell us you can replace Runes now? Okay.
The whole interview was Ghazzy and DM talking to a wall.
It's giving "Do you not have phones?"
It is bewildering to me how anyone would find this interview positive.
Fact is, at this point and from everything we've heard recently, we are playing EA for PoE1: The Reboot.
