Problem with 7-8 minute builds is that because of how slow they get to kill monsters they become very incosistent and fragile. Like most of them are already “brittle” in the first place, but without much firepower Crucible becomes exponentially harder.
Again, I don’t have a personal stake in this, I have made dozens of different builds and I perfectly understand that each build doesn’t have to be a 6-7 minute monster. I am just talking about some balancing issues that seem off to me. And I don’t mind high dificulty, but I want it to make a bit more balanced, that’s all.
