This is working as intended. It’s clear that this company has very little interest in what the current players like and are only interested in their own agenda. No one ever came in here and complained that the thralls were tanking too much. The complaint was that in PvP a thrall can 1 shot you. Thrall threat is basically meaningless in PVP.
If they really wanted to balance the game. They’d change the threat back to the way it was. Reduce the health of thralls by about 25%, drop their damage by about 60%. Increase player damage by about 25% and then add mechanics to the boss fights like the one at the end of the cellar instead of having everything be a tank and spank system.
