Yes yes, I totally admit that if you’re playing roll and poke everything got easier including Thag due to the broken stamina regen.
I also totally admit that the “playstyle” of letting your Thrall do everything for you has been nerfed overall, as I already mentioned ⇊⇊⇊
And I think that “playstyle” being nerfed is a good thing. Because if the most optimal way to fight in Conan is to play glorified Pokemon, that’s not exactly skillful and interesting to me.
Nonetheless, you’re using a logically flawed argument.
The situation is that some playstyles work against Thag, while some others don’t, or barely work.
→ You are proposing to Adapt Thag to fit all playstyles (all the playstyles you know of, at least).
→ I am saying that the Player needs to Adapt in order to win against Thag.
Going back to “adapting Thag for all playstyles”, which gets ridiculous if you push the reasoning a tiny bit further!
Imagine someone comes to the Forum to complain about how they cannot solo Thag with a Bow…
Do you have to nerf the boss until it gets two shot by a bow or something?
Do you make it so Thag doesn’t summon warriors anymore?
Imagine someone else comes to the Forum to complain they cannot solo Thag by facetanking the whole encounter with Full Strength and Full Vitality… Do you have to make the boss stand still and not attack?
Playstyle is something that comes from the players. If a specific playstyles does not work against a specific enemy, adapt, evolve, conquer.

From my observations in The Secret World expecting players to adapt and evolve to changing challenges is a very good way to lose most of your players. Just the way it is and the argument between spoon fed instant gratification versus taking on an actual challenge and overcoming it with determination and skill isn’t going to change anyone’s mind.
Personally I mostly play on barbaric difficulty or above servers these days. Would be great to have some official barbaric difficulty servers but oh well.
tldr: humans are weak and want to be strong without putting in any effort

People having it hard against Thag should try the build I suggested. If you can’t defeat Thag with it, I don’t know what to say. You should be able to solo Thag with it, easily. The same goes for the Sunken City, the forge of Skelos, etc.
If nothing works, use zombies like @erjoh suggested or gear up a Thugra or two and they’ll kill Thag.

I would like to see at least one supermegaboss in the game, which could only be defeated at the last level of pumping, and even with the best warrior for a couple … and with honed skills. It is a pity that there is no such thing. If Thag seems invincible to someone, that’s great!
There’s nothing even remotely close to that, @Teng .

Here. And I’m sad to watch my thrall deal with a HUGE, monstrous, scary, fire-breathing Red Mother in 20 seconds, which then flies off to the side like a powerless rag. This is nonsense…

Maybe the new purges, @Teng . That’s what I’m hoping for. I can’t remember the last time I died in this game. On pve. On pvp it was yesterday

I really hope so, @MarcosC. But I’m afraid to even think about what glitches and bugs await us…
A trebuchet spawning inside our courtyard, probably, @Teng .
I don’t even care as long as there’s some action!

I remember! About 2 months ago, in Kurak’s cave, I was killed by the ‘Bad End’ Beast.))))
There’s no way to survive it, @Teng . It’s not a glorious death. It’s a game mechanic. Probably you didn’t know about the timer.

I didn’t know anything, not even about the three turrets that needed to be cut down. I came… to visit, to get acquainted…)) and this nasty monster killed me and my two best thralls in one second.

On pvp I die because I get bored playing alone and pick random fights. Yesterday I decided to bomb a random base. It was nicely built, because placing the exposives was very hard, but I kept exploding them just to have a fight or breach it, something. They were three, I was dead.
it was fun during the 30 seconds I lasted

I don’t play pvp because I don’t like to destroy someone’s work, and even more so if the buildings are beautiful… I’m more likely to protect it from destruction.
Don’t be surprised @SpherisCore . The guys were good fighters. Spanish dudes. Sent a friend request to rhe guy that killed me and we had a few laughts. They thought I was either crazy or idiot. They were right. 
I actually had the Army of Nordheimer Purge kill me because I was afk… I came back and heard the purge happening so I rushed outside with my dumb farming build with 0 vitality 
Then I took my usual build and took my sweet revenge against the army.
And I couldn’t use Musashi’s because it was nighttime, with no lights, and no night vision 
Had to solo the Army with the Tulwar of Amir Khurum so I could carry a torch and see at all 
Was actually fun, but was definitely my mistake for going in with a build that cannot take damage from more than 3 mobs 
It was ugly AF as all good ceiling bases. But they were expanding and it had a place where I could place an explosive from a distance, so I decided to be an ass and check it.
I had more fun in those minutes than during all the time I spent on that server. It was obvious I was just asking for trouble.
Those are the ones we cherish and remember, @SpherisCore 
The only other purge I remember was when I had only built sandstone and I got an Avalanche of Rocknose spawning INSIDE my base near Telith’s Island 
I have to quote Illidan on this one… I was not prepared
