Agreed. I managed to kill him once using a machine gun and the hardlight with void build. Tried again today and ran out of revives again. I was trying new weapons and it sucked. The nether is no fun. I think I'm done with it until they fix it.

It's interesting, and I don't know if it's supposed to be this way, but now that I've done all 3 of the versions, the difficulty seems to be the same across all 3. The only difference in expert being the presence of champs and banes. It showed red swords on enemies in expert, but they weren't any more difficult to kill. If they are different, I can't say I noticed.

If they tuned down their freaking damage reduction than it would feel alot better in my opinion but yeah its ridiculous especially with the reduced healing
