Vortex and _especially_ jailer are the prime culprits.
These need to be reworked. And invulnerable minions need to go entirely.
It's funny because I don't have any issue with any of the champ/boss mods. I love all the devistating combinations that require me to time my skills and move during combat rather than just stand and shoot. The problem is that on many cases my loss of control is too frequent for my cool downs to handle. When a "horde illusion vortex arcane enchanted" boss comes around for instance, I just can't get control of my character long enough to avoid the multitude of lasers. And the way the game is balanced right now, if you cant do the WOW "don't stand in the fire noob" thing, you can't withstand the incoming damage.
So to me, Blizzard needs to pick from the following choices:
1) Make elemental damage extreme, so no matter what gear I have I will die if I get hit by it or at least react to it immediately. But give my character enough escape mechanisms and ways to do DPS without getting hit by the "goo" so I can have a chance to win.
OR
2) Tone down the incoming damage. So our characters are able to withstand a bit of damage while delivering our own DPS. Then remove some of the control impairing effects so I can't get "cheap" losses because "I got chain jailed in the fire".
I need a chance to succeed is what I'm saying. Either model is fine with me.
