I haven't given the Maggot King boss a try yet, how do you all feel about it?
I think it's fun to fight; the melee punish phase feels like you're absolutely ripping the boss apart, having a boss where elemental spells beat Shadow is a neat gimmick, and the buffed droptable is pretty good imo, especially the unique rates

That said though, I find it super lame that it feels like it's trying to force Nightmare's uniques to be better than they are by excessively pandering to them
Which in turn, I feel like they only did to prop up the Raids 4 Crush Megarare (and Inquisitor armour) to be more interesting than it actually is:
-The boss has pretty high mage def, but fire spells arbitrarily remove some of it
-Elemental weakness is higher than usual, at 80% instead of 50%
-Fire spells just arbitrarily apply a burn
Making Harm/Twinflame w/ tome just absolutely dominate other options and even a Shadow feels awful to use at MK, it's fine Shadow isn't BiS but it shouldn't feel quite so bad as it does and probably shouldn't be worse than Twinflame

-Most of the damage you do at the boss is during the melee punish phase, with your standard attack openings being on a 4-tick cycle
-Boss is considerably crush-weak
Making Inquisitor's mace superior to other options, with Scythe/SRA kinda getting fucked by being 5-tick, and the next option down being the shitty-ass bludgeon, with the new kisten having awful stats to where it's worse than bludgeon

I sorta feel like Jagex is super married to the idea that Raids 4 HAS to have a super-desirable Crush Megarare and as a result Inquisitor armour NEEDS to have more attention, and therefore Nightmare NEEDS to be more relevant with new content pandering to Crush/Elemental resulting in Maggot King being an outlier where generally good expensive gear like Scythe, Shadow, and SRA just feel awful to use because it NEEDS you to be using Crush/Elemental (and the 4-tick melee thing)

But I guess you can get decent killspeeds with rcb/twinflame/zaxe/dharoks fairly easily so anyone that's half-decent enough to actually kill Drakan won't care about how the boss has dumb overspecialization? I dunno, maybe I'm just being hyperautistic about Jagex forcing gear usecases to prop up a mediocre Crush Megarare (which I feel is really lame, especially that its niche gimmick is 100% identical to the Scythe)

Also seriously why the fuck can't the kisten be between bludgeon and mace, bludgeon is so fucking bad lmao, "crush dclaws" is so uninspired and I hate it, if they're gonna force Crush to be a thing with Raids 4 I think better progression than Bludgeon -> Mace -> Breaker would be cool, especially instead of forcing ZAxe/SRA/Scythe to be Crush weapons just by having a godawful secondary style

I haven't tried Nightmare yet but I got a feeling thats a long ways off for me lmao. I did attempt Vardovis a couple of times yesterday (after finishing the quest ages ago) and really enjoyed it!
