Having played the Diablo 4 endgame beta, Ashava the Pestilent is not the only world boss I've fought. They were, however, the most prone to one-shotting me. While not exactly a complicated fight, Ashava highlights the greater emphasis on positioning and proper use of the dodge mechanic in Diablo 4 — a change and/or mechanic that I doubt everyone is going to be a fan of.

As a Souls player, however, having instances where the best offense is actually playing defensively and waiting for your opening can be fun, as long as it isn't all the time and the enemy you're fighting doesn't have a health pool too large.

NOTES:

►Sidequests WERE in the Endgame beta, in all zones not just the starter area, thus I've done many of them but obviously am not talking about the ones outside the Fractured Peaks.
►I've 'only' played 217 hours of Barbarian in Diablo 3, but I really enjoy the spin2win lazy Barbarian playstyle just for mindless grinding.
►The other analogies from D3 are Wizard (182 hours) and Demon Hunter (98 hours) so I definitely don't play those classes much. (Necromancer 194 hours, Monk 279 hours, Witch Doctor 527 hours, Crusader 592 hours).
►Note that these times are only for the PC release. I also played a lot of the Switch version. Brings my total up to probably 2200 hours (I no longer have a Switch to check my play time.)
