N.O.X. and dungeon bosses

A question for Anet:
Why isn't N.O.X. a dungeon boss?
Nearly every dungeon boss in Guild Wars can be defeated by a 5 year old child, and yet when you finally do come up with a boss that isn't pure "tank and spank" you make him a quest boss, why?

Guess it would be to much work to make him a a dungeon boss let alone make an entire dungeon, would be cool though.

You're right, N.O.X. isn't "tank and spank", BHA + NOX = 1,000,000 hp paper weight. Seriously though, if daze didn't work on him and they dropped his hp, then he would be a wonderful dungeon boss.

when i beat him we didnt use daze, and apart from the dude running away and dieing, we had no problems. There was a magbane hero involved though.

Imo there should be more bosses like him added throughout the game. It was a wonderful experience to come across a boss who could wipe the party at once if he was allowed to, and didnt fall like a sack of shit.

Guild Wars: Where people hate apples because they are not oranges.

I don't see the 5 year old children complaining.

Fixed that.

If you were to cut NOX's health in half, or maybe even more, and turn all of his spells into skills, he'd be worth calling a boss.

BHA + 7 H/H = Fail boss.

BHA makes nox stupidly easy.

Even if his skills weren't spells, it wouldn't make much difference. A party full of melee heroes with disrupting attacks would just lock him down.

And then he would get lucky and party will get wiped. Fight lasts long enough to make mistake or two and for him to get lucky.

He is fine as of now: You know he IS dangerous, and he WILL wipe you if you fail to take some basic precautions, but he is quite relaxing punching bag.

Unless you're running multiple super runes and standing balled-up with no passive defense or monks whatsoever and ignore all the bits entirely, taking repeated spells from N.O.X. isn't a big deal.

NOX is really easy to beat. Making his spells 'spells' was a bad idea.

Some basic precautions, yes.

But - http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/N.O.X._Fire - still hurts even on 80al/600hp characters. (it takes 2 bits to deal fatal damage i believe)

Clearing bits would be kinda feat if you want to lockdown NOX with attack skills...

You are familiar with the Paragon class, a class with high, ranged DPS accompanied by strong party support?

Let's also recognize that attack skill interrupts can be used more frequently than spell interrupts - some are even adrenal, meaning you'll have recharges on-par with power return. A tiny bit of micromanagement and nothing will get off. His skills are 2s activation.

Yes. Guess what i used to beat NOX?

his hp is insane but he's easy to beat with a BHA 'n stuff yadayada you all know it
i'd love to see a dungeon based on more of those golems like POX or NOX 'n stuff but more dungeon boss like
it would be like a second oola's but with sinister golems and those other golems we saw while fighting nox
or just let GOX go mad and rampage and we gotta go wack him
do it in zinn's lair and... you got a dungeon really
but let it count outside of the eotn so they don't mess up the title track
