!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

MODERATORS
Boss/enemy healing isn't bad game design. There are a lot of very valid reasons that lead to more interesting interactions.
A boss with slow health regen might require players to try to burst the boss down through weakpoints or debuffs
A boss entering a second phase and getting their health back creates a cool "oh shit" moment and really emphasizes their power
A boss that has an interuptable or preventable heal adds an interesting challenge and requires players to do more than just DPSing them down
Star Wars KotOR did this really well with the final boss. He heals himself but it makes sense why he can and you can prevent him from doing it if you know how.
