Although, I'll admit they were playing "how low can I go" given I dropped to 12k at one point. It says a lot about the mechanic when I sat on Vengeance and Thrill just so I could cheese Temporary Current. Even at i450, I'd only need to add Raw, Equilibrium or slightly more healing though I wouldn't be eating things for damage at that point anyway.

But this highlights why I've been routinely critical of E3S. Vengeance and Thrill existed so I could cheese his dash or feed Shake It Off. Otherwise, Raw/Nascent and Holmgang were all I needed for every single mechanic he does. At least in terms of self mitigation. For the third fight in a Savage tier, I'd describe that as comically low.
With a couple of exceptions, no Savage fight has ever had punishing tank mechanics once you've reach iLvl that's considered BiS iLvl/maximum defense for that tier. At i450 you'd have nearly 20k less HP, less everything, and your healer would have been healing you for less. You would need more mitigation for at least half of the hits, or at least more healing. Comically low would be not having to pop anything at all for it.
