I would put Golbez in here for his meteor mechanic, but not the rest (have not tried to the new one). I'd say that most extremes are midcore though if and when they are recoverable, albeit, less optimized. When they aren't, then it's more hardcore just because there's a bodycheck which expect you execute the mechanic precise. Bodychecks are savages ways of creating that artificial difficulty. So that would make Golbez would be like a savage-lite (a savage with a few less steps).

See, that was the problem I had with EX5. Despite the fight being very easy for an extreme, Sweeping Immolation can be either stack or spread. If you got the stack variant right after Flamespire Brand in a PuG group, it was usually a wipe because a lot of people died to Brand.

I think optimally EX's should have difficult mechanics but very lenient bodychecks (if any).
