The problem is that gear has nothing to do with it, it's the spam of instant death mecanics by almost every single boss in this game post 50 that makes it impossible to beat by most casual players.

This is ridiculous though. Once hardcores have won, then you want less hardcores to win BUT NOT people below that. You want people to win in waves based on skill so that everyone can have a sense of accomplishment. And a lot of lesser skilled players are clearing this content. Even pretty low skilled players can actually dodge divebombs but only now can they handle healing in that fight better.
theres not a spam of instant death mechanics. some are instant death, others are a lot more recoverable than that. gear helps a lot. helps push phases to see less of something. helps carry you through OTHER hits you may take so that you can focus more on the more difficult mechanics.
