I'm not liking your post OP because I liked Halatali HM. Hullbreaker HM is better than Sohr Khai, but it's worse than it's normal mode imo.

I think the devs are afraid to make things too hard, especially the butthurt after the original Steps of Faith design. Sohr Khai and Hullbreaker HM could've been made so much harder, and it's a shame that they are so easy.
