I've joked before that the bosses don't actually try to kill us players. If they were actually trying we'd probably never win a fight, since they would combine mechs in such a way that it would be impossible to survive.

Another thought: Imagine Lakshmi. At the start of the fight she has a shield up and there are 2 enemies. You kill the enemies and she drops the shield to attack, what if she didn't do that? She just keeps the shield up the entire time, being unable to take damage and just lets the instance timer run out while taunting your inability to do anything about it. All she has to do to win, is not lose.

If the bosses aren't stupid, we wouldn't even have a game. I agree with you.
