It's not really that. It's the fact that there is zero indication as to wtf is even going on or wtf even killed him. Not to mention that everything else is pretty much a joke to clear and then it goes from 0-100 instantly. Dog shit gameplay and game design.

Omega Crucible unique boss (every map mod applies to it!) and he has 0 defenses because his defenses are 100% of his utility. Add in that -10 Max Res and the cold AND fire he's taking (it's a phys/cold based boss) and he died. No one who ever played HC is surprised. Steelmage saw it and goes "Why is he doing that? WHY IS HE FULL JUICING IT?" and the clip doesn't show it but Ziz says "I'll probably die to this" right before he does it.
This is why people who love the game don't play HC anymore. Because this happens. MOST of the time if you can read it's preventable, but sometimes it's not. Dumpstering a whole character because you got 20% too cocky isn't for me anymore.

Is there even a point to continuously interact with Crucible league once you've filled out a solid passive tree on a weapon? At least with Sanctum and others it usually dropped a fuckload of currency, but with the mobs not dropping fuckall, what's even the point once I have a solid passive on my weapon(s)?

To embrace your inner 1%'er and suffer hundreds of hours at the mercy of the RNG gods going for the perfect crucible tree.
Pretty cool right?

Frost blades is extremely meta right now, tho is more popular on Trickster, but no reason a Raider wouldn't work.
I'm pretty sure molten strike is 100% busted and would also be very good on a raider, or if you wanna be an omega hipster go volcanic fissure and use an axe

If you wanna be ultra lazy about it just reveal the tree on a random good base (siege axe/ezomyte axe/imperial claw/spine bow/thicket bow, etc etc) and throw it in a dump tab for 1 divine and let other people decide if the trees are any good. I've sold 3 weapons for a divine like this with them just sitting in a quad tab waiting for someone looking for exactly the right thing to find it randomly.

Have you played around with it? I'm not sure how to model the return hits on molten strike. They look to bounce in place, but I quite commonly get different stacks of self poison for the first and second bounces. This is on a stationary target.
That said, if vengeant cascade just makes the meatballs bounce in place, is it any more busted than most other projectile attacks? Splitting steel seems to be the only truly broken skill.

I fucked about with it in standard some but it's gonna be real hard to accurately tell how many of them are gonna hit on the return bounce.
Molten strike they do make an effort to move back to the original strike location, but it's...half hearted sometimes? Like they move in weird ways and often don't travel as far as I'd like them to. Maybe just running something like increased AOE in the link to get bigger ball areas is the best way to ensure the maximum of them hit after their return bounce. Interestingly if you have an additional strike the balls produced from it attempt to return to your primary strike location, which seems odd but also potentially good? But I'm not sure how you'd set up getting 2 strikes out vs a boss anymore cause I think they nerfed all the ways you could do that.
Fissure on the other hand does appear to just bounce entirely in place. They land and bounce directly up and back down and explode again. The good news though is the fissure balls (at least visually) have much larger AE than the molten strike ones, so even without them moving they should be relatively reliable in hitting twice.

You can't scale AE, that affects how far they bounce. Slower proj speed is usually the only way bunch them up better.
