5th council don’t feel very tanky that’s true, this was even before the more recent nerf, but after this latest patch something else is at work, I’m fairly convinced there were many unmentioned buffs to the ai in the patch, MMR is again completely out of whack, it seems there was another bump to hp, damage and possibly spawns for mobs starting at lower mmr.
Things have gotten a lot less fun after the latest patch, and it’s not only because of the nerfs to some raiders, whatever tweaks they made to mmr/mobs… well it ain’t pretty…
