Endgame combat gameplay is disappointing

I just wish combat gameplay would remain methodical and engaging even in the end game. I know many players will probably disagree with me because they are focused more on the acquisition side of the game and enjoy being efficient in that. But I would love for the game to offer fun, challenging and meaningful combat from beginning to the end. Nuking the screen with one hit is not that.

I agree with the sentiment. The combat in acts 1-3 normal was the best and then the gameplay gets worse. I really hope they focus on creating engaging combat experiences and don't cater too much to players mainly wanting to be rewarded with loot to the expense of the gameplay.

Maybe we can have ruthless mode like in poe1. And I'm not talking just about scarcity.
But in Ruthless the mob pack size is reduced dramatically (partly to reduce drops) and it feels more engaging.
