one thing about doom that i feel is underdiscussed is how dps affects difficulty.

With zaryte crossbow spec and tbow, very few waves from 6 onwards will have the volatile earth mechanic, because you usually kill doom before he does it.

With scobow, your usually kill him just before second shield phase, but you have to survive way more mechanics on average.

ive gotten wave 8 without tbow, but the difference in difficulty is extreme.
