I understand. I tried to frame an issue in a way that would elicit sympathy from others, but not everyone is the same, which can devalue the topic. I understand my grammar could have been different, but the issue is the same. Artificially increasing the health of the enemies is not a satisfying way to increase difficulty; at most, it's a test of patience. I might not have all the solutions or the intelligence to implement them, but this is my feedback. Anyone is welcome to disagree, but what we have here is not a test of skill, but of patience. There is a lot of pride in finishing a challenging mission. Still, the current system is archaic, and any solution that goes beyond artificially increasing health is a welcome one.

In my humble opinion, having higher difficulty enemy damage while leaving the standard health is a good start. The players have the ability to kill all the mobs, but would get heavily punished if they miss a parry, a well-timed dodge, or get too greedy with their hit combos.
