If they created such a great mod like this they will know if this needs to be changed or not.
For me its fine, it feels like this makes all the builds more equivalent, instead of one doing the boss in seconds and the other struggling because it doesnt have the necessary skills, now they all have the same skill, kinda simple but its there.

^ this is the hardest boss in the game, i have yet to clear it myself but have no motivation to, for many reasons.
according to all the people who believe neutralizing all purpose of Diablo franchise design which is negating item impact and time investment in finding / farming said items and utilizing "purify" mechanics, seems like the solution here is to make Samael, the "hardest" and endgame boss of median, a purify boss also. Lol
"purify" as a concept, is not a good design for diablo 2 endgame, it's as simple as that. it has its pluses. it's definitely more enabling and "balanced" by definition, but that doesn't make it good in philosophy. Understand the difference, please.
Certain classes have definite advantages, that should be addressed. Certain builds have great advantages using Purify, that should be addressed. at the end of the day, it's as simple as that.
Samael doesnt require purify(where did you even heard that?) and barbs do that uber about in 1 minute while other classes struggles to do it at all.
So you have an hardest uber that doesnt have purify mechanic and it creates a bigger gap between builds/chars. If it was a purify battle every char would be pretty much equal.
So your argument is invalid.
Edit: I think valthek fight is one of the best if not the best uber in the game. It literally gives same items and skills for every char and the fight itself is 15 minute max and really not that hard. You almost have no differences between chars/builds since they use same skill and item. What else do you want? I think its a great design and really fun to do.
Uldy is one of my favourite ubers as well. It takes a lot of time (75min in my case) but i think its not a cancer fight. You just need some patient. And pretty much every build/char can run them.
Compared to what they were before sigma, A LOT of the ubers are really nice right now and i hope will get even more improved over time.
waiting for you to edit your post again after you understand his argument *grabs popcorn*
