I prefer the reading “Other clbumes are underpowered right now”. Needing to down consumables like candy to beat forums that are lower difficulty than you are level with some of the best equipment in the game is hardly what should be the ideal balance point.

Completely agreed. You should be able to beat a forum at your character level with the average equipment for that level and few, if any, consumables. A challenge is always good, but it shouldn’t be constant brutal hardness.
