Black Talon is too easy

This is a problem that's been put on the back burner for too long. Black Talon, the Qular Invasion is *WAY* too easy.
As a character, Black Talon is supposed to be one of Dr. Destroyer's trusted lieutenants. The power armored suit was designed by the evil genius himself, and while the same resources were not clearly not put into the Black Talon armor as Dr. Destroyer's own suit, it's still been designed by the same mind. So, it should be one of the most advanced suits of power armor in the world.
And he goes down like a chump to some rookie straight out of superhero school.
The fight needs to be tougher. Black Talon himself should be an open world cosmic boss, and new players should have to pay their dues leveling on the Qular invasion map for atleast a week before being geared up enough to face him.
The fight should also require some amount of coordination. My suggestions for the attacks he should have:
You have ofcourse your main attack, that's a 90 degree cone that pretty much will kill everything except a blocking tank.
There should be a massive 360 AoE attack that insta-kills everyone who isn't blocking.
There should be a rear-250 degree arc attack that insta-kills everyone hit, blocking or not.
Finally, there should be a 360 AoE dot attack that will weed out any DPSer who doesn't have a self-heal.
In addition to all that, I suggest having a drone called 'Little BT' that Black Talon spawns when he's at 2/3rds health, like one of those scout drones from resistance. The drone will fly around looking for players, and if it spots one, all the players have to do the wave emote at it, or it'll trigger a nuke attack that kills all the players and restores Black Talon to full health. In addition, if the drone takes *any* damage, at all, from say the one noob who doesn't know how the fight goes or somebody with a stray AoE, the nuke is triggered and the team has to start all over. Directions for these types of fights are usually posted, so we should expect everyone to look them up beforehand.
That, I feel should bring Black Talon up to the level of toughness he is in his lore.
I'm a lifetime subscriber who has been playing this game for about three years now. It's frustrating to have these new players show up, do the same content I did years ago and get the same stuff I did. I was here first dammit, so it should be harder for them to get where I'm at.

No, you're going about it all wrong. A week may be fine for leveling, but overall they should be required to learn coordination with their fellow players as well so they can learn the basics of various roles--tanking, healing, dealing damage, cc'ing, crafting, cheerleading, and that guy who snipes in just enough damage at the end to qualify for rewards.
They also need to learn how gearing up in this game really works. I suggest several of Black Talon's most trusted underlings be found in various parts of the invasion map, each requiring no less than 20 people to take down. Each victory will yield 2-3 CCR (Copper Champion Recognition) to people who meet the participation threshold. CCR will be the currency required to purchase the starter gear, and each piece of gear should sell for about 275 CCR for primaries and 225 for secondaries.
It's about time we modernized the tutorial and made it fun!
So new players shouldn't get to start out where you started?

Black Talon in the tutorial... no, he's meant to be the tutorial boss, aka baby's first boss not the first semi-possible roadnlock [kevin poe does that]

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
Personally, and contrary to a popular belief, i think Ao'qephoth is himself very squishy.

Because the suit is the Black Talon, not the pilot.......
I guess OP is new. Since i remember the days when people wanted Black Talon to be made easier.
....
Maybe they should put one of the Epic Galactic Class Cosmics in the Tutorial, one with 900 billion Health. That would be OK, since you have to do the Tutorial only once, you can skip it after that.
It would surely teach people how to BLOCK.
Yup.
