Not everybody has a dodge ability and I am already paying attention to the stuff that's happening. The DC's skill set is too much BS for routine and new players. The templar boss is a joke - all you need to do is kite him and have ranged pour on him. The only way Templar boss gets you is when you're in a confined area and don't pay attention.
If you opt out of a dodge abilty then the penalty for doing so is that you cant dodge in favor of another skill. The player must decide if its worth it to have increased mobility/evasion (it almost always is).
Its also a boss. Its not supposed to be a cakewalk. Its also incredibly easy once you know his skillset. Ive had no issues whatsoever with demons since i bothered to learn how the commander works.
As for the templar, he needs kiting. The templars have 2 strong ranged units, this is what kills you more often than not.
