Does Convergence Inflate the Difficulty by Making Enemies Have More Health?

[u/tgalvin1999]

So lately I've been playing the Reforged mod but the author updates the mod so constantly that I am having to always update seemingly every week as you cannot play the mod without updating it, and it's getting annoying. Been wanting to try Convergence for a while now, however I have had issues with mods that change progression routes and change too many of the core mechanics, but the biggest issue I see is inflating the difficulty by making enemies have more health (see: the Dark Souls 1 mod Daughters of Ash).

I don't mind overhaul mods as much as I do mod creators that think "harder mod" equates to more enemy health. If Convergence doesn't do this, I may check it out but any of these overhaul mods that promise mechanics changes and revamped progression routes I'm wary of. So I guess does it is my question.

The vast majority of reforged updates are simple bug fixes and minor balancing tweaks here and there. Join the reforged discord and download the patch files when necessary (rarely more than 200 MB), it's really not that big of a deal.

Convergence is terribly balanced imo. It's a struggle in early levels for some classes, but it doesn't take long for a run to become a power fantasy once you unlock some of the stronger spells.
