I suppose fault lay a lil bit on both sides.
On our players that we forgot devs hinted at very onw game start about high-unkillable by any non-lust attacks enemies. And devs...well they hinted possibility for such enemies to...lay silent until few(ish) weeks ago to throw endgame (for now) boss tier enemy that is only weak to lust dmg while others types are hardly tickling her.
With time when we get few more such enemies also as some generic ones people would learn this lesson hard or soft way to also use lust attacks sometimes. xD
1st off: What Class are you? Max Level and a Vamp Blade from the KihaCorp shop on Myrellion are extremely helpful. You can also buy energy restores from the Honey Stall in gold territory, ask for it To Go, you'll probably want a good number of that. I don't really know of a effective health restore item that isn't one use or self inflicting lust so energy is gonna have to be my guide for you.
Merc: Take cover or smack with melee, Head Butt Amara, if the stun fails and you use melee for evasion boosting, then strike again, then Cleave or Grenade until goons are dead and done. Restore if needed and Headbutt, Rapid Fire/Heavy Strike, then rinse and repeat the Headbutt/Damage Skill.
Tech: Stun with Static Shock or Overcharge, AoE skill til goons are dead and done, restore energy as needed, Stun and Volley/Overcharge.
Smuggler: Stealth/Disarm Amara, Flash Grenade, Grenade until goons are dead and done, restore energy as needed, flash or stun and Aim Shot/Sneak Attack her.
Over all, make sure your covered from her assault in some fashion, weather hiding yourself, blind/stun, disarming. Just make sure you got energy to do such so you can consume a energy restore because she hits like a truck so you don't want her moving.
I beat Amara on a few runs before I even realised she could be teased. A lot of other pirate-type enemies (I think the ones in Saendra's missions, for example) can't be, and honestly I just didn't think to try.
Infected myr in deep caves, while can be brute forced down, is easier to tease. She even gets stunlocked if that's all you do. Super easy. Max tease with the right like and you can two shot her.
I forgot about those girls. Still one other exception does not do well in reinforcing the game concepts taught with the combat tutorial.
Gray Goo boss battle works similar, either defeat her physically 3 times or so, or tease em down once.
Yep, so it's not that it isn't enforced, just people don't think about it because it's not a main priority. I think it's mostly a mindset thing; got weapons, use weapons. I know I tried bruting Gray Prime first time and I lost, thinking she's invincible, so I tried Lust and hey presto one round and a win.
The regular Gray Goo are effective against teasing as well, they can do a "quickie" when ever they feel like it. Certain boss battles will auto masturbate unless you combine a stun skill into the mix.
I don't think Prime got the chance to release Lust with me. I musta gotten lucky or I just don't remember.
I don't particularly need a DEEP combat system either, but I'm into dominance and power fantasies, so beating the crap out of anyone who gives me some attitude is very satisfying.
Why don't you turn Easy Mode on, then? Just pretend that it's called something different.
The feeling of wiping the floor with your enemies. The best example I can think of from personal experience is late-game Borderlands 1 where you have uniques/legendaries with great stats just mowing through enemies.
