Miraak fight is genuinely harder than Karstaag and nobody talks about it

I just finished my first Dragonborn playthrough and Miraak absolutely wrecked me way more times than Karstaag ever did. Like, Karstaag is this big damage sponge but at least he stays in one place. Miraak keeps teleporting around, summoning those dragon priests, and I swear he was healing himself faster than I could damage him.

I was running a pretty standard sword and board build at level 48, not even optimized or anything. Took me like six attempts before I figured out you basically have to wait for him to land and then burst him down before he ports away again. The whole fight felt way more about memorizing his patterns than just out-DPSing him.

Am I just bad or does anyone else find Miraak way more annoying than the other endgame bosses? Karstaag felt like a test of whether your gear was good enough. Miraak felt like he had actual mechanics.
