Many content types have monsters referred to as Bosses, including Breach and Metamorph. It's a pretty widely used term.
Many modifiers and abilities reference Unique Enemies, including focus mods. These are typically noted by their health bar, with a special frame and color.
A great many nodes on the Atlas Passive tree refer to Unique Bosses. From experience in the current game, these often simply refer to the Map's Boss, not just any Unique Rarity creature that is a Boss. Those Bosses that are Unique are not considered Unique Bosses.
To complicate matters further, we now have a few nodes (in the Sextant cluster) that get even more specific: the phrase Unique Map Bosses. These nodes are NOT referencing Unique Maps, unless for some reason they are implying synergies between Sextants and Unique Maps, but not making this a Unique Map cluster?
If a Boss can be one of many different Unique enemies across content types, but Unique Bosses are not those in most cases, then what the hell even is a Unique Map Boss? Are there Non-Unique Map Bosses? Give me a break, here.
GGG, can you pretty, PRETTY please explain your wording here?
ETA: There is even a notable that uses both "Unique Boss" and "Unique Map Boss". Then, another node that has just "Map Boss". Incredible.
