Ice demon: OSRS or easier?

A common complaint about the Chambers of Xeric is the Ice demon being really slow to kill. This is because of the following defensive mechanics being applied, in accordance to how it works in OSRS (
source):
Though the demon has damage reduction effects for both range and melee attack styles reducing damage to 33%, it takes 50% more damage when attacked with fire spells or the Flames of Zamorak spell and is fairly accurate due to its magic defence being calculated from its defence level rather than magic, unlike most monsters.
Do you think that our Chambers of Xeric should follow all the mechanics from OSRS, or do you think it we should make it easier (and thus faster to kill)?

I just completed a solo raid with Fire Surge and it melted the demon, excuse the pun.

Do people not use fire spells against it?

I have no problem with the Ice demon itself, the problem lies with the braziers and the kindling mechanics behind it on a scaled raid feeling broken and excessively long,. We run raids with 10+ people, and OSRS had this problem as well. The kindling put in the braziers extinguishes at a very rapid rate, in addition to the kindling doing barely any damage against the demon.
Ice demon is a great choice for solo, but 3+ I noticed it not being worth.

Understandable. We'll see what we can do about this!
