Bug - Prophecy "The Ward's Ward" - powerful bearded shaman doesn't spawn

I have the prophecy "the Ward's Ward" (track down Powerful Bearded Shaman --> Unique)

After running both Prisoner's Gate and The Climb about a dozen times+ each in the last couple of hours, this guy never spawned. Doing this Prophecy at level 91 is incredibly boring. If the low spawn rate is a bug, can someone fix it. If it's intentionally an incredibly rare spawn, it's really poor game design (frustrating, boring).

His spawn rate really needs to be bumped up. (Note: it's possible that I did kill him, but it didn't close the prophecy. Things die so fast when you are level 91 on a level 7 map, I'm not sure)

Note: I only farmed Prisoner's Gate and The Climb since those are the two Area's listed in Wiki. If you need to farm him somewhere else, Wiki needs to be updated.

It required a "Powerful" version, not rare. After about 2 hours and 30 maps, I found one trapped in the center of an Essence which yielded a junky unique.

The spawn rate seems broken, considering the low quality of the unique dropped. For that amount of effort, either the reward needs to be buffed or the spawn rate needs to be more reasonable.

The "Powerful" slang seems really confusing, especially to new players. Why not just call it Rare? The term "Powerful" doesn't even come up in Wiki and isn't mentioned in the 4 tier's of Monster rarity.

Monsters come in four rarities:

Normal: The most common, and spawn in large groups.
Magic: Increased statistics, and given one monster affix. They appear in smaller groups.
Rare: Greatly increased statistics, and given three monster affixes. They spawn by themselves or with a group of normal monsters, but multiple rares may still be close together.
Unique: Custom monsters that appear in certain areas. This includes bosses.

Hmmm... I wonder if even a single player has ever thought that "flavor" text provides a better gaming experience?

It just seems to unnecessarily complicate and obfuscate an already super-complex game with unreferenced confusing terminology. Cleaning up some of the language is just one way this game can be improved to better appeal to new players.

For instance, wouldn't it be better if the actual rarity was stated; better yet, if the rarity text was color-coded to game colors? (blue, yellow, unique)

Yes. I believe that the flavor text rather than a functional description provides a better gaming experience.

Geez so salty OP.

Navali's voice is meant to have mystique and that ancient hoodoo style foresight attached to the booming echoing style of speaking. It doesn't make sense for them to do all that and then have her say "Go kill a rare X. Do it. Do it now!" Her speaking style has to match the tone she has.

Powerful as a replacement for rare seems excessively straight forward, even for a newer player in general. You just want to nit pick and be salty because it took you longer than it should have to hunt down a rare shaman. Where in reality, those prophecies are probably simpler to complete by just running maps and killing the random rare spawn without even remembering you had it as a goal because yes, the rewards generally suck, they are there just to help solo self found really who want a cheap but still hard to 100% achieve unique for ssf.
