I see GGG hasn't done anything about this F'ckin death trap.

This creature Thornrunner:


Is still a bad ass death trap as it always was. I'm playing a lightning witch and the combo of it's shield + elemental damage resist combined with it's thorn projectiles + Icefall type daggers + chaos damage + it moves so frick'n fast that any targeted attack like Stormcall misses a lot of the time. Arc hits but is doing very little damage even with lightning penetration. I ran into this beast here:

and I'm currently:


So this beast/bitch is bad in the Vaal side zone from which it was designed for and is still way over-tuned and another death trap to be avoided:


I ended up dieing 4 times trying to get a screen shot showing it's name and stats. I know, I know "git gud or git out" and all that blah, blah, blah and all the troll bs comments here but this is similar to any other elemental immunity shenanigans that GGG is doing (all in the name of hardcore). But having to use different builds and switch between them (one for fast mob clearing and one for tanking this beast) is just wrong design.

id advice to try a decoy totem.

The Puncture snake with Proximity Shield?
I hate that thing.

I would advice looking at the images.

It's a boss that's not in the game other than random flashback events. I don't think they will spend time to balance it. The vaal area version isn't as bad as the invasion boss.

its a vaal sidearea boss too.
that boss is no problem for a proper geared good build,the biggest reason you had so much trouble with him is that you are still leveling and thus your gear/skillsetup isnt optimized.
for leveling some of the invasion bosses where better skiped and imo for leveling its totaly fine to skip things, even though i never do and totaly hate it in endgame.

This monster is retarded to the highest degree.

"My build can't clear content, content must be removed". Pretty much the usual attitude nowadays.

This is how all mobs in maps should be
