Shade Walker is too much damage

The fun part of the Abyss shade walkers is that they most likely exist to mess with ranged characters, they TP on you after all. But the one paying the actual price are melee chars, like most mechanic in the game.

Forcing melee to have 1 slot used only for range when they bump into one of those (I did that last season on monk) is terrible design. I'm all for challenges as long as they aren't BS.

Would love a stat check like they did on the volatile plants on those shade walkers, only for melee skills users of course.

get this out of the game GGG WAKE UP BRO HOLY ITS BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE MONTHS ??????

I don't normally complain, but this mechanic is too oppressive; please fix it.

And if just one shade walker shows up, somehow I might be able to kite and freeze it and use that window to kill it. But usually the two of more Abyss boss spawn together, so when I was trying to finish off this shade walker, two others will come and kill me instantly.

9 of 10 deaths just cuz this mode! I hate this so much! My melee slam bear can run t15 6 mods easily but every time i face shade walker i just insta dead. My HP drops from full to zero faster than the "Rampage" skill wind-up animation starts. I’ve already got a huge collection of videos showing this mod vaporizing me in a split second. I always have an Omen of Resurgence in my inventory, but it doesn't help me against the Shade Walkers. It just gets consumed without giving me any healing because the Walker's debuff blocks all incoming heals. Fix when?

it suckes for ranged as well... i have 50% runspeed and cannot get away from some of them... between the teleport and their move speed its redic.

this^^^^ past 2 days i logged in and played till i hit these abyss shades and its game over no matter what i do. its so frustrating i just log out for the night.getting harder and harder to log back in between that and the terrible loot. these streamers get more loot in 1 map than i got in over 2 weeks of mapping.
