The mechanic is fine, the visibility isn't.

They're purple. Be ready for panic actions whenever purple enters the field.

left step, right step, step step, left left.
Into the Labyrinth!"
I would've agreed in the past, but now bloodline mobs are purple. Just assume the worst every time you see a purple pack and you'll be fine.

I'd be fine with some sort of visible indicator on the bearers, like rare mobs that have reflect or certain auras. At the current pace of the game, no one hovers over a mob and reads it mods so you end up finding out they're bearers a little too late.

I'm color blind: blue and purple are pretty much the same color.

Still, it would be much better if they drop their bomb under whoever dealt the killing blow, rather than simply under their corpse.

Small mechanics change for the ranged/melee balance.

I do. If you don't want to, then you can die. Your choice.
And btw, even if you didn't notice before, you have so much time to react afterwards and quickly move... Volatile is way more punitive than bearer.

Na, i'l pass. That sounds fairly lame and tedious.
It is really not hard to avoid the huge "omg get the hell out of here - omg omg omg bad stuff on ground - alert - alert - alert" area. I have a hard time imagining anything more obvious than this mechanic (except when it is under water).
It is fine.
