No non boss monster is as dangerous as a magic/rare voidbearer.

I tend to agree, my 73 ranger has garbage gear and neg resists and while Voids are the only thing I fear at the docks, I have plenty of time to get out of the flame before it kills me. Barring desync of course, but still having 1 powerful enemy wasnt the end of the world. Yes in maps hes prob a beast tho so its a good thing!

I have a shadow with 28k defence and capped resistances. I MUST use a Ruby Flask when in Docks otherwise I go from 2.1k HP down to 0 in 1 second.

With a Ruby Flask, it's about ~2.1k down to 0 in ~3 seconds.

Yes, a class that can across screen / off screen do full damage is a basis for how strong things are at normal range.

Hire this man for the balance team.

Its pretty dangerous in maps actually.

Seriously? A mob that has shitty range and has to stand still to do damage is considered dangerous?

Until you move 2 steps backwards and completely avoid the damage.

Voidbearers can be countered in melee too. Just get your resists/life/regen in order. But I'm also guessing Voidbearers are the mobs in question, only other candidate would be those Incincerators (fire themed Alchemists). If you don't have fire resist for some reason, those guys can be up there with Alchemists.

Not everyone likes to be forced to play casters / long ranged skills.

Also they can (especially in a case of a desync) can melt you faster then most bosses can.

I actually mostly play casters myself and don't have issues with them unless a get a nasty desync into them .... but still I recognize that they are a little imbalanced in comparison to anything else at those levels. And Guess what the devs agree, hence the change.

Your biased opinion is invalid.

I thought the "can get ghostly blue flame for incinerate" kinda gave it away they were talking about voidbearers

Anyone who thinks voidbearers are a difficult monster (even in maps) are completely daft. They're very slow and take forever to do their skill, not only that but their skill doesn't even hurt full unless you're upclose and ensconsed in it.

Even melees should be able to deal with this.

However, desyncs with them are dangerous and the multiple projectiles/frenzied versions are pretty much only deflatable by avoiding it.

I think they're annoying, not difficult personally. I just hate running back and always having to be at a range when they are close by, especially when I rare spawns with fast movement speed.

Its just a game of run in circles for a few minutes launching one hit here and there
