Faridun Plaguebringer Corpse Explosion Spam

this is insane to deal with as a melee, please add some time for us to escape or a cooldown to that skill, with most maps being narrow corridors, I gamble my life to RNG everytime I lock myself into an animatiom of stampede or leap slam and some guy 2 screens away that I can't even see starts to spam corpse explosions. Also they are almost in every map.

Yeeeep, scare the shite out of you first time it happens huh? POP, there goes 80% of your HP bar.

Once you realize they exist, though, you can just leap to them first, or draw stuff back as you finish it so you're not standing on a corpse.

You got this mate, but yeah i know how you feel~

They literally DD from offscreen on my 21:9. "Once you realize they exist" is generally a couple seconds after the "LOL killed ya again" screen (or the 0.01 seconds you see the animation below your feet before said screen).

Faridun Plaguebearer corpse explosions are the bane of my existance. The explosion is either instant or the warnings are invisible. Wwhen you see how much damage detonating corpses do, this is really obnoxious. Those need to be telegraphed if they are to stay in the game as is.

I just got literally offscreened. I guess I can't stay more than a half second in one place.

So.. the past hours im stagnating on lvl 90 (i know whatever at this point) BUT
6/6 deaths from plaguebringer mobs pretty much one shotting from offscreen on t15/t16 maps is a joke
I can play around things i can see, probably it is the same for everyone else, unless you are running on a 3-5 mirror budget range build with 10k+ energy shield or mind over matter 10k+ mana build
if i am either blind and/or slow thats my fault, i can live with that..

But cmon.. this degen mob must be a mistake
Either remove this ability from generic white mobs completly, give them meteors or anything else
Make it boss and/or rare exclusive modifier
Or simply reduce the cast range from 2x screen distance to half screen distance, so you at least given a little bit of chance to spot the impending doom coming for you
Another alternative would be to reduce their cast frequency (cd ? increase their 0.1 cast speed to 0.8? whatever works) so its not a gattling gun explosion under your feet
Also it is worth taking into consideration that sometimes these awful mobs spawn in batches of 4-6

It is especially cancer if you are playing melee, or the layout is pretty much constructed from corridors (or something similar) where you have no option to "go around" - a good copper citadel for example

At this point unfortunately this mob type only exists to make you suffer and to tilt the living s**t out of you

Another 10% of exp lost at lvl 93 to stunlock from off screen.
No time to react, caught me mid-roll.
