Issue with Kole

I have only one issue with Kole and that is being anywhere near him desyncs the crap out my game.

Avoid if possible for me. =)

I always place a totem between me and brutus/kole/whatever-his-name-is and all he does it hook and punch it, while I kill him with a ranged attack.

Kole's easy. Just cast two spork totems and wait. Recast if needed.

My issue with Kole, and I as well am going to hope this is the right forum for this, is that he seems to have gotten more adept at finding you when you skip him....
This infuriates me because I have been trying to farm Lunaris for XP, but Kole is guaranteed death every time, and he drops garbage if you do kill him. SO, I have decided that when I stumble across the Kole room that I will just skip it entirely. This is where my issue comes up, because earlier this evening, I skipped Kole completely, and cleared the next room, and then the NEXT room also. Then, feeling safe, I stopped to heal a bit, and here comes Kole, out of nowhere, with his 4 little necro buddies, and BAM there goes 10%, which is not cheap to lose at level 82. I was just shocked that he could find me 2 rooms over, but he managed it, and he brought his little entourage with him too.
WTF is that Grind Gear??
I have finished the game, and killed Dom on Merc, so now I am just trying to farm XP, and Lunaris is my spot, but I cannot understand WHY Grind Gear decided to put Kole there at all, and why he gets to have 4 necros with him too, as if he is not already OP enough!!

Puncture him then say good bye. =/

Cheap methods like the Tara Bow or the scythe unique with Heavystrike / ST.

Even better with Chin Sol + Trap + Point Blank. Even piety dies from 1 trap.

He got huge aggro range. If you've been walking to escape, he was just following you.
Next time use quicksilver to gtfo, if MS is a bit lower.
