While the change to help dodge better was good Pox Hounds still remain the most random enemy in the game. Hitting them makes them recoil out of melee, sometimes they just fly into the sky, sometimes they just run in a circle at mach 20 then leap at you. And to make it worse, sometimes they just igno…
