Nerf Blightstormers already!

Hi! All specials are fine but Blightstormers. They cast the storm usually from places you cannot reach or miles away and they create situations you cannot do anything about. It is not fun to be killed by something you can do nothing about. It is especially frustrating in CW when you can kill two monsters, horde and some specials at the same time and then the whole team is killed by just two or three Blightstormers…
Their max casting distance needs to be set to like 20 -30 m. Then it will be fine.
Thank you.

Yeah I do agree something needs to be done about them as they’re especially frustrating to deal with.

The biggest thing of all is probably line of sight which should be MANDATORY during the entire duration. Meaning to cast the storm the caster must have clear line of sight and not hiding behind a wall. And just as importantly, once the storm is active, the caster must always be within line of sight of the storm at all times to maintain it rather than teleporting out of the map…

Some patch around a year ago broke them and allowed them to cast through solid walls and it’s only been getting worse since.

The most famous example in my mind is the last corridor before the nurgloth bossfight in which there’s always one caster on the other side of the wall.

It can happen everywhere else too but that’s the first one I noticed and it happens to this day.

Setting their max casting range to 20m wouldn’t fix the only thing that’s actually broken about them. They simply need to not be able to cast through walls. Imo, they do too much damage for how inescapable their ability sometimes is and for how strongly they slow you.

You just reminded me of something else that pisses me the hell off.

I was trying to get the Nurgloth achievement where nobody can get hit by the eruption so I killed all my allies before starting the Nurgloth fight.

Immediately as I enter the boss fight my character got hit by the Lifeleech mid-cutscene and the fight was literally over before it began.

Just had this annoying POS ruin Weave 77, we killed everything and the weave didn’t end, till after the timer ran out and he teleported into the map. The fat useless POS sat outside of the map for the whole last wave :angry:

I just played CW and everything was great, I had all items, good boons… but at the prefinal map the storm of the blightstormer that I canoot see catches me and all my bots and throw us all of the cliff. I did not even know that it is possible… :frowning:
