Goatman Shaman Molten Shell Shotgun for melee needs rebalancing

I am currently mapping Tier 6 Canyon and there is quite a lot of Goatman Shamans. Each pack of them casts fireball followed by Molten Shell once they see you. This Molten Shell is worse than any T6, T7 and T8 boss I have encountered so far. It rips me instantly with Ruby Flask (capped res obviously already) and 3.2k life if I go in frontal. If I take it slowly about 3 of them will also kill me. Any melee build that doesnt have large AOE to clear from a bit of distance is going to die to them. Especially those that need to target mobs. The fire damage quite frankly is too high, when each and everyone of those Goatman Shamans has the Molten Shell up.

I am now swapping Saffell's Frame+Ruby Flask when I go to canyon maps...

Don't think any beginner will be okay with handling those packs in maps.

What is melee?

In case you havent noticed GGG doesnt care, you are one person aka vocal minority to them, your opinion no matter how legitimate or supported by real facts means nothing if you dont have the people behind you or are a popular streamer. Now go to reddit and make a thread, get many upvotes and a huge number of people commenting there and you might achieve something.

Ahahaha melee! Funny guy

3.2k isn't a lot of life. Also you know the molten shells wear off right? Kill them when they don't have them up. I remember back in the open beta days I would have to kill them once they faded, and I'm talking during the story, not even at maps.

3.2k as melee isn't enough in T6 map, also maybe when you get to the boss you'll realize lol.

I agree though the molten shell guys can be really spikey at times.

As a melee player, came back to this league after couple of them. Won't be playing melee in PoE anymore, no point.

GGG has always had some agenda against melee. I've made peace with it and I'm going to try ranged, will see how far will that go.

T6 maps at 3,2k life in melee sounds... crazy? Unless you have block/spell block, dodge/spell dodge, you are guaranteed to die a lot, at this much hp.

And this is not problem of game being poorly balanced, mind you. :v

Melee being bad for many melee-only mechanics is the other thing, tho... :<
