Shade Walker, come on GG

Seriously, nerf shade walker. Show me another mod that does so many different things. ALL recovery turned off? Physical degen? TP on what seems like no cooldown at all? Inflicts blind, making you easier to kill and less likely to do damag?

What's the counter if you're ranged and it has shade walker + prox tang? What's the counter if you're melee at al? It's bad designed, insanely overtuned and it's been long enough. Jesus lord, turn this off until it's reworked. It's a roll of the dice with every abyss to whether or not you get a shade walker and die. The only counter is to one shot it before it can do anything and even still it might kill you along with it.

A pet, a melee minion/companion. Along with anything on the ground (at your own feet) and then roll when the stupid mob ports on you.

Other than - it's a stupid mod. Along with all map bosses

Yes. I am loving 0.4 overall, but wow am I disappointed that Shade Walker is still just as hard to see, extremely damaging, and overall anti-melee as last season.

Pea green death on top of pea green ground that drains your health in an instant while negating many of your defensive layers and is delivered by a mob with an unavoidable teleport is so many of PoE's problems in one mod. Losing an abyssal depths to it and not getting the chance to return feels awful.

For melee I'd say Shade Walker is far deadlier than any other mod in the game. Hell it's probably deadlier than any other two. Please please tune it down.

Some of these abyss rares are just ridiculous and the only counter is to nuke them from orbit before they can do anything.
Losing your valuable abyssal depths because one of these spawned sucks

delete archnem.. errr shadewalker

Shadwalkers are the thing that killed me most last league. Way more difficult than most act bosses. I don't think any mob should have teleporting ability, but especially not with all those horrible degenerative auras. Can't even run away properly.
