A reminder for Priest of the Sun

I came back to play PoE 2 after months, since 0.3 got me excited to play the game again.

Just a small reminder before 0.3 that I do expect the Priest of the Sun mob to be rebalanced. There is simple not enough resources in the game to deal with it.

If you can kill it off screen, good for you, but the mobs has a lot of issues:

1. Laser beans are too fast, and they can easily outrun you, stick into you like aimbot, and keep going until you die if you don't get close to the mob in time.
2. Laser beans can start offscreen, giving you no chance some times
3. They become incredible op on open maps, where there is no wall to hide
4. Walls made by skill (at least ice walls) does not block the beam, giving no fight chance for the player
5. The DPS is just too high. Even with max Fire res, that thing melts you
6. Since they force you to get close to him fast, that mean putting yourself in a unknown danger, since they usually are were mobs still alive (and we all know how easily is to get overwhelmed by huge amount of mobs on high tier maps with 6 affixes)

GGG, You did amazing mobs and bosses in the game, but this sun of priest REALLY needs a better design.

Not to mention if he spawns as a rare mob, you may not be able to kill him in time, even if you notice him...

Usually it kills me when it's rare. And always the context is the same:

- Started the bean outside the screen
- Map has no cover to hide
- Its a rare monster

On my build, if ice walls could block them, I would totally not complain. But many builds does not have skills that creates walls that block projectiles. So I really think they should at least cap the speed of that beam, so we can dodge roll out when getting off screened by him.

Obs: I have 35% move speed. And I still can't outrun the laser beam. I imagine how more casual players that has no move speed would feel fighting that thing.
