Some grubs are broken

[Private Scrubzy]

grubs deal insane ammounts of damage for some reason it seems, like i can't get a good run going anymore because of a single grub that keeps damaging me without delay, anyone else has this issue? do i just need to get good?

Yes, just get good. Many enemies actually got nerfed like the fire pumpkin that used to be so annoying for many including myself now shoots projectiles that fly slower

As for grubs, yes, they did get faster, primarily Elite Grub whatever it's called. It basically starts charging you so make sure you get away from it as fast as possible. Use dash and slide on repeat. Speed Demon perk will help a lot vs him

it's actually one of the smaller grubs i struggle with, but i guess it's still balanced in other ways, just a nitpick

The fire pumpkin needed a nerf. It could (as it was never alone) carpet an entire map in fire AoEs despite the fact it lacked LoS to do that.

Now I do find the charging grubs annoying insofar that they just 'speed' up but their animation doesn't really match 'charging at you'.

However, the change to fire ants and Shotgun elites absolutely sucks. ♥♥♥♥ these new versions. Shotgun grab just became multiple projectile bazooka crab

Fire ants attacked in a very avoidable pattern so they got buffed so you could just jump over their stuff 24/7

Ice skulls no longer attack as fast, their projectiles are slower

Elite Pumpkins no longer can hit you by firing 69 barrages of fire all around which, on one hand, is more balanced, on the other, they now feel almost somewhat weak compared to other elites IMO

Dunno, just playing through this thing, normal enemies now day way more damage to you, I keep dying to normal mobs over and over while I clear elites with ease. What's going on lol? Why are elites suddenly so much weaker?

Lightning crabs' bouncy attacks also dont seem to bounce all that much, very easy to dodge now

Charging grubs are an issue, I agree. Just try to keep air hang time by utilizing pickaxe skill in mid-air to cover more ground while dashing

True Nightmare is broken now

grubs are too op chasing you down aoe-ing through walls
elemental enemies in general are too strong

also so many times enemies spawning right behind me even though i havent moved is lame af

The small grubs seem to be able to hit through Invincibility. In other words they can hit you a multitude of times in a few frames. Or maybe even just one if physics and display are separate frames. On the third Island of the first biome I had a grub oneshot me from 150 health. The Fire crab with its slam attack was previously the only thing with such high damage.

ye i was kinda wrong with my post. I do admit normal enemies have become too strong and I don't like it either. Worst major update I've personally seen. Idk what kind of brew Noisestorm cooked up but this witchcraft is obviously just not working out. I'm struggling myself playing in True Nightmare. I keep dying to normal enemies far more than to Elites, like WTF is going on
