Is it actually possible to kill a cursed prowler with no blood punch available?
Or is your UN run just screwed?

If you get cursed - no you can't kill him with anything else but a bloodpunch. However. The curse won't actually kill you if i recall correctly - it just saps your health to 1 point. And you can still use your full arsenal against other enemies - thus regaining the stack and getting a bloodpunch.

Also they said that they will change him a bit next update - so that when you get hit with a curse you would instantly be given one punch.

I did during that fight near the end of Reclaimed Earth, where the possessed mancubus that spawns down below at some point, and the 1up in that locked room opens up when you kill everything. (At least I think that was the encounter I survived.)

If you can find some imps or zombies, a very, very small burst from the plasma rifle will send them into a glory kill state, but it's also extremely easy to overdo it and kill them.
two bullets from the heavy cannon will also do it for the imps.

Also, remember you have a meathook, and the plasma rifle trick with the runes equipped at the start of the DLC will make refilling the hammer, health, and armor consistently a breeze during the final boss fight.. By breeze, I mean underwhelming. Because I ran in circles in the arena and filled my health, and armor entirely during the fourth phase of the fight before returning to lure the boss to attack.

I had this situation a few times. Some I survived, some I didn't. It's important to remember that you can still meathook to other demons which is important to get out of sticky situations and/or bring you close to fodder for glory kills. That's also how you catch up to the prowler.

if you get cursed, then you cant do anything. you have to blood punch him. personally i think they should just make him as resistant as a spirit, not make him invincible to everything.

What do you mean with "can't do anything"? Untrue.
I don't understand all the hate on the cursed prowler, you only lose like 8-10 hp every second, all that means is you have to live without dashes, which is easy, (i have even done an entire run of the campaign dashless it wasn't very hard) and you have to focus on getting glory kills which is easy.

Don't quote me but I hear they're planning to charge your Blood Punch if you get hit by his swipes
