Should some of the enemies be buffed?

In particular, Chromalisks and Scuttlebots.

I almost feel bad killing these things, they're so pathetic, even in mobs.

I think chromalisks are fine.

I think chromalisks are fine. Their spit can be obnoxious.

Yes, scuttlebots do need to be stronger, at least in tier 3.

OMG, I am so for a buff on both these monsters. The chromalisk spit really doesnt pose much a threat cause u can dodge it. And they die too easily.

It could just affect the T3

It could just affect the T3 bots. Roarmulus is T2.

Scuttlebots seem like their

Scuttlebots seem like their advantage is supposed to be that they attack in numbers. Like Left 4 Dead's Common Infected-- simple, predictable enemies that are wimpy individually, but dangerous in a horde.

...Scuttlebots don't spawn in hordes, though. They take up the same spawn pattern as any other monster.

Hmm.

Hehe, oh goddess that would be fun. Enter a room, step on a party button and 100 Scuttlebots appear all at once. It would be worth it just to watch people freeze up in an "oh s**t" moment.

You know while I am generally

You know while I am generally against nerfing monsters, I feel that some shouldn't be buffed as well.

It probably doesn't make sense to most people, but it's just as important to have laughably easy enemies, as it is to have difficult ones in a game. I would be all for adding variants of these monsters that are considerably more difficult though, even more amusing if they spawned randomly with groups of the normal type, it'd be an interesting surprise at the least.

100 scuttle bots would be hillarious. It would be like cutting through 100 treasure boxes.
The regular chromalisks need a buff, but the spitting ones are good when they suppourt something else. Prehaps spitters could get the lick attack as well, and normal ones could produce stun spit?
Scuttlebots on the other hand, go unsaid. Of course they need a buff, they are walking pinatias. I think something that quickly makes scuttle bots and runs around would be formiadble though, and would prevent a scuttle-buff.
