ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Alright, so I just want to know if it's just me and I'm doing something wrong, or if other people feel the same way. I have been playing on nightmare rougelike(i've beaten normal rougelike so I'm trying the next step up) and my last few characters have all died to the same thing, a rare with double steam guns. My last death was to a Hornet with double steam guns. Besides the fact that it felt really stupid to be dying to a hornet dual wielding pistols, it also seemed unreasonably strong(keep in mind I'm doing the classic campaign, not EoR). The hornet had a base 200% global speed, so it was firing off 4-6 shots per turn. And with strafe, it was impossible to run away.

Simply put, these random ass insects are consistently mowing down my characters and the 200% global move speed plus double steam guns seems way stronger than anything else I am encountering in the tier 2 dungeons. None of the rares or bosses will be any trouble at all up until one of these guys comes out of nowhere and two shots my character. Maybe I just needed to vent because of how bad it feels dying to a snake wielding 2 more guns than they have hands. So ya, anyone else feel the same way?

I think it was mentioned somewhere, that embers clases are stronger in general, not just on mobs.
so, unless you want a challenge run, you have to either have to be an ember class yourself, or disable the addon.

if you were an ember class yourself... well i don't know what to say. don't own myself.
also... yeah 200% global does seem pretty op.

Yeah another poster mentioned a rare sawbutcher tiger came out of stealth and killed him 1 round. I've had some good fights against the 3 EOR classes but have yet to meet an overwhelming one. Does sound BS to have some ultra-fast hornet shooting you 6 times a turn, but I feel like that particular monster type would be boss as nearly any class. I can picture a similar outcome if it were a Reaver, a Doombringer, ect. It's the 200% speed more than the class. Not sure about the snake one though.
