It's not their power that makes will-o-wisp difficult, it's the fact that their hitboxes are smaller than they look, making them very hard to hit as an archer or mage.
I have seen that it's hard to hit them with an arrow indeed, but that would require Unreal Engine knowledge to fix AFAIK, not the "simple" CS mod that this is.
I've found what makes them difficult is them trailing miles behind me and then killing random NPC's while I'm doing other stuff. Gotta give those poor bastards a fighting chance while these little sparkly serial killer motherfuckers are around.
I thought they were just immune to magic, my fire bolt kept going through them... So I was just "missing" them huh...
Even on Master diff with a nerf mod they are extremely annoying to deal with, and I don't want to chug down an entire stock of a big store worth of potions while running around them like a moron chipping away at their health just to get some goo. The most aggravating thing about them is their massive self heal as they suck you dry of all your juices... If only they were some hot babe...
Oh it's absolutely their power. I can hit them plenty easily. What would normally destroy another enemy doesn't do much damage to them and they immediately heal.
At low levels they are undeniably overpowered, more so than any other enemy by orders of magnitude. They can lay several spells on you very quickly with no cast animation which drain your health and mana while damaging your attributes. If you're an archer or a mage you shouldn't be engaging them at range - get in close using touch spells or stealth attacks.
Thank you bunches for this! I know I'm on Master difficulty but I just can't fking stand spongy enemies and/or obnoxious little shits like this one (or difficulty settings in general)... Could you also nerf their massive self regen? That's probably the most annoying thing about these wisps.
