Was wondering how many people get annoyed by the melee Shield Brother (Valus Mua'al I think). I've noticed how large the damage zone is for his melee.
Do you struggle?
Do you have a strategy?
Do you find it inherently easy to evade?
Feel free to share your story or tactics with others and provide tips.
Edit: Can't keep up. Replies a-plenty.
Edit: Listed Tactics so far (will update):
•Jump Over (Usually works. Even if you get some damage.)
•Use Core for cover (I do this and it usually works.)
•Stay on outside and rotate around map.
•Tag Team (Baits smash brother.)
•Focus on Adds (Highly beneficial and relieves pressure.)
•Use Supers (clear large groups of adds or use on boss.)
•Snipe (after retreating to the opposite side of map.)
•Have one Guardian keep the other boss busy.
•Focus mainly on smash brother.
•Move to right (when in close range and he tries to punch)
•Shadestep (I'm assuming the same idea as the move to the right.)
•Run backwards while shooting (No aiming.)
•Find working cover spot (allowing cover from boss.)

Not too much. If it killed you in one hit, then it'd be beyond irritating. With the right modifiers, it'd be practically impossible. With a hunter he's not too bad. They can jump high pretty quickly.
