Drifters and their constant rock throwing...

I'm of the mindset that this feature was a decent idea to combat players simply building to get away from Drifters... However, that was before we got the Bowtorn. Now that we have this brutal ranged enemy, it's admittedly quite annoying for us to also have stones getting hurled at us non-stop.

First off, I know mods exist to prevent them from throwing stones all together. That's not really what I'm looking for! I'm fine with Dirfters punishing players that are currently unreachable, that's cool. However, if a player IS reachable, they shouldn't be rapidly throwing stones.

I constantly have Drifters lazering me from two blocks away with no obstacles in sight. And frankly, it sucks. It sucks to waste healing items on the chip damage. It sucks to have to repair my armor and clothes from it after the fact. And it makes exploring dungeons hellish without armor when there's 3+ Drifters sending homing rocks at your face. It's just a constant annoyance in every play through.

Ultimately, I want to see Drifters changed to focus melee with the players. They shouldn't prioritize ranged attacks at all unless the player is both in sight and fully unreachable. A simple change, that imo, would definitely be for the better!
