Not to sound like a complete moron here, but how do you deal with the ice bats with the cone of cold attack as a melee chara? I always end up just having to walk up to them and eat a ton of pain along the way. Even when I remember to move skill past them I often just eat shit when they turn around.
Just so you know, they once did a LOT more damage. Pre Empowered monoliths, these were among the most feared monsters in the game, known far and wide for their sudden and inescapable one-shots!
Seriously though, cold res and bonk 'em, theyâre soft.

I will make sure to get proper snow boots next time.
Also, terrifying!!
Once they start spraying their ice breath of love, they are immobile and donât change direction, so if you can side step them or use a movement skill to get behind them you can bonk them.

Besides what @UltraboltNovacrunch said, you should also try to get a good eHP pool against them with things like HP, Resistance(cold), Endurance and other sources of damage reduction.
What makes them so deadly, is that their cone is considered a DoT, meaning it doesnât âhitâ, meaning you canât dodge, block or glancing blow it and Armour doesnât have any effect.
Also getting good movement speed will certainly help to move out of the cone, once you are caught in it.
They are also vulnerable to melee attack and you can Literlly one shot them with almost any melee skill.
