Gloams, the new one hit wonders?

[Thecla]

1 shot kill types -- blizzard's official (some would say only) way of making the game difficult and adding flavour and variety to their games.

You have to wonder if this is really intended though. In 1.10, they have toned down just about every one-hit kill threat in 1.09 --- doll explosions in large games, mslebs (presumably a bug fix since the ms was never intended to apply to the lightning bolts), bad auras like fanaticism in hell, oblivion knights, Duriel's charge, Diablo's fire attack, Korlic's leap attack...

Perhaps it's just for variety that they threw in a new one-shot kill attack with the gloams (and, to a lesser extent the infector's inferno attack and some multishot archer bosses); but it makes very little logical sense to remove all the old one-hit kills only to put some new ones in.
