The waters of the BL are supposed to be quite hostile, but with lurkers constantly killing all the Anglers, it becomes fairly easy to navigate them. Perhaps Lurkers shouldn't always attack Anglers. Maybe a 50/50 chance or less. Only when they are hungry ;)

Also, Lurkers seem to have a hard time hitting the player, even when their head is literally in the player's legs. And perhaps they should hit a little bit harder as well? Not sure about that, but atleast they should be better at hitting.
