Actually, that boss is easy because of the center pillar.  If the
center pillar gets removed, the most famous tactic of doing circles is
no longer available.  In that case, you have to rely on dodging plasma
balls - which don't always come in from the same direction.  

Also, it's a major threat for the first-time player.  Why? The
newcomer doesn't know how to dodge homing projectiles that well.

Yes, that's one of their strengths: tight-quarter combat.  They are
still a threat in large groups, as it is difficult to dodge
instant-kill attacks coming in from more than one direction.

Still a challenge, even on difficulties below Rookie.  That boss does
can perform multiple attacks, that do one-hit-kills even when they
miss. Not only that, but the boss also gates in other enemies that are
extremely dangerous.

Two words: Cloaked Driller.  Even *skilled* players are scared by the
regular driller - the cloaked driller is much worse.  Not onlt that,
but the cloaked driller sometimes appears in groups...
