I used to be able to parry and riposte to kill a 3 pack of wolves with iron mace and buckler plus armor. Now they attack fast enough to stagger lock me. It also looks like they can stand closer together or pass through each other now, cause I can't trap one behind the other long enough to kill the first. Gonna have to work up some new tactics for melee'ing them, or just suffer through it till I get my silver gear done.

I tend to dig pits to trap em. If you make a grid of 6 with thin walls between them in the snow biome(or just a couple) it becomes easier to filter out the pack and kill off the ones you dont want.

Just run around/in out the pits.
