I think doombots have to be learned and have a different playstyle. Call it very passive.
But they are nowhere near annoying then the aq sentinels. All the same sp's. Sp1 long time not punishable. They are boring. I can't tell the same from the doombots in the moment.
Their playstyle to me is in between the extremely difficult AI in further arena runs and the easy AI in the beginning, yet kinda separate on their own. I agree with OP and am in a similar boat completion-wise. I feel that they should maybe stay the same to provide the summoner with a challenge after many repetitive fights, but those cheap shots and activating specials through block hits raise my eyebrows something fierce.

I have not done map 5, but from what I've heard, this is accurate
