Man those nightmares are well, a nightmare! How do I remove them completely?

Nightmare monsters are cheesy because they interrupt the flow of combat.

On their own they aren't a problem because you can devote all of your attention towards them, but in pretty much any combination with other monsters they absolutely kill the game.

If you could hit them while they were invisible it wouldn't be a problem, and you could take care of them with explosions or a lucky shot, but you are only able to hit them once they initiate their melee attack much like the swamp creatures from hexen.

The best tactic is to stand still and wait for them to attack and then spam F for machete attack or give them a SSG blast.

But there is no time to stand still and wait for a monster to appear when you are forced to dodge projectiles or try to get cover from hitscanners.
Running for cover often means you bump into a nightmare forcing you to either spend precious time attempting to kill it or make a run for another place.
Kiting around in the open againt projectile enemies is also a bad idea because bumping into a Nightmare stops you dead in your tracks.

The only surefire way to deal with them along with any combination of monsters, is to stand at the opening of a bottleneck, and shoot down the corridor with a rapidfire weapon turning the game into a sentry gun simulator.

I just checked out the January release which hasn't even been posted here and there's still no option to remove spectres from the mod.
