Leaving Scrakes and Fleshpounds for certain perksFocus-fire may have worked on Normal/Hard, but because the enemy health and enemy damage output is drastically increased, players have to resort to cleaner and efficient methods for taking out the bigger baddies. You may want to take a look at a Berserker guide for more details on kiting. It's also a great fallback tactic if/when your camping spot gets breached and you need to escape.
