They make an impressive display, but it's all for show (as long as you're not dangerously low on health, but at that point anything is a threat).
2 excellent methods for dealing with them:
1. Get all up in their grill; Smash them once or twice with the Omen, then dice them up with your sword. Vile Flames are simple enough to deal with just by spraying them down with the Sabbath or going wild with the Exodus (Try aiming at the ground below them). Actually, the Flames are pretty easy to kill with anything that is not a melee weapon.
2. Douse them and the surrounding area with grenades.

The Blackened (PE replacer) and its ghosts can be dealt with similarly, except you can't melee them so easily since they fly. They're slower, though, and not as tough, so it's not a big deal to gun them down. More annoying than actually threatening, although they're certainly far more of a threat than vanilla Pain Elementals.

I have 2 main points though. The arch vile? I just tanked it until dead, I saw no other way as it was like bullet hell mode with him.
Could you uncap the swing rate for the sword? I seem to press too quickly making me actually swing slower, if I slow my click rate slightly I swing faster but in the heat of the moment I'm not thinking about timing my clicks
Otherwise this is so excellent, so fast paced, so well thought out! Why can't full games be this unique and cool, but no. Instead we have military shooter #28921 If this were a full game on steam I would pay you good money sir.

Spoiler: Changelog

FROM 0.71b TO 0.72:
=======================================
- Kharon slashing animation time has been reduced by two tics--now people can slash again as soon as the animation is complete.
- The animation for the upward slash has been spaced out slightly for more natural movement.
- Thanks to PresidentPeople, the Blind Guardian now has a proper set of rotations.
- The environment splash sprites now follow the same desaturated 90s palette.
- WHOOPS improved.
- Soul is slightly more transparent so as to not confuse it with enemy shots.
- When in Iron Maiden, Hae-Lin can now triple-jump, as opposed to simply double-jumping.
- The Blind Guardian no longer keeps a damaged appearance when repaired.
- Bullets online no longer spatter sparks on contact with enemies.
- The Testament's reload sound can no longer be interrupted by jumping.
- The Emperor's teleport effect properly works online, now.
- The Blackened now has +VISIBILITYPULSE on his main body for no other reason than it looks cool.
- Revenant missiles now home in 100% of the time and home much more aggressively. Enjoy!
- The Archvile's flame pillars no longer wander so wide out and have lost their multi-flame spread attack, but in exchange fire much more aggressively and spew out constant streams of attacks.
- Long, long ago in the mod's development, I made enemy projectiles shootable so that the pistol could shoot them down as well. As development went on, this proved too OP for the Testament and Sabbath and the ability was removed. The behavior has been tweaked, removing all of the vestigial bullet stuff while keeping the sword capable of cutting down projectiles.
- Because of this, this frees up the bullets' species to be able to shoot through allied players in co-op.
- For rare instances where you're trapped behind a forcefield or projectile-blocking wall or something and you need to shoot a switch, each bullet-gun has been given a perfectly accurate damage-less hitscan.
- The back special is now much more effective in destroying enemy shots.
- An attempt at making a 'less effects' cvar was made and quickly resulted in frustration, screaming, and grey hair. To make up for it, the effects on the Exodus, Omen, the explosive barrel, and Cyberdemon's rockets have been toned down slightly.
- Picking up multiple invulnerability powerups in a row no longer results in them getting stuffed in your inventory.
