I need some help/advice.
I've got a clvl 29 Skelemancer with:
Raise Skeleton: 24
Raise Skeleton Mage: 4
Skeleton Mastery: 3
Clay Golem: 2
Blood Golem: 2
Summon Resist: 2
Amp Damage: 2
Weaken: 2
Terror: 2
Decrepify: 2
Teeth: 2
I can switch out a wand to lose Decrepify and gain Poison Explosion: 3 or lose +1 to all my skills, and gain Dim Vision: 2
I have a Blessed Aim Merc.
My problem is Diablo. I've tried (with wands) Dim Vision and Decrepify to try to handle him. So far, nothing works. All the skeletons die, and Diablo hits me with his red lightning hose or Fire Nova almost before I can move out of the way. I don't have anything to tank him with, which is a big problem.
My primary strategy was to hit him with decrepify and use the clay golem to slow him down further - which meant recasting both the curse and the golem repeatedly, and hopefully using the bodies of the three monster packs (Lord de Seis, etc.) in the Chaos Sanctuary to raise more skeletons as needed.
Aside from partying, which is what I think is most likely, what am I missing?
