How to beat the Lag?

[Premezilla]

20 Dire Wolves
20 Grizzly Bear

Ummm.....correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you only allowed to have either wolves or grizzlies? I remeber reading something or the other in a manual or strategy guide that you have to choose between wolves and the bear.....but my memory may be skewed, as it was a long time ago. Any, a good merc to use would be the act 2 nightmare defensive, as it provides with the holy freeze aura. If you give him good armor and a weapon, he can hold his own, and keep the enemies at bay until the lag passes. I myself use the act 2 nightmare defensive, and I find him very effective. Just a thought.
