Does she also use static? Static, teleport static, teleport static, teleport, can often help speed up their demise. What she cant afford to do is stand still and get whacked unless mucho damage reduction equipped and stout ES.

The faster they die, the less likely the death of you.

Check auras when they spawn. If you dont like the auras, cast a TP. When you trigger them again, different auras spawn. If they have Holy Shock, Conviction, and HF, you could be toast awfully fast. :)

1. set up a bunch of purple pots to run to, and to pick up to reload the belt, in various corners. but dont get stuck in that corner.
2. Hit and move. Pick one to kill first, and work to evade the others.
3. dont be shy about feeding pots to your merc, but it is very likely they will die.
4. My experience is that Thrower is best first one to kill, he seems to die fastest.
5. To avoid getting nailed by WW, keep bashing Talic once thrower is gone. Hit and move is how I find that the Leap Attack never hits me.
6. If you can find a Druid with Oak Sage, ask him along. Extra life can never hurt. :)

This is not a guaranteed success formula. I have lost a char or two to ancients in Hardcore, usually due to my having clicked on a place to move and hitting a stone, which results in me NOT moving and standing there. Standing there means, usually, that it is

Time To Die. :)
