I'm a SP MA/SD assy , currently level 59 in act 3 NM. Last night I went into the swampy pit, and those %$*& undead stygian dolls killed me a few times, didnt even give me time to gulp a red or purple. I do need to bump up my dex, as I'm not hitting as much as I would like, and my vit, as I only have about 450 life or so IIRC. (sorry, dont have the exact figures here). I have been letting my SM and my HF merc deal with them as much as possible, and for the most part it works, but I encounter a lot of boss/champ packs, and this is trouble. Any good ideas for dealing with this? Thanks.
Hi there friend, I can easily understand your frustration I have usuually encountered these beasts
in the Flayer Jungle Catacombs, the sewers under the Kurast Bazaar, and in the search for
Mephisto after destroying the council and the compelling orb on Travincal. They are super fast
and don't give you much chance. I have found the best way to survival is to be armed with a bow
but still run like hell usually and let my NPC deal with matters. I was actually hoping that someone
here would have found a solution. After all it is somewhat ridiculous that some undersized dolls
should be able to damage a well armored hero who is capable of killing all three Prime Evils.
