...Trying to put the Thawing Potion back into the game!
Thawing and Antidote potions are great now, especially for mercs when going up against known poison/cold damage critters, like Andariel. :)
I usually feed an Antidote potion to my merc BEFORE he goes up against bad poison critters, the 30 seconds of enhanced Poison Resistance is usually enough to get him through the fight.
This brings up the biggest problem I've seen with most parties I've been in. Most players are in such a hurry that you don't have time to prepare for the big fights. The result is that those fights often DO turn into a "click-fest", which could have been avoided with a little preparation. Of course, the whole point of ANY game is how fast you can get through it, right?
