By coincidence, my latest baby druid came across a +1 Poison Creeper, +3 Ravens pelt last night. With no other skills and 3 chipped topazes in a short bow nothing in Act 1 was getting close to him. The trick is to spam the creeper so that unblinded monsters always have an alternative target. This is hardcore so I haven't tried him on cows yet.
The other trick is to sneak a ride into Act 2 and pick up an Act 2 merc: I hired a Prayer one at level 6 long before killing Blood Raven. Gave him an ethereal superior bardiche. I worry about whether I'll lose him now that Kashya wants to talk to me.
