Quote:Act 1 Hell is hard because there are lots of undead (no leach).You actually can leech from undead. It is the skeletons that you can't leech from. Zombies might have a "resistance" to leech, though (33% effective, IIRC). So a low amount, but still leechable.
Quote:There are also lots of ranged attackers which is tough for melee characters - a shield would help. Against ranged monsters, try walking (not running) up to them and pick them off one at a time, while drinking potions if necessary.Why go to them and take hits when you can make them come to you while not attacking (until in melee range)? Taunt causes monsters to run up to you before they attack, and use a melee attack (if they have one... really usefull against those annoying Flayer Shamen).
Quote:ps. The double swing tree is not a waste. Frenzy is great.Frenzy isn't so good at level 1. :P There are only so many skills to go around.
