A. I assume you are not playing HC?
B. If you want a golem who distracts enemies instead of killing them use a an iron golem created from a 4-socket palashield with perfect diamonds, loads of resits.
C. Bone Armour can be areal saviour, don't neglect it!
good hunting
hi assur,
A. no, softcore, i died so often meanwhile it would suffice for half the HC ladder :)
B. i never thought about it, sounds like a good idea and could save me a skillpoint in summon resist...
also, the thorns aura is nice, the only prob is ranged mobs..specially the archers on the top of foothills, man they can hurt!
C. yea i know =l i still got some levels to do left and will look up some table to see if it is still worth it :(
Quote:The main M.O. is to cast Dim Vision ahead of him and then assess what sort of monster we have to deal with. After that, I find I usually cast Decrepify and scamper around the statue-like monsters, stabbing as many as possible, re-casting Decrepify often, before it wears off. Then I back off and keep the Decrepify up and let the merc jab them to death, and aid the process with Poison Explosions. Renewing the Dim Vision on the ranged attackers is sometimes needed too, as the poison damage takes so long to finish monsters off.hi shadowhm,
dim vision seems to be a good idea, this could definately help with uber ranged mobs..i gotta give it a try in my next build.
also i have to note that attract can be very very nice, although i used it back in 1.09 together with iron maiden and a summon / corpse exp mancer.
btw i forgot to mention
trang oul's gloves ( a necessity.)
and i tried the ancient tunnels this night, works rather good
