A Poor Poisonmancer in Hell Mode (Off-line)

So what am I suppose to do against those Undead which most likely have insane poison resistance and Poison Immune Monster in Hell Mode? especially when I dont have those DeathWeb, Trang Set and other godly set.

Rely on my merc to killing these monster dont really a good idea to me actually....

I actually planning to invest raise skeleton and skeleton mastery in the order to fight those pesky Poison resistance monster....

and yes, my primary attack is Lower Resist + Poison Nova against those monster in Hell Mode.

Any suggestion or tips?

Keep doing nightmare Baal runs with a Revive wand until you get enough skills point to make the poison lethal in at least the first act of hell (which you should be able to get around without too much undead interference). Act two should be the real undead problem, so start hitting Countess after you've leveled in nightmare. The runes will help your build survive more than most others, but it's true that such a build shouldn't really be attempted until you've already found some nice gear. FR/W, blocking if using a dagger, and some CB or OW on the mercenary should do fine.

If you're still having problems, or are really in a bind in nightmare Baal runs, then hit Mephisto until some decent gear drops. He's a reliable back-up for impoverished characters that are still built well.
