All you need for fishy is high damage merc weapon

He will provive corpses (my merc is more powerful than the whole pack of skellies) and then just explode them. I never use highr than p1 except against bosses,ther chars can handle that better
And for Baal running there is 3 tricks I use:
1) Ammy of teleportation. I have really short map and teleporting will make it even shorter. Getting to Throne in no-time is a good thing. It is also very handy to teleport with your army next to Baal
2) CB on merc. I used Phase Blade with Eths and Shales socketed before and gave some CB gear to my necro to whack him a bit but merc can do that all much better and without the hassle swithing CB and MF gear around
3) Last but not the least: slvl 16 Clay Golem. That is enough to slow Baal so much he can't use his attacks/spells or summon his clone. I don't need to use Decrepify for that, I can use Amp safely
edit: this is going a bit OT, isn't it? Sorry for hijacking, red_devil :innocent:
