Tactics in Hell
OK, I currently have a few characters in Hell, but haven't gotten one past Act II, yet. The main one I'm working on at the moment is a Hammerdin, and I'm getting owned by undead archers. I have decent gear for both myself and my merc. I do about 5K damage with my hammers. I'm maxed for resists on fire and lightening. Cold is at 74, and I think poison is at 40. My shield isn't the greatest, so I'm only about 65% blocking when Holy Shield is activated. I have about 1K life as well. I'm using a HF merc outfitted with an AMNAMNSHAEL Hone Sundan, Duriels Shell, and Tal Rashas mask.
I'm just curious what tactics people use to deal with ranged attackers in Hell. Holy Freeze isn't slowing them down enough, and that's really all the crowd control I have. I, also, can't seem to draw them out in groups. They usually seem quite content to sit there and let me come to them. :grrr: I'm considering changing out my shield so I definitely get to 75% blocking, but I'm not sure how much of a difference that is going to make since I'm not that far off as it is.
Anyway, just curious to see what sort of tactics there might be that I'm missing. Thanks!
