Undead Stygian Dolls in Nightmare level

It's mad expensive to repair items with tele charges. Though I hear Enigma costs a pretty penny as well.

you could always use the cube formula ort+chipped+weapon or ral+chipped+armor.

naj's staff has tele charges? cool! my friend has the armor and the circlet.

Yes, and lots of them (69 if my memory is not faulty). It's on my necro's switch, very useful at times, especially if your enemy is something like Lilith. :lol:

Edit: I heard that there are tele charges in Spellsteel too.

How the heck do you have over 800 posts and not know dolls corpse explode when they die? :scratch:

My friend has been playing for 2 years now, has a Smite Paladin which is only good because of Crushing Blow, and yet doesn't even know what Crushing Blow does, just knows that, and I'll quote here, "I just know it's good."

Some things people just don't notice...

And back on topic - you're lucky you live, because I simply die all the time. And they are RED, and the ground in the Throne is RED, and so you can't see them, and they are SO fast, sometimes you don't see them and you or someone else kills them while you're near them and BOOM! This is why I don't play Hardcore... (apart from other reasons. )

I *hate* those things. Everytime I hear the pittar patter of their tiny feet, I flee like a ninny and hide behind my merc.

The stygian dolls do have an explosion when they die. To quote RTB, "It's either 3.125 - 6.25% of the doll's life, or 6.25 - 12.5% of their life".

That looks like small numbers to me. Have they been nerfed in 1.10?

Anyway, I try to make sure to not kill any minions/bosses/champs of these things up close, in NM or Hell difficulty. Preferrably few normal ones as well. If I have a melee merc, I let him tank them. If not, I keep the distance by some other means. If I have no way of blinding them or summons to stop them, there is always the option of hacking them until they are nearly dead, then take them out with throwing weapons. Like all the melee flayers, they have the cycle of "attack-run away-attack-run away" behaviour. When they run away, you have your chance to slay them without being exploded.

Not as far as I know. Keep in mind that the stygian dolls also have a 5% chance of critical, which I believe also applies for their death explosion, since it's regarded as an attack.

Blast me, I didn't know too. I thought it was the speed+lag that allowed them to hit me before I could hit them. Had to pot after every WW. 2 Whirls in seq can get a 1600 life Barb(I play Classic) dead or nearly...

Re: Undead Stygian Dolls in Nightmare level

You mean you never have been amped and your merc pop one while you are teleing? I find that rather hard to believe too, unless you don't tele with your merc at all. (I do for insight) 1 hit ko for me......

Same for me. Looks like my Sorc will have to do just Andariel and Diablo runs.

No, just move on to hell, where you insight wielding merc can't one shot a doll.
