Zealers and Iron Maiden How do you deal?

This is my first zealer ive had hammerdins before.

I just wondering how more experienced zealers deal with it.

A bow/gimmers on switch/act 1 merc are the usual. You could also try to target and remove the OK's first. If you happen to get cursed with IM and your not in midswing run around until you get re-cursed.

You can also use cleansing to remove the curse a lot faster.

iirc there's a guide on dealing with IM. with all the gear recommendations. you can try the search function if it works =P

nonetheless, you can't go wrong with going range to deal with IM as mentioned by bamf.

or you could use a low damage wand with high elemental damage and continue zealing with conviction as main aura.

for example here's mine..
Plague Song
Bone Wand
One-Hand Damage: 3 to 7
Durability: 12 of 15
Required Level: 67
Staff Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 86
Fingerprint: 0xf1a42eea
+12 to Energy
Adds 137-214 fire damage
Adds 2-332 lightning damage
8% Mana stolen per hit
+1 to Life Tap (Necromancer Only)
150% Damage to Undead
Level 5 Sacrifice (32/32 Charges)
Socketed (1: 1 used)

here it is..

additional to the guide of Lanceor. i recommend to use charge and smite (forget the holy shield in cs if you're going to use smite) instead of weapon switch.

i prefer to feel the risk of instant death. even lots of experience loss

edit: stay close and move a lot around those mage knights kill one by one and patience is the key
