Long time lurker, first time poster. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm on Act IV and just went into the battlefields. I have two questions:

First, do I need the teleporters in Act IV? Mine seem to have disappeared, disturbingly. If I do I'll back up and reload from earlier, but man that would be annoying.

Secondly, BLACK RING CLERICS! They're whomping my sorry butt! I can take one at a time, but as soon as I get into the dungeon, they start just killing me! How can I counter that hammer spell??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> What's a good strategy here?

My hero is an archer (with solid 2-handed crushing abilities and a few good spells); my DK is a 2-handed slasher with more roguey-abilities on the side.

This is only my second RPG (DD was my first!) so I don't know much about spells and skillsets and whatnot, and I may be overlooking something enormously obvious in my newbieness.

Thanks,

Hi, Koi <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Pyramids => they're supposed to disppear, is part of the game design

clerics stunning you => how high is your spiritual resistance (crystals?) I stunned them first, by seeing them - hitting "pause" and targeting them then - and kept large distance between my 2 chars. So, if the first was stunned, the 2nd could still attack. Same for the disease spell, the green cloud, where you lost your abilities to use a weapon or wear armour.

I had a mage archer and a melee DK.

Hi Kiya!

Thanks for the tips. I'll check on my spiritual resistance. Otherwise I'd more or less come around to the technique you mention, though I'm still working on not stinking at it! And good to know the teleporters are gone on purpose!

(and thanks for all your other helpful posts on the board, btw. You've gotten me out of many a tight spot!)

check you bone resistance as well => this spell does bone res. Sorry, forgot to add this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

You might wanna consider using the sneak skill with your archer.
It's quite possible to kill the clerics this way (not that high life) without them ever seeing you.
