Ben, all would work well, if I didn't have the Earth Elemental trauma. You see, they were very very strong in earlier versions - and I played "death" on easy at those times. They're lethality was lowered later on - but when I played on tactical in Act 3, I had 8-9 at once in the Serrick Area (on easy only 4) - and my old trauma came again: mixing up my potion icons, starting to tremble, losing control and ... "game over", you see? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Strange, Sammy, his DK or the last boss enemy gave me no creeps, just these EA. I used nearly the same tactic as you described (DK leads in 2-hand melee, char is in aggressive as archer). But I had no skill pts left for "heal", so I relied on potions - and starting to get nervous, not being able to position distance due to these random teleportations brought me into trouble. It was not a case of wrong tactic IMO, just not being able to stay calm when I started to scroll and see their amount, thought popped up: Damn, I'm going to die again - and... well, self-fulfilling prophecy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
