Diablo 3

Hehe... the skeleton puppets you mention are among the most annoying enemies in the game. When they die they explode, causing massive damage to anything standing next to them (especially in Hell mode!). I usually deal with them by using ranged attacks or letting my mercenary (yes, I always have an aura-using mercenary with good equipment along) or a minion finish them off - the explosion doesn't seem to affect mercenaries/minions, only your own character.

heh, i mainly use the barbarian, not much at all for ranged attacks -.-

n yeh i cracked n started hirin mercs too coz i couldn't get past that grotesque undead that killed n skinned ppl n lives in the sewers of that arabian village, but the mercs die too fast n cost a lot to rehire/heal.

As for most annoying monster, ALOT OF DAMNED THINGS are nominees!! from those jungle kids that made me punch my poor screen to the leeches that are immune to physical, the scarrabs that kill u with chain lightning reactions (explosion if they die), let alone all those creeps in LOD's last act!

Mercs can survice pretty well if they have a high level and you give them good enough equipment Of course, I don't sacrifice just anything for a merc, but certain unique polearms for example are excellent for a merc

Anyway, we are getting a little off topic here. I think there's some old D2 thread somewhere...

Yeh, I only found out very recently that u can give'em weapons n stuff, i dont think that was possible in D2, but they drag me in lots of 'uneeded fights' espcially when i need to recover n runaway from a monster they pick on'im, die, n lead'im to me >.<

the ones using ice r the best coz they slow/stop most monsters, but downside is that they explode when killed the monsters leave no body to mangle with
