Diablo 1 HD Hellfire Mod | Awake

Ouch! Wow. I think this was a new monster in this mod.....I thought the old Acolytes, etc were bad.....these are nasty. I can handle maybe 5 or 6....but I came to a few rooms, where there must be 10-20.....my warrior dies very quickly. Granted, his fire resist is only 43. Just didn't get proper equipment to get it higher. Maybe I better run my other two characters more and figure out a way to max fire.

But, any other tips on how to deal with a swarm of these? If they would follow, I'd goad some out for their deaths, but they don't, so you have to run into their ambushes, instead! Of course, I'm probably preaching to the choir, but what are some secrets to the strategy for these bad guys?

I think my warrior is going to be stuck here for awhile.......

Quick pro tip - use blunt weapons. They're undead, so blades deal only half damage against them. If you can get a nice damage blunt of Haste, you're good to go for them
