While I'm posting so much this afternoon, I thought I'd ask about combatting stealthers.
I've been getting attacked quite a lot in DF recently when I've been XPing by solo SBs. I have no BB, and only the standard Necro buffs (48 Sight & 24 Servant).
I haven't managed to win a fight with an SB once - the best I've managed so far is to reduce one to 50%.
Now, some wait until I'd finished fighting a mob before attacking and others would attack, get me to a shade above death then stop and let mob kill me.
What can I do to stand a better chance against stealthers generally? Is there a series of options I can follow, or am I to just accept that I am as good as dead if targetted, and that's it?
To lower the chance of getting killed while fighting a monster, I adopted the practise of QC my AOE while in combat, and hoping it would destealth anyone nearby. I also do this before and after a pull.
Apart from that, the only thing I can think of doing is to cast a HoT immediately that I get BS'd or PA'd.
I'd be interested to read any advice from any other Necros who farm DF regularly for methods of combatting stealthers which actually work.
TIA
