Retreating
by Xensor



One of the most important part of playing diablo is knowing when there are too many tuffs for you to fight. In this case the best thing to do is fall back and thin them out. I'll just list a few methods that I do often.

Using Guardian: If you're running away from fire succeptibnle monsters then cast a few guardians (4-5 - more if possible) in front of you. This increases the time in which the baddies will get hit by the guardians. If you cast it behind you, you'll be casting it on top of them which isn't as effective. Other variations might be teleport away, face the monsters, cast your guardians between you and the chasers. now teleport back and forth so that the monsters chasing you is always within range of the monsters. Also as they are coming towards you...fireballs now and then won't hurt.

Stone Curse: If you make a really big mistake and alert a whole bunch of monsters, run away and cast stone curse a few times. Keep running and the monsters will keep chasing (the stoned ones will stay put DUH!) repeat the earlier steps until they are thinned out to an amount that you can handle.

Doorway: Retreat to an opening of a door which will let you take only one monster at a time. Casting firewall or guardian in front of the doorway will also help.

Golems: Golems are good diversions. Cast Golem in front of you. When the monsters chasing you come across the golem. They'll beat him up before deciding they wanna chase you again. This will give you time to cast a few offensive spells towards them. It won't matter how long golem lasts, if your golem is weak it will still slow them down somewhat. Of course a stronger golem would be better.
