Mercs try to reach you in a direct manner and that doesn't help if there are walls in between. I have prayer on Barb but I think assassin used something else to help attack rating. Especially annoying as I use him more than the first chapter mercs, his auras can be useful.

He does it all the time to Barb, maybe as my walk speed is 45% faster due to a combo of bonuses (boots + runeword in chest piece.). Its annoying the 1st chapter one always disappears in maybe the Dark woods, and the 2nd chapter one is worse still. Major gripe I have is: Mercenaries who randomly stop walking and only way to unfreeze them is to portal to town, or go into a cave. I get a game I want to play, weather turns bad. Weather is reason I am not playing right now, incoming storm I may not make same thing for Barb and aim for another runeword later on. You can make up for this with Replenish Life on any piece of gear.

The biggest downside to this Rune Word is the -5 Drain Life. Then Colif looks at the weapon he gave Paladin, and it says No variety, Paladin is getting slaugtered in the arcane sanctuary, really don't like him in there. I just need to get out of chapter 2, everyone is in same zone now. Not in a rush to remeet the little guys with big knives Cannot be frozen is very helpful on Durial. Also need to give him back the 3 part set which will help on boss. Next in line is Barb, I am just on look out for a 3 socketed 1 handed sword for him. Regen is the key, even my Sorc struggles. She is probably most likely to succeed given she can actually hurt things, biggest problem on all is mana I find, everyone needs more all the time. I need to play her a while before I take on 2nd chapter boss to adjust to speed. My Assassin who spent 23 lvls running everywhere suddenly feels slow I miss the feature of TL2 where you can set what to show on ground, I wouldn't see whites ever again. I also found one of my mouse buttons acts as Alt key so I can see what is on ground without needing to touch one more kb button. It should reset at log off, but maybe people like to always run? it should maybe show somewhere? Thing is, shouldn't it be per character basis and not account? thats pretty dumb. It wasn't the mouse button I thought it was but the result is still same, I had mistakenly pressed it during a fight and not knowing it was a run button, thought it was a bug.
