I'm in the act 2 and I'm getting my ass handed to me by the inquisitors in the church basement. I've tried spamming seals and using genies but nothing seems to work so is there anyway to make this part little less masochistic.

I play as an inquisitor, and I've noted that the AI is quite stupid. You can attack someone from afar, and his friends won't help him as long as you stay out of range. This means you can use a spell or bow to pull one enemy to you at a time. Running into a group of 6 or more enemies probably isn't the best way to stay alive.

Or in other words, try new tactics. :)

You'll have a hard time playing as Paladin in Act 3. You're best strategy when dealing with inquisitors and priests is to either have high physical and lightning protection or to summon genies and then lure your enemies to the genie. The first two levels in the church basement are full of priests and inquisitors but the third one only has undead, so it does get somewhat easier when you reach the third level of the basement. Generally, I think the priest class is best suited for the last act because when you get Dark mass and Pillar of salt you basically have an I WIN button which you can spam against mobs and bosses.
