Well, I've been hooked on this game for awhile and want to complete it. I've sunk 131 hours into it so far and am a level 43 Paladin in Act III. In clearing out the royal cemetery of undead, at several points I have to break open a mausoleum door, only to be welcomed by four FEARS who attack me all at once and obliterate my characters. I'll tell you strait: I HATE the spectral enemies in this game the most, (ghosts, phantoms, spirits, fears, ect.) They are a real challenge for my paladin since he can't use the exile spell. Werewolves are a blessing compared to these guys. Fighting four FEARS at once is basically impossible for my characters. What's worst is that as soon as I break open that door, a projectile missile hits me and slows my characters, making them easy pickings for the FEARS. I'd like to open the door at a safe distance but my paladin can't even learn the shatter spell. Even freeing a genie, (which I prefer to reserve only for boss characters) can't take them and save my characters fast enough.

Sooooo.......does anyone have any helpful suggestions? This really isn't a big deal. I will get past it eventually. I just thought that some of you reading this might have some input on the situation. How does a paladin best deal with a situation like this? He sucks at magic, and the magic that he does know fails most of the time. Any strategic suggestions and/or advice?

By level 43 you should have 80-90 (max) resistances to elements and loads of HP so just stand still and spam vidergo seals until they are dead. Then you can raise your dead companions with that raise dead spell. I prefer playing solo because I find it tedious and expensive to take care of followers.
