I shouldn't have made a warlock but I did, and I used a merc, but he dies right away - which is stupid as I'm doing Kunark zones for my L&L quests. How do you kill something when your merc keeps dying and you're not able to use the scrolls in Vault of Eternal Sleep because you keep getting interrupted? I'm stuck because of this. And I am not about to roll a new character when I did half the access quests on this one.
Although the chat channels aren't particularly busy, if you need help don't be shy about asking. Folks are generally pretty friendly.
