What types of builds have you used to effectivly kill HM margonites. I have been playing NM for so long that I seem to have lost whatever little edge I had.

I play as a ranger/Monk with a BHA build using rebirth, but I am open to whatever other ranger builds work as long as their is some synergy with the other Heros/Henchmen.

I have all three campaign and the expansion so finding skills is not a problem; however, putting the skills together seems to have gotten the best of me as of late.

PLease help me by finding a combination of H/H that will combat Margs

-Thanks

Which aspect about them are you having the most troubles with? At most I would find myself annoyed with necromancers in the group because of Corrupt Enchantment and Faintheartedness, along with the occasional Well of Silence that the AI would dance in. But in groups without a necro I would trample over them with little effort.

[skill]deep freeze[/skill] + [skill]maelstrom[/skill] = dead margonites, these tools like hugging together.

I found that [skill]Sandstorm[/skill]+[skill]Dragon's Stomp[/skill]+[skill]Eruption[/skill] did the business, tends to be able to severely dent them. As they think about fleeing, Dragon's Stomp forces them to think again while they stand in my AoE a little longer. But Maelstrom is very nice, and great for shutting down their juicy mobs of casters.

I guess if you're not an Ele though, having a hero use skills will just be a nuisance.

If you're taking BHA, have you considered BHA + Epidemic, and another ranger with Barrage?
