for frostmaw - if you can tank effectively, by which I mean stand away from your h/h setup with PS and SB on you....easy peasy me matey! :P

I might reasses the difficulty on Frostmaw's HM, given I've just successfully H/Hed it myself without PI (used Divert Hexes over Hex Eater Vortex).
Didn't tank with Prot Spirit or Spirit Bond either.

I would say Frostmaw is much more scary than it is difficult, until you know where all the popups are and how to deal with them.

I have no trouble doing the dungeons (except SOO, rragar's and slaver's) in HM with heroes and hench so far. Most dungeons are designed to either have mobs with spikey AOE damage with little corpses or generic 'balanced' mobs with plenty corpses. There are few exceptions which may require you to tank and spank to complete like the aforementioned three dungeons.

I found Arachni's Haunt (in NM, of course), to be rather easy, as well. I'm surprised no one mentioned that one.

Arachni's is easy? What's the key? The spiders refuse to be pulled and the oozes swarm the instant one notices you.

[spent an hour or so trying yesterday for the first time; never got past the (first?) collector on level 1's room. :/]

Maybe I just got lucky spawns? But I had no problems with it, beyond Arachni not wanting to spawn at the end.

(and the fact that I only got a diamond from the end chest, grrr)

Oola is easy as well.

I'll admit I'm not the best micromanager of heroes...so I generally tank wurms spawns and frostmaw at the end with PS and SB - first time round I forgot PI (HM) and still did it under 1:30 with balanced h/h setup so...not to bad

will have to try DH > HeV - might give my build more versatility by using amonk over my second mes hero

thanks for that tip
