I'm new to Diablo. I just reached level 8 and found that it is very
difficult to kill the "illusion weavers", the golden stealth killers.
Would anyone help me on this?

Thanks very much!

Best Regards,
Michael SIT

These guys can be tough.  They have a very high armor class, so you
are going to need to boost your TH some how.  My bard is using a Gold
Sword and a Gold Ring and doesn't have any problems hitting them.  One
temptation you should avoid is chasing them, as they will likely lead
you right into the middle of a bunch of them, and then you are in real
trouble.  When it starts to run away, I just stand my ground and wait
for it to come back.  It seems to be much easier to kill them when
they come back.  When I know they are on a level, I will often open a
door and just start swinging.  You can hit and kill them before they
even appear.  Once you know they are in  a room, you can dump a Fire
Wall on the other side of the wall but they are resistant to fire so
that will only help a little bit.  Lightning works on them very well.
Guardian can also be used to alert you to their prescense as it will
fire on them as they move to attack you.  But, I think it just takes a
lot of patience.

If your a warrior or magician, then the best way to kill them is to stand
your ground and attack them as they appear before you, then wait until they
come back again, of course if your carrying a nova/chain lightning scroll
(which I try to always do) you can wait for them to surround you, then kill
them all.

If your a rogue, then you can stand still, hold down shift, and fire all
around, because a rogue can hit them more than once (so can anyone with a
long ranged weapon), they should only take about 2-5 hits depending on your
character/level/p+/etc.

Don't charge into their space, stand by the door and
shoot/slash/what-have-you. Filling the area with walls of fire works
wonders as well. Those creatures *are* dangerous when you're not expecting
them.

Simple, just stand where you are and keep swinging.   The illusion weavers
will reappear and walk straight into your waiting blade.
