Small dolls in durance lvl is a headache.
Which is the strong build to easily kill them?

Some important information about Bone Fetishes and Stygian Dolls;



It's wisest to kill Bone Fetish from a distance, or to simply let mercs and minions do the chore, since non-characters do not take damage from their explosive deaths. Bone Fetish have low hit points and resistances, so they die fairly quickly; so quickly that characters need to be careful not to take them out while simply trying to stun or chill them, before retreating. Their footspeed is scary, and they cannot be frozen on any difficulty level, and can't even be chilled in Hell.

Best builds to beat these:

- Javazon with lightning fury
- Sorceress with infinity scythe weapon switch
- If Melee, make sure to stack up HP as they take off 10% instantly and also stack fire resistance as well

Basically use ranged and go slow with melee. I'm not sure you have to stack fire res if they deal pure phys damage. The wiki you quoted also states that their dmg can be affected by Deadly strike...

The damage of the bone fetish/stygian doll is affected only by the number of players in game.

Hamdin with maxblock own em all
Even diff char with maxblock, its all about blocking the explosion

easyest way is to get an good caster.. you kill them easy before they are near.. example: light sorc/ java-bow ama etc

The best way to beat dolls or any other monster that deals a lot of damage (like souls with conviction) is to put them into the hit recovery by attacking them. So, playing offensive against them works well. HOWEVER, you need to be able to take a few hits without risking your life while playing offensive.

You can shield block their damage, claw block them and you can reduce their damage done to you by physical reduction (both % and iDR).

Their damage is based on a percentage of their health and the damage can actually crit you, which is why you sometimes get those huge explosions that deal too much damage.

If you can, sidestep them just as they are about to die, the explosion range isn't very big.
