===AVOID TAKING FIRE===
When killing ranged attackers, such as witches and mages, a problem you run into often is that as you're killing monsters, too many others are hitting you while you're making a kill. For solutions to this problem, I'll divide this into Happy Feet Tactics and Smarter Target Acquisition.

Happy Feet Tactics - "Happy Feet," a term first coined by Woody, involves running in a specific way to avoid taking 95% of the shots fired at you. Used when advancing to and retreating from an enemy for warriors, it can help minimize the damage you're taking while you're not killing something. The idea is to run in a zig-zag line, crossing over perpendicular to your enemies. An illustration:

You may want to walk a few paces at the edges of the zig-zag (in above case, the horizontal lines) until the ranged attacks are all headed to that point before moving to the other zig-zag edge.

Smarter Target Acquisition - Often times, just being smarter about which enemies to kill first can save you a potion or two when facing a bunch of ranged attackers. Here's an example situation involving a group of witches:

Which point should the warrior teleport to (and Telekill one of the witches)? Answer: Location 2. Location 1 has only one Snow Witch to kill, so while he's killing the solitary witch all the others are firing at him. Location 3 would only put you next to 2 witches, as would Location 4. Teleporting to Location 2 will let you kill a witch and have three others flee (a smart warrior would kill the witch with the number 3 on it first). When a witch is fleeing, it's not firing!

One thing to note here is that witches don't always run from you right away. Sometimes, you can teleport to a position, kill a neighbor witch, and then pick off a witch who never moved from her position next to you. Be sure to take advantage of it when it occurs, as you're getting two kills per teleport.

The whole idea is to lessen the number of witches who shoot at you at any one time, and simultaneously herd them into corners for easier kills. Now, a warrior could also Teleport to Location 1, kill the witch, and then walk to the left to get himself against the wall and out of the line of fire of the witches to the left. Then he can Peekaboo kill one and commence Telekilling the rest.
