Dolls vs Gloams, which is the worse herald spawn?

Special mention to Maw Friends who simply won't die. Still waiting on that fabled Defiler Herald pack.

Gloams for sure, they all volley at once on spawn

Heavily depends on what build you are on?

I literally just played in a TZ96 P8 game - where there were both dolls and gloams in the same area - and I was thinking the same thing - all though maybe in another context .... "Which one do I want to fight" ish - knowing that they would turn up as T5 with the default EXTRA FAST + the random mods on top of that.

I was on my javazon, down in one of the act5 caves - so the answer for me was pretty simple - the dolls would by far be the easiest with my ranged "auto hitter". The downside being no use of jabs and thus probably going to use the extra javelins carried in the cube.

I always enjoy hunting souls and gloams - they are the favorite monsters to chase and kill - regardless of what build I play on (because of their increased drop chances of certain items).

Dolls are just annoying in general but as T5 EXTRA fast ... they are ... extra annoying

Dolls aren't too bad as long as you have a tank with you that draws aggro away from you so you can kill them safely from a distance. Gloams die pretty quickly, so I don't find them too hard either as heralds. But a T5 Herald pack of extra fast/fana/cursed Blood Lords will just make me scream for my mom. They have tons of HP and will just mow everything down once they get frenzied up.

I have seen some nasty Wraith and Stygian Fury Heralds.

Basically, almost any tier 5 can be very dangerous if some ugly math comes together: Fanaticism, Cursed, extra fast, another unique with an aura around...

This.

Cursed Fanaticism/ Concentration Extra Strong Hell Temptresses can scare the hell out of you, depending on your build. It's cool if you are a Trapsin or Blizz Sorc, it's no fun if you are a Strafezon or WW Barb or Fanazealot.

I have one heroe that doesn't fear anything at all: My Summoner Druid. He just stuns the whole mob, and then watches 10 minutes of Netflix to get them killed with the finger taped to the Shock Wave button.

I had two doll heralds spawn on me last night and my hotel internet was stuttering. Terrifying. Somehow the Urdar kept them at bay while I was blindly smashing the full rejuvs.

Edit: not two at once, of course.

I think I've only died once to a Herald, and it was Temptresses. It's a slow motion car crash you somehow can't avoid.

Souls/Gloams are easy to handle.

Dolls on the other hand, I'll have to pay a little bit more attention so that they won't get too close and blow up in my face.

I'm really afraid of T5 Horror Archers. Others are OK.
Playing as Nova Sorc.
