My first experience with Gloams was with my zealot paladin, my first 1.10 ladder character. I had 75% resist, but they killed me pretty quickly if I got caught in a group of them. I eventually devised a strategy where I'd run near them and run away and hide behind something. They tend to do their dissapearing act, and appear near me, so I could zeal them. Later I found a Guardian Angel and a Stormlash Scourge. With 90% Lightning resist, they don't hurt enough to bother me - and Stormlash absorbs 7 lightning damage so that takes a bit of the bite off. Unfortunately I only do 3800 zeal damage, and that doesn't cut it for killing them in an 8 player game, so I end up being a tank for the blizzard sorcs and the hammerdins.
