Hello Diablo 2ers, it's Johnny here.
can any of yers assist with info for the slaying of Duriel ( low lvl stuff i know )?

I would advise you not to seek help in a Trading forum, and, to introduce yourself at the Single Player forum. Therein will you find the info you need.
As for Duriel, use some thawing pots on yourself and your merc before the fight, then, having your merc tank him, use whatever attack you have on him. Make sure you give your merc pots and run into the town portal whever your merc is almost dead and you're potionless.
