Jerk Patrols won't stop?

[JumbaWumba]

I'm facing 6 jerk patrols, and even if I try to be crafty and weaken multiple to knock out more than one, they keep summoning an endless flood.

What gives with this battle mechanic? Every turn they call for help? AT most I've gotten them down to 2, but they quickly call in more.

I think there's a fixed number of enemies in each Jerk Patrol - you just have to keep killing them until you've got them all

I eventually got it, weakening them all, but even after I was hitting the last one he was calling more. That is a messed up mechanic, didn't even get more gp for how many I killed.

You're definitely supposed to get more rewards with additional Jerk spawns.

Jerks can be pretty obnoxious if they outrank you by too much or if you get the full pack at start, but in Act I Valentin and Grace can usually get rid of them fairly quickly with Attack/Destruction.

since jerk patrol are non elemental(currently in act 2) ill put destruction and attack for everyone and it clears them out pretty fast
