So I started up a new world to enjoy 1.0.0 to it's fullest. So far every feature has impressed me, although I've been able to get on top of everything with no major challenge. One thing that continues to challenge me though is killing Endermen. I see them occasionally in the mornings (Endermen don't burn in the sun now, didn't you know?) and despite having an enchanted diamond sword and about 8 stacks of arrows, my arsenal is useless against the teleporting bastards. I can get a maximum of 3 diamond sword strikes in before the Enderman either teleports so far away that they despawn, or they teleport underground and I lose them.
It's the teleporting. Even in daylight when you strike them they completely flip out and start warping all over the place, sometimes into caves or in extremely distant places you can barely see. Therefore, I lose the Enderman and miss out on a chance for a pearl.
They become passive in the day.
They just teleport away if you come in the 64 block distance it will chase you from.
Basically:
It has 64 block sight
In the day it flees if you see it
In the night it chases
They can only be killed manually at night.

No strategy here. But maybe you can try enchanting your sword. (And I'm not entirely sure if there are enchantments that work against them...)
A suggestion I read on the forums, was bringing a bunch of wolves to the party. So if you are lucky enough to find some, give that a try.
Learn to read he already stated he has a enchanted Diamond sword.
So what is the best method of killing these guys?
Not in 1.0.0, I've chased them around the land in broad daylight!
