[help] duriel @ 23 and [question]
[help] I am finding myself unable to kill Duriel with a cold sorc at level 23. This is a hardcore character so can't afford to be too risky and single player so have to do it by myself. I have invested heavily in ice blast and can single-shot almost any mob. But when it comes to Duriel my poor defiance merc (my level) is killed in a few seconds even with me frantically giving him pots and I am able to land 5 or 6 ice blast which seems to dent only like 20% of Duriel's health. I jump to town, revive merc, but getting back in is incredibly dangerous because Duriel is right at portal and sometimes targets me first. Can someone suggest tactics please?
[question] Is it going to be easier later on in nightmare and hell after I get all those wonderful cold synergies or is it going to be this painful all the way?
