omg, problem with normal baal
I've been playing SP, /players 8, including bosses. I might have to reduce the players for Baal, though, unless I get some good advice. I'd prefer to keep my pride! I never really played D2 much until now, and I forgot what Baal was all about.
Milwaukee is at lvl 45, with:
poison nova 12, working towards maxing it
poison explosion 1
poison dagger 2
Raise skelly 20
skel mastery 1
clay golem 1
golem mastery 1
1 pt in various curses
My army killed The Ancients on /players 8 while I watched, bored of casting curses. Baal's minions required me to raise my minions a couple times, but was otherwise OK. No biggie.
Baal evaporates my army and slaughters my merc in seconds. I was able to make some pathetic headway by casting Lower Resist and poisoning Baal. And again. And again. Hiding behind obstacles to avoid getting blasted, casting LR and nova-ing. Baal's health is down a hair! (or is it my imagination?)
In theory, I could kill Baal this way. Just me, and Gumby (for 0.25 seconds at a time). But no thanks.
Edit: And those damn tentacle thingies. Damn them.
Edit: I have no revives, because I'm going for a psn/skellie sort of idea, but could they tank while I sloooooowly poison Baal? I'd have to shop a wand.
