The most fun I've had killing Normal Baal in a while
Wildjinn (sp) & I just had an MP game, questing through the end of act 5. I was using my lvl 39 Cleric pali and he had a BF 'sin. the 'sin is a slow killer and mine is not much of a killer at all (although Pindle's garden falls in about 2 secs even at /players 8). we made it through the WSK at P8 up until Lister & co. at players 8 they were regenerating too fast for the small but consistant damage we were doing. we ending up restarting at players 2 and redoing the WSK, making to the same place and having a nice Minions of Destruction battle which was still challenging but at least winnable.
We fought normal Baal at /players 2 only, and it was still a long battle. Win did most of the damage with BF and his shadow, along with my rouge merc & her Kuko Shakoku (sp?). I hung back (read: was pinned against the back wall) alternating between healing holy bolts and FoH. we eventually chipped the big bug down to size and despite some NDEs it was the most fun battle I have had against Baal in Normal in a long time. It actually required some skill rather than just a few swings with a big hurty stick.
you've gotta love a game that can still throw a fun challenge at you even in Normal after playing for years.
