Hi
I need some tactical suggestions for defeating Hell Baal.
I have a Pure Summoning Druid called Huckleberry. One of his goals has been to defeat Baal in Hell solo. Since he kills very slowly, I have to be able to block off a fairly large chunk of time for this endeavour, as just getting to Baal can be a tedious process. He has a Fire Rogue mercenary, and maxed Oak Sage, Poison Creeper, Dire Wolves and Grizzly, with the balance of points in Spirit Wolf.
This morning, I had such a time slot, so I went for it. WSK2 and WSK3 were relatively easy, in that there were no Physical Immunes this time. The Throne of Destruction was a difficult but not unsurmountable draw - Doom/Oblivion Knights, Burning Souls and Horadrim Ancients. (Although it was news to me that said Ancients could resurrect Oblivion Knights and Burning Souls <_< ).
Eventually, the Throne Room was cleared (Lister and company are tedious in the extreme, but doable).
But Baal was elusive. I could not manage to make the Grizzly and Rogue stay fixed on the 'real' Baal, and squandered potions madly trying to stay alive while moving enough to get Aliza and the Bear fixed on the right Baal. After a 45 minute fight, I was out of purples and completely out of time.
So....
Does anyone have any tactical suggestions for a re-match?
