I never said I should be able to solo easily. What I said is that it should be physically possible for a reasonably equipped (never mind a char with 200 extra skill points) to enjoy the game on the ladder, even if he isn't playing with 6 people. It isn't.
Fire golems are not just tanks, a necro's minions are supposed to be a significant part of his killing power. They are not, and that is a problem.
"Players 8, when soloing, should be meant for people who do have these godly items and want to test their might against the greatest challenge the game can pose. "
If you want to play on the ladder, you aren't going to be playing in single player games. Thats not to say you won't play with people, but do you honestly think everyone will be able to play with a good group of players all the time? No matter how you cut it, the game, though it should be very challanging and difficult, should be PLAYABLE in 8 player mode, even in hell.
