I did this because someone on a Diablo forum had said how disappointed she was with how easy the clone was, going toe-to-toe with it and only using 3 pots.
The clone has not appeared for me tonight. I am kicking myself that diablo walked the world a second time in the original game and I didn't bother to go look for him. Sometimes you just can't keep a good monster down.
I still think the clone was easy, as have been many monsters. Andariel, Thresh Socket, Shenk, went down in a few frames. Thresh was a particular joy, as many a time has he slain my sorceress (who tonight turned 99). Baal was no more difficult than in 1.09. Lister was a pain, but Lister is always a pain for my poor paladin. Lister would not have been as difficult except that the stupid paladin went down the hot portal rather than the cold. Waste of more good potions.
What most surprized me (and my paladin) was being killed by Pindleskin. Pindle was extra fast, cursed, and fire enchanted -- but that should not have been so bad. A line of Milton comes to mind. I am proud of Breakspear though. He went down there naked and rescued his own corpse.
