A Level 35/40 Necro/Pala is RUSHING?! God man, you mean level 5 Poison Nova/Bone Spirit is SUPPOSED to have next to ZERO effect on Lister?(Took off maybe 5% of Lister's life per Bone Spirit, and these are doing 150 damage per hit)
And I do not consider a level 20+ dying to a Firewall in 3 hits to be a matter of "rushing is the problem" Firewall being a level 18 spell, it should NOT be killing level 20 characters in a matter of a few hits. I've actually had low vit characters collapse in ONE hit from firewalls. And even 50 vit characters at level 20 have trouble getting past the firewalls.
I feel that some of you are misconstruing what I am trying to say just because I mentioned "rushing" a character past Baal. The issue here is not so much the fact that Baal can kill a level 10- character in 2 hits. That is a given. But level FORTY? Not exactly 2 "hits" of course, else my Thorns Paladin would have dropped him by 6000 HP before dying. But 1 Ice Wedge alone doing close to 200 damage? What the?
