Lol. Trust me to make things harder for myself. Thorns Pally versus Baal, I lose big time. But when I play brother's PN/BS Necro, Baal is a walkover. Been doing Baal runs today, and after 5 level ups and 10 kills, He's dropped:
Griswold's Edge
SkyStrike(and almost a Skystrike Clone in the same drop! A Long Battle Bow with +1 to Ama skills and some Lightning damage)
I decided to finish off my night's killing with a "Brothers run" after killing Baal for the last time tonight(nothing special dropped).
Mephisto:
Angelic Mantle(Completes enough of the set that my brother can now use the Angelic Ring on his MF WarCry Barb)
Diablo:
Hsaru's Iron Heel
Isenhart's Lightbrand
25000++ Gnarled Staff
All in all, a good night, and should help my brother replace all the money he lost rushing my Pala. :P
And leads me to conclude that Baal is only easy IF:
1) You have/are a tank with supreme slowing abilities.
2) You have a guided missile attack(GA/BS/Hydra/TS)
3) You're a tank who can do over-powering amounts of damage(Extra-skilled Vengeance with a good weapon for example)
4) Any combination of the above. :P
But damn, my brother's Summoner Druid is supremely screwed. It's next to IMPOSSIBLE to kill Baal on Summons alone(unless you have a Spirit of Barbs and your minions can actually live past one hit...)
