What I meant was that they'd have to survive at least one spell attack(cheese breath, cheese nova, cold wedge, appendage) and HOPEFULLY, Baal would switch to melee mode, hurting himself.
Certainly with melee characters(summoners included), Baal is an extreme PITA, because that ice wedge is EXTREMELY over-powered. Just a while ago, I was running my brother's Necromancer through again, and this time, I got 5 Ice Wedges in a row from Baal+clone! I mean, WTH? I got pushed from the centre(the path leading to the bridge to the WS) all the way into the bottom right corner. Now THAT is too much. To the best of my knowledge, no other knockback in the game even comes CLOSE to that. Not Smite, not Charge, not Bash, NOTHING. And Baal gets to fire those off non-stop... I eventually kicked his ass back into oblivion of course, but he got the last laugh. A "Realms Down" and a "Game Does Not Exist" later, he robbed me of a Twitchthroe, an Angelic Sickle, and a bunch of gems. :_(
