Baal, Lord of the Cheese?

[Mavfin]

I have a different sort of thing about Baal: He's like all the Act bosses. He's a pain for some, easy for others.

For a barb, get Leap Attack and some resistance, and a shield. Whack, whack, if you get pushed back, jump back in and pound on him. Cold damage helps. Keep purple potions. Whack whack. Bring a rogue along. If you keep his attention, she'll pincushion him the whole time.

For a MA assassin: If you have Phoenix Strike, charge, drop meteor on his head, rinse, repeat. Throw in a charge, charge, charge, Orb occasionally. If you get pushed back, Use Dragon Flight to get back to him. Use cold damage. Let your shadow master draw fire and distract.

Traps Assassin: Lay traps where they hit him. Don't get in his LOS. Rinse, repeat. Still the easiest Diablo kill, too.

Necro, arty or summone: Can you say Decrepify? I thought you could. Lay out lots of cheap iron items if using Iron Golem.

Weredruid: Can you say tank? I thought you could.

Paladin: see barb, except you'll have a little more trouble with being pushed back.

Amazon: Spear/Jav: Like other melee chars. Stay with what brought you here. Bring a rogue along.
Bow: Guided arrow if you have it, happy feet if you don't. Keep a Valk on top of him. Recast if she's blinded by her glow.

Sorcie: Depends on the build. Baal can be a major pain in the ass in some cases. A hydra sorcie plays just like a trap assassin. A Blizz or Orb Sorcie is easy, too. Blue Baal. Inferno is fun as hell on Normal Baal. Fried demon. Level 25 CB + Mastery is cool, too. Sorcie has so many weapons, depending on the build.

You just have to do what has to be done to kill him. Much like Diablo. I had to go back to town 5 times and clean out the throwing knives in the stores to kill Diablo with my Iron Golem/ other summon Necro.

That's part of the fun of playing the game.
