That is just sad. I don't remember the last time I died to hell/baal with my sorceress. And she has 600 life (52% maan absorb) with -55% resist all.
It is all about tatics. Simply hide behind a pillar so he doesn't have a line of sight so his attacks can't hit you. Cast anything you have that can hit him from there, such as blizzard, frozen orb, firewall, meteor, etc. You will be OK until he creates a clone or teleports. With a clone - take a trip to town. If he teleports, find another pillar that will protect you and repeat.
For a melee character, you should be set as long as you have a multiple attack skill and a little bit of life leech. Run right next to him and start pounding away. You will be able to attack at least 4-5 times before he hits you. His attack will bring you down, but you should get it all back in a couple hits. If he knocks you back with cold, don't forget an old D1 tactic: happy feet. Don't run straight into him so he can hit you with his cheese attack. Run at him in a zigzag pattern. Once you get next to him, you are good to go.
