Baal, Lord of the Cheese?

[WarBlade]

Take, for example, a Baal run which my sorceress attempted to make recently; 900 life, 1000 mana, 75 all resists, and 60% damage absorb thanks to energy shield.

I entered the worldstone chamber, and teleported over to Baal. He had already duplicated himself, and he and his friend then proceeded to blast me with an orange attack each.

That is the bane of the melee sorc too. Baal's puke missile chops up mana supplies even before such things as Energy Shield are factored in and suddenly the auxiliary life orb is just gone in a hit or two (taking the ES with it). <_<

Only MASSIVE amounts of MDR can really limit the problem. :(
