While we've got a HC thread here - how do you all manage Belial? Every difficulty except Normal he always kills me at least one. His fists hardly ever hit me, if at all. I can either corner squeeze or blow my damage mitigator against his breath. But when he fills the platform full of poison puddles, they tend to last over ten seconds and do insane damage. I had to eventually join a public game to kill him in Hell on a L57 Wizard with 245 poison resist and 34K hp and 63% or so DR. Those poison pools could drop me in five seconds flat through 15K of DSkin and the above stats. Kiting almost never works because he turns 90% of the platform into puddles, and I'm rarely anywhere near the safe 10% when he starts. No one else seems to find him the brick wall I do. Butcher's easy if you stay near the edges of panels so you can hop off if they light up, Azmodan is a joke at a distance, and Diablo's melee is so bad he'll back off to use his ranged attacks. Belial gets me every time though.
