False Tombs

[lfd]

Wasn't quite so lucky in the real one. Died 5 times to Duriel before I put points into Iron Maiden and made him suicide on my wall. :( And all he dropped me was a lousy little rare ring and a TP. Oh well, at least the ring had some regen, so it didn't suck that much.

I was playing in a 7- (maybe 8-) player hc game last night, and 3 of us died to Duriel. He really has been beefed up, especially in ladder games.

I've lost count of the number of ways the Duriel fight is cheesy; you're in a small room, his attacks ignore your defense and/or are unblockable, they knock you back and stun you, and you're chilled so you can't fight back before you get hit again. He's at least highly cold resistant making it difficult to chill him back. And as if that weren't enough, in 1.10 his unblockable holy freeze now does you flash damage as well as adding more cold to his attacks. Oh, and he's got better defense. And blocking.

Just what exactly were they thinking of, here?

He dropped three crappy rares for us when we finally offed him last night.
