Fulminating potions (clvl 1 req) are only 5-15 damage and thus will not put a cow into hit recovery and probably isn't, therefore, practical to chain cast to overcome the cow regen.
Clearly, if you were very patient and could keep away from the cows, a clvl 6 barb could conveniently have a fulminating in one hand and strangling in the other, keeping the cow poisoned to stop regen and casting fire pots for damage (it would probably take a full stack of fulminating potions to kill a cow). Alternately, using just Strangling gas potions it would take quite some time at 6 poison damage/second (4 seconds per pot, iirc) to kill a cow with 159-342 life (from d2data normal, players 1).
Still this doesn't seem to be any more "patient" than some of MongoJerry's sisyphean exploits. :blink:
