Lol. My Paladin relies on Smite and Thorns to do the damage(well, rather I smite bosses to SORT of interrupt attacks so I can drink potions! :P) and well, Baal seems to use like 5% melee attacks... O_o
My brother's Necro on the other hand, relies on Bone Spirit and Poison Nova, and even with fairly good resistances all around on both characters(75 fire and 75 lightning for me, and 75 fire/poison 59 cold and 68 lightning for my brother), we have trouble taking him down in a solo game, and only moderately less trouble with a 2 on 1. His Summoning Druid has it worse, since his summons disintegrate in a single hit(although I attribute this to my brother's incompetence of having 25 skill points lying around and being undecided as to where he wants them put)
I can't for the life of me imagine what to do when my assassin(poison bow, shadow master soon and some traps) gets around to facing him. Probably fire an arrow and then hide behind a corner. But GAWD I HATE THOSE APPENDAGES! I WANNA RIP THEM UP AND STUFF THEM DOWN THE THROAT OF THE PROGRAMMER WHO THOUGHT THEM UP!
MDR is kinda low on the list of affixes I have on armour. Mostly my armours are +resist and +X% chance to cast Y when hit.
And NAY to over-powered damage on timered spells. Seriously, does a level 18 Sorceress NEED to do 100++ points of damage per second to be "effective"? Especially since most Sorcs nowadays are, by the artificial "necessity" caused by the emergence of immunities, forced to invest in at least one other tree, and most would vote for Glacial Spike/Frozen Orb to freeze/chill monsters so that they stay longer in the flames anyway. I would have preferred them to let the firewalls last longer with higher skill(keeping the timer), and do less damage per second.
Edit: More stuff I forgot and remembered only AFTER hitting "Post"
Oh yes, and you consider a brand new 1700 AMD(actually 1800 but I don't need THAT much speed), with an Inno 3dD Tornado GeForce 4 MX graphics card and 256MB RAM SLOW? Even on THAT computer I can lag when Lister and company loads, which leads me to wonder, why not pre-load all the graphics when summoning Colenzo? I find it very unlikely that any reasonably well-equipped player can die against Colenzo due to lag, but then again... Or at least pre-load the graphics SOMEWHERE(like with Duriel), so that players wouldn't keep getting killed by the lag. Some days the lag on B.Net is sp bad that I move in 2 steps to trigger Lister, my computer freezes, and 1/2 a minute later, I find myself 3 screens away, dead(or at least severely dizzy)
