Obviously you really need to get rid of the clone by going back to town and wandering a little whenever he appears.  The clone would make things almost impossible.  Crushing blow might help, but it's penalised on ranged attacks, and not the easiest to get for rogue mercs.

I've found that any % slow below 50% on Baal is pretty useless, and there is a bug which causes Baal to basically cease fighting when hit with
50%+ slowing.  A rogue could also equip Blackhorns to reach a high enough % slow, but that is cheesing it to the extreme.

I had not realized that the clone would disappear from the room if I did. That would be certainly worth a try, next time.

I do dislike the gear dependency notion of using specialized gear for one quest of the whole game. Aliza has managed incredibly well with a Lore circlet, Spirit Shroud armour and an unsocketed Goldstrike Arch for everything else the game has thrown at me. Despite the slowness of his killing speed, this has been a surprisingly viable character, despite the oddities I have forced on him, like his Blue Fashion statements (Huckleberry Hound, eh?) and his stubborn lack of attribute point placement. I did want to have the ability to say that he was capable of soloing all the game. I have already had to compromise on gear for him, although he remains mostly Blue. (His hat is no longer blue.) So, I may well have to accept the cheese for that last quest. <_<

Thanks for the suggestions. :) I will give them a try the next time I can allocate a lengthy enough time slot for the quest.
