Duriel killed me twice.Originally posted by Kawazoe:i think pure necromancer and trapassin is impossible to fight duriel and diablo, unless is hybrid like fudgester's
Did you try using the Decrepify curse on him? It'll make him slower and take more damage. If he's hitting you too much you might want to get a better shield with higher and faster block rate rather than the usual hierophant trophy.Originally posted by fudgester:Duriel killed me twice.
The problem was that he's damn fast. Just as I manage to curse him with Iron Maiden, he killed my entire skeleton army in a single blow and my mercenary in two blows.
My golem didn't do so well either - he died pretty quickly. And I had to undergo the utter indignation of being chased by him around his chamber. Every time I try to summon another golem, he whacks me real hard.![]()
Yah...I wish Blizzard would just remove the Iron Maiden curse from those Abyss Knights. It makes it really difficult for melee characters to advance through the Chaos Santuary.Originally posted by dibilo:i once got a concentrate barb and a hammerdin.. both okay until i reach hell... all those iron maiden kill me instantly due to my barb's insane dmg.

P.S. By the way did you notice those ads for Diablo 2 items by the side of the page? I wonder whether it's coincidence or not...
Didn't think of using Decrepify. I was using Iron Maiden all the way - based on the idea that Duriel's attacks are powerful. So I was betting on letting him kill himself as he whacks my golem.Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Did you try using the Decrepify curse on him? It'll make him slower and take more damage.

if u play online going completing the first and second difficulty can be a breeze and done within half an hour to an hour eachOriginally posted by fudgester:Didn't think of using Decrepify.

I was using a shield with 50% chance to block.... but that didn't help much all thanks to his freezing aura.
Oh well. I'm in the middle of Act III right now. Based on past experience Mephisto ought to be a snap. I'm more concerned about facing Diablo - his pink lightning attack is extremely deadly.
Diablo is completely insane. Took me abit of effort for Curse/Summon Necro to take him down.Originally posted by fudgester:Didn't think of using Decrepify.

For Diablo you just need to somehow max out your lightning and fire resist and then you won't have to worry too much about his lightning and fire attacks. Anyway you are using necro and you shouldn't even get up close enough for him to use the lightning.Originally posted by fudgester:Didn't think of using Decrepify.

Skeletons are useless from Act III onwards. Skeleton mages are better - but I only use them as support fire.Originally posted by Kawazoe:today i wanted to start a summoning necro, den i read the skill tree, it seems even after u pump skelemage theres no increase in dmgtotally useless, i think the only good thing is the golems, skellies u pump is jus waste points.
