No bother to you! G'wan ya good thing!!

Run!!!
Kill baal, man. I'm rootin for ya!

video of waves, again

can't wait to see this GL with your walktrough

video of second time facing baal:

I think you need open wounds
Also, have you considered putting fort on your merc for the waves (trying to keep him alive until baal?) You can always swap back to equiping fort for baal.
But I think if you had open wounds, and your merc had crushing blow (with some good life steal and CBF), then I think you'd be good to go.

As for the Diablo rule, originally you were supposed to lose all your gear, however, since I wasn't clear and you had already passed it, I changed it to what it is now. You got your grief and stuff back, just lost your shield due to it poofing from timer on ground. That's the name of the game for everyone now (exactly what you did)

Also.. remember WW is not the only tool you could use in this epic fight.. (against baal) Choose your items on switch carefully

yeah i thought about that open wounds uniq shield... unfortunately i dont have it atm.
thought about forty for merc already too, but wave 2 rapes him because he cant leech of any monster there....
so merc is allowed to have cbf? only i am not?
my diablo gear didnt poof, i left the game...
just found crown of thieves, maybe i will use it..

Correct, those restrictions are just on you (not merc).
And oh, I had changed that one specific rule because I misunderstood what you did and I wanted it to be even.

I'll change it back to how I wanted it, since you did follow it exactly how I intended.

Not sure if I'm still just really tired/exhausted, or plain dumb

Fixed baal rules and clarified diablo rules (both for hell)
As always if you are unable to comply with the new rules because you've already past that stage, don't worry about them, just try to adjust for future act(s)
