I would never farm P8 TZ Baal on this character, because it's not the character for it. That being said, if I terrorize act 5, I'm killing Baal. And the point of everything I've said on the topic to this point was that this character can do it easily, though maybe it takes 15 seconds longer than other characters. WSK is pretty awesome for this character though, as a lot of the density ends up being skeletons, gloams, harpies, flayers, demons, etc where the whole screen gets popped in under a second.

When I play a character I don't want to have to bail from a game or zone because my character can't do it. I'm setting it up so that I can just play the game, and this character has been a very fun way of doing it.

If you’re popping an act2 shard, hitting tombs and then Ng, BB has the edge.

What demon did you use?

Still Lister. Single meaning - I did not not have to go somewhere to Engorge.

I prefer the hybrid build Tainted+bloodboil, it lets you actually kill bosses due to tainted doing around 30k fire dmg in end game gear and bloodboil is a synergy for tainted. You really don't want max bind demon it's a waste for this build u just do 1 point and get +skills for it to be lvl 20.

Where do you see a tainted doing 30k against a boss?

I'm curious if you've tried this or not (genuine questions, not accusing you of anything here). I think there is a known bug where the sheet damage of tainted is incorrect (similar to how the sheet damage reduction for blood oath is wrong) and the tainted actually end up doing a lot less than what it says in the skill description. (ballpark 5k instead of 35k or something like that)

To be clear, a max points bound mauler does 30k+ dps. Tainted's shoot fireballs so slowly, I don't buy that their damage is worth it at the expense of your own ability to clear density by not consuming it.
