Tried to kill Diablo, Not happening... he just insta kills merc with his stanky fire breath. He never focuses on golems. I have cleared chaos sanctuary twice, but impossible to kill diablo still yet.
Made leaf for extra fire golem skills, Getting to diablo, i cast clay golem and decrep and still no luck. Maybe with more levels maybe merc can muscle up some.

fire golem does FE damage when he dies, diablo has 33 fr in normal i think, it sounds super shitty and i couldnt imagine how long it would take, but you could recast fire golem on diablo..in classic, its pretty much the only way to start your summons in nightmare and hell without bone skills...and you could try to save up a lot of gold and slap some CB on your merc and just keep reviving him..

anyways GL and I hope you figure out a way to kill him :D

Merc is useless at this point, so use only Clay Golem and Decrepify for slowing Diablo, and if your Golem stays alive for some time, try to throw some Rancid Gas Potions or Oil Potion at him. Even with his Poison Res, even one Rancid bottle does 96 Poison Damage over 2 secs, and these potions can be stacked up to 25 in a hand. 25 X 96= 2.400 Poison Damage taken in a few secs. Use 10 such stacks for doing 24.000 P Damage.

My rules state I can only melee. Maybe I can put a skill point into psn dagger and try to get a hit in on him with a dagger of some sort. But I'm gonna just keep rerunning chaos to level a couple times, then pick up some Cruahing blow from something for my merc.or make a strength for him. My problem is that Diablo doesnt focus on the Golem both times ive tried. And maybe get a 2 socket helmet for merc and put fire and lite res in it so he can survive the stanky breathe.

i would guess that fire golem and iron maiden might be the best dps combo u have right now, but could be wrong.

Would be alot of summoning fire Golem and he takes my whole blue ball at a time. So this route seems unlikely to work when he would 1 shot every within seconds. I believe the clay Golem and decrep is the best route just need my merc to take and give damage

If I could just get him to focus on the Golem it would be fine. First 2 times it didn't happen tho

perhaps clay golem and iron maiden. have u tried iron maiden? it may work on diablo, even if it does take a shit load of recasting.

if you are trying to cast clay golem directly on diablo, that may be your issue. if golem is casted a little bit away, he runs up to diablo and his range should be less than merc's, meaning he's closer and will be the target.

clay + decript
blood + iron maiden
otherwise this fire golem method will take you 3,000 mana pots

Im thinking of trying some of these steps..

Make me or merc a malice to proc open wounds.
Make me a 3x tal rune wep
Make merc a strength wep for CB. (Already found 2 thuls in first 2 chaos runs)
Make a nadir helm for cloak of shadows charges (if above methods still dont work)

Once I find the trick I will rerun Diablo for:
Gravespine or umes (+2 necro with mana wands) 1: 917& 1:1236
Rattle cage (more CB for ancients and baal for merc) 1:476
Worm skull helmet for me 1:367
Undead crown for merc 1:317
Magefists or frostburns 1:309 & 1:225

And will be killing shenk and eldrich if possible each run to get higher levels and maybe be lucky to find something descent to use.
