Bullshit. You can always take the cheap way out with diablo by towning and tping constantly.

Can't use any fancy tricks with duriel due to the small space (other than to just level very high). Add on the freeze aura and he's easily the hardest for a character whose level is average at that point.

Diablo = Pain in the ass, but killable if you're patient enough

And lets be honest here: The only reason the ancients have 0 votes is because nobody actually solo's it.


No body solos their ancients in single player?
Please tell me why I'm the only 1 who doesnt know how to add other people in my single player adventures?

I don't understand, is that an imperitive sentence asking me to tell you, or a question (due to question mark?).

If you're asking the question "why I'm the only 1 who doesn't know how to add other....(blah blah)" I'm guessing sarcasm, and my answer should be obvious, you're just joking around.

If you want me to explain why you personally play solo, I can't answer.

I'm just going to guess that your (unclear) remark was sarcasm. And my reply is:

I never said it was impossible or that nobody solos it. I'm talking about closed battle net....rarely do people actually solo ancients. So I was making a comment that ancients solo is probably harder than duriel, even though I voted//commented about duriel.

You have a very weird way of talking. :huh:

duriel. diablo's firehose does nothing at melee range.

whereas duriel not only is deadly at melee range but has h-freeze to catch you lol.

both hard tho, and norm diablo is near impossible for some fringe pvm builds to get past without just using merc or taking an unreal amount of time.

hose in melee range in norm, honestly I think melee characters have better time with duriel sometimes. Barbs can face tank and want to be stuck in a corner so no knockback

i've always found that norm diablo can be handled with just saving some gems/runes and making a set of resistance gear just for the fight. but some builds dont have the damage. or like summoner nec u have to rebuild your army a shit load of times lol.

i think i've rip'd more times to duriel, but it would be close for sure.

If you can’t play solo, I can’t answer. Actually, I can. You’re a bitch and you can’t handle doing stuff by yourself and rely too much on people to carry your ass through the easy game.

And no. Ancients is a fucking joke. Nobody has a hard time except when they actually kill the fire enchanted person who has rip’d a few souls.

I’m talking from a single player hardcore players 8 perspective, so are most people that post here. So killing Duriel you are usually at least level 24-25 so at that point it’s not hard. Diablo is difficult because the lightning house can practically one hit you on players 8, regardless of how much resistance you have. Not possible to group for ancients but even on P8 they aren’t that bad, just a little time consuming.

even with maxed resists diablos firehose does insane dmg, my barb had maxed fire/light when i got to him at lvl 33 with Battle orders and still had to be careful with 650hp. It did about 500 dmg each time if i tanked the entire thing
