I have a Single Player setup (P1 no TZ).
I'm playing HC so it needs to be reasonably safe.

Nec - nova.
Druid - fire or hurri.
Bowa kills bosses really slow. I think hybrid telebowa with CS on swap to kill Baal can do fine. Ofc java is still faster but not that much (on p1!).
Pal - Foh.

Nova sorc. Simple easy.

Isn't poison nova bad single target for Baal?
I think it's dumb that Hammer got nerfed and can't kill wave 2. Guess I'm sadly locked into FoH. Maybe can go Hammer and use Holy Bolt for wave 2?

I'm gonna make a list of the best builds so far:
Amazon: Java
Assassin: Mosaic
Barbarian: ?
Druid: Hurricane w/ Doom - maybe Fire
Necromancer: ?
Paladin: FoH
Sorceress: Nova

You should stay hammer. My offline hammerdin smashes wave 2.

Before the wave spawns make sure your hammers are already spinning, and that the maximum number of hammers are on the screen. Every skeleton should instantly RIP. Switch to redemption aura and suck up all the skeleton corpses (this prevents your merc from being affected by cold dmg and prevents him from needlessly targeting the skeletons repeatedly). Move your character close to Baal so he only curses you with decrepify and make sure your merc is far enough away from you so that he’s not decrepify’d. Turn on concentration aura and he should kill all the Hollow Ones(?) in less than 30 seconds.

When I’m going to do a full hour of terror zone baal I’ll switch my mercs weapon from ethereal infinity to an ebotd or ethereal reapers. I bet ethereal obedience would work really well too.

Good luck!

anyone got some sincere advice?
