Immunities of monsters in the Throne of Destruction in Hell Difficulty?

[queenlatifah]

I'm in the process of creating an awesome guide in MFing Hell Baal specificly for hardcore but I need info on some monsters.
The monsters I'm talking about are the super unique monsters Colenzo, Achmel, Bartuc, Ventar, and Lister and the monsters that spawns with them.
What I need to know is all of the Elemental Immunities that spawn from all of these monsters in Hell difficulty. Thanks in advance.

All the bosses can spawn any immunities, the minions are basically immune to nothing I beleive except for the summoned skellies in the second wave which are CI and the mummy minions which are magin immune.

Colenzo I beleive is always Fire immune and FE

Achmel is Magic immune

Bartuc.......hum.....forget but he is simply a shadow of his former self sinc eMSLE isnt much of anything now.

Venta is Poison Immunes i beleive

Lister i beleive is just randomly immune

Light immune is probably the most rare to pop up and many have made CL sorcs for running Baal. Blizz kills all things besides skellies almost every run, and Fire can smoke most everything but some of the bosses and i am pretty sure Colenzo is always FI.

Been a while since i ran many Baal runs so this is from memory.

It's been a while since I've run Hell Baal, but I thought the minions shared the immunities as you mentioned Stinger of their boss. So...

Colenzo and his minions are always fire immune.

Achmel and his minions are always magic immune, while the skellies are cold immune.

Bartuc and his minions are always lightning immune.

Ventaur and his minions are always poison immune.

Lister and his minions (of destruction) are always fire immune.


Dual immunities are also quite common on each individual boss. The more common spawns I remember:

Colenzo - FI / LI (only when he's lightning enchanted?)
Achmel - MI / PI (all the time maybe?)
Bartuc - (can't remember any)
Ventaur - (same)
Lister - FI / CI and FI / LI mostly


With my Meteorb Sorc I'd use Orb on the first group, Meteor on the second (distance = avoid poison), Fireball on the third (stunned = can't cast Hydra), and Orb'Static again for the last two groups. That should give you some idea of their resistances.

Lets just act like i didnt post because Phats looks much more accurate......sorry been playing Classic for about 2 months lately and i only have a Blizz sorc so only thing that ever gave me trouble were Skellies and ocasionally a boss.

My enchanted javazon has never had a problem decimating them solo in multiplayer games. So lightning + fire or maybe even lightning + cold would seem to be a good combo.
