experiences on the 3 bosses?

[Ankeli]

spoiler yatta yatta dont read etc. if you dont want to know.

If youve fought them, how did you fare? and with what char? my blizz sorc got run over by über duriel and i had to call friends to help. they let me keep the baals eye though \o/

teleing 43 times to nihla is not fun btw.

[Greex]

hey could you explain to me where to get these keys and what these eyes are? everyone gives me wrong info!!!

[Ankeli]

well ok, spoilers again ahead:





You collect the 3 keys from Countess (key of terror), Summoner (Key of Hate) and Nihlatak (Key of Destruction). they each have a 1/34 chance of dropping a key. when you got all 3, you go to a5 and put them to a cube. a red tp appears that leads to one of the following randomly:

Lillith - drops the horn of diablo
Über duriel - drops the eye of baal
Über Izual - drops the brain of mephisto

now when you've collected 9 keys and had godly luck on getting 3 different bosses and good help from friends so that you've actually killed them, you put the 3 items to a cube and cube it up in a5. What follows is something insane. I just saw it. Its tristram with über meph, über diablo, and über baal. they all summon all kinds of creatures, skeles, pit lords (that are immune to everything xcept physical damage) and wraiths etc.

They all regen faster than you can say 'i like chicken, i like liver, meow-mix, meow-mix, please deliver' and do big damage. I saw a 96 enigma mara hoto cta etc. pala die to 1 hit from baal and diablo together. my 90 ik barb with near 5k life was barely able to run around tristram being chased by the town full of monsters. what follows if you can kill them? i dont know. but you gotta see it, its totally insane down there :D

edit: on a side note, they are a ten times better way of getting rid of duped runes than a ruststorm :lol:
there was 4 of us, the 96 pala, my barb, friends light sorc and a summonmancer. we got mep singled out to a corner and whacked away... got him to near half health before the skellies were down and me and the pala started taking hits. we were forced to retreat. shortly after tha pala died.

[LuckyDwarf]

That's just... insane. Wish I could get on. :P

Sounds like fun ;)

[Valar-Wrath]

That Tristram thing sounds absolutely amazing.

I wonder what you get for beating all three.

Edit: Oh and about the immune to anything but physical attacks; What do they expect you to do, get 8 babas and WW the bastards to death?

[Tai.]

they expect you to use a smiter loaded up with big resists/def/blocking and cb and drop them...

or maybe that's just me making assumptions.

8 smiters maybe? :)

[NightShade]

Find religion. Quickly.

[Tai.]

you could do it with less than 8 people id assume, fanat smiter, hammerdin, summon necro, barb, windy and cold sorc gives you 6 characters, none too obscure and a group with static/oak/bo/conc/fanat/tanks/and massive cb.

cheers

p.s. this is based in theory atm, i need to do research into the different immunities of the big 3, and their spawns etc.

Well, Ankeli made it sound pretty tough with the whole two hit kill on the pally and all. Just seems like it would take MANY summons or God knows how many juvs.

Should be interesting though.

[senji]

you can solo it with a smiter
pmh + lifetap

i guess top notch smiter with tons of CB could do it... in 3 hours... with some luck =)

From what i saw statick doesn't work. And there is no stopping those damn summons. We tried using natures peace to stop memph and the rest from summoning but we can't as they actually did summon and not revive. What was a big kiler for us tho is memphs uber conviction and him summoning all of those damn elemental mages. They got annoying fast. Once we got a good team we kicked but tho :) btw dont ever attempt this with less then 3 people. THat will get u killed faster then standing in a lava pit. Make sure you have a couple good tanks and leave memphisto for last. THe charm tho i didn't actually see it drop but someone said they got it. 3 to skills 20 resist 20 skill attributes. Naturally i thought this to be lies -.- and shortly after he left the game.

[RoXoR]

sorry to tell u this but the torch info is correct, my bros and i got one, that 20/20 is perfect tho, im assuming, we got a +3 zon, 20stat, 19 resist one. And ya those bosses are pretty insane, i played it in SC tho so we could afford some deaths >.< Smiter was the best against bosses, as said with lifetap. We used 2 hammerdins w/ the smiter to help separate the brothers, we had meph 1st, which was definately the hardest one, he has conviction and from what i saw, did lightning and blizzard. Huge, huge dmg to my 3.1k life hammerdin, and i wore an anni, 45 res spirit, wizzy for resists. GL in HC, those things are beasts.

I cant but agree with the 'more than 3 part'... after the pala died, we were just racing through tristram with tons of skeles, lords and the 3 prime evils on our tails :lol:
Diablo actually got fun again :o

Good wind druid will be one of the best possible chars able to stand against The TRIADA - huge physical damage tornadoes and elemental absorbing shield.
:thumbsup:

[Tai.]

meh, all you need is a smiter to drop the bosses themselves and support chars to keep the way clear, windy, hammerdin, summon necro would work fine, plus a barb for tank/bo

seems every noob on pubs is going with a javazon with infinity so if you got one suck all of their high runes and godlys
