Well, I started singleplayer recently just to see if I can beat the game from the beginning. After 2-3 chars failing miserably, I made a necromancer and did it. Then I discovered ATMA somewhere and an idea occured to me to make a blizz sorc (single element) and do some mephisto runs for items.
I had no idea then that I would beat the game with her today.
I never thought that I would be able to reach diablo or later, to kill ancients and baal, but it worked out in the end and I've got a new matriarch =)
Now, the strange thing is this:
When I tried to kill ancients for the third time (due to cold immune mod on 2 out of 3 of them), only Korlic appeared with immunity to cold damage. Madawc and Talic were easy, but I saw a problem with Korlic as he also had a Fire enchantment (also a fire immunity). He managed to hit me on two or three occasions with my health dropping below 50 (very scary), and my mercenary also suffered greatly for his health dropped to yellow after one hit.
But, when I tried to spam telekinesis on him, although it had damage 2-3, when he fought my merc, the merc could survive for 6-7 hits before dropping to red zone, and at that point I would teleport some distance and heal him, then resume the fight. Ultimately, Korlic was killed and about 15 minutes later I beat the game.
So it would seem as if the fire enchantment mod was canceled by telekinesis spam somehow. It would return to normal when the spam was paused though.
May be useful to someone
