Diablo 3
Boro_Bandito:
And yet now the wizard is going to have teleport and slow time! Duriel type enemies beware!
Catfish_Man:
Duriel was absurd. One of my early sorcs went through 20 *TOMES* of town portal fighting him. Enter->Portal up->Lightning Duriel->Get oneshotted->Rinse->Repeat. These days I'm a lot better at it (I don't play lightning sorcs anymore, I pump vitality instead of energy, post-expansion mercs can tank, and I know how to use static field now), but it's still harsh on Normal difficulty. Two meteorb sorcs on hell difficulty Duriel was easy though. Took about 30 seconds.
est:
To compound the difficulty, I am not sure that Duriel's freeze could be resisted, could it? As in, you could have high cold resist and yet he'd still freeze you because it was a boss special thing. I also remember reading about Hardcore players having to level up way more than normal before getting to Duriel because they couldn't just take a few deaths to get the jorb done.
Man, now I kind of want to try out a Hardcore character again. I played about with one way back when, but didn't really bother with it after a while. The concept seems a bit more appealing to me nowadays.
Alex C:
Yep, it's unavoidable. Duriel's really about the only npc in the game I ever considered grinding experience to beat. He doesn't have the highest stats in the game by a longshot, but he's really nasty relative to the level you're likely to face him at.
Orbert:
I read a guide once that said Duriel has Holy Freeze, same as the Paladin aura, except he has to actually touch you. "Cannot be Frozen" doesn't help, nor does Cold Resistance. "Half Freeze Duration" supposedly works, but that's not much help if he's hitting you every couple seconds.
