took me an average of ZERO sojs sold to get a butt load of annihilus does that affect this scientific average any?? Just musing
^ Nope.
Until you have a better theory that you can support with evidence, STFU. All of the evidence gleaned by Dredd is going to come with disclaimers and the like. Only Blizzard can be 100% sure of how the dclone thing works.
If you don't have an alternative/better theory that you can support WITH OBSERVABLE EVIDENCE, stop derailing these informative threads with your nonsense.
Nobody cares how many annihilus you leeched. The fact that you got them without selling a SoJ is specifically allowed for in Dredd's theory - one that happens to fit the observable evidence.
Stop trolling.

The exact number of sojs that must be sold to spawn Super Diablo is random each time, the range seems to be somewhere between 70-150. With only 8 recorded sets of numbers under my belt, it would be difficult for me to narrow that range any further.
Every IP shares this random factor, but they would all fall within the same 70-150 range.
Great info Dredd! Next time your ready to run another series of test I think that I have some sojs left on some of my non-ladder mules that I would be willing to donate to the cause. Not sure how many, but anything will help I'm sure.
Anyways, great post and looking forward to your guide.

Minimum SOJ's
I have personally seen the counter # being sold at 1soj. Btw dredd, i loved the testing. It helped me accumulate enough charms to outfit the rest of my hc chars +1 (got 4 charms from the testing). Now that +1 is going to be put to use on my Wind Druid i am starting.

As people have mentioned in this thread (and elsewhere), the easiest way to kill the Dclone is Crushing Blow and Open Wounds (or Prevent Monster Heal). This is the fastest way, hands down. His resists are so high that no other method really cuts it. Sure, you can chip away at him for half an hour or so with magic-based attacks or regular physical damage, but the above method will kill him in less than 3 minutes if your AR is decent.
P.S. Great job, Dredd! I hope this silences all the naysayers and their conspiracy theories about Blizz controlling the Clone spawn and trying to trick people into selling their sojs. When you get the final guide together, please post a link.

Don't know about rebooting, but I was waiting for a game on a server. And everyone was booted off the server. Sounded like some guy purposely crashed the server. The seller was well pissed, but the counter was not reset luckily. Then it happened again, but still no counter reset.

i agree. My IK barb with 40% crushing blow maul didnt even give him a chance to use his heal thingy. I got 2 shaels in it so i attacked pretty fast and when i hit him with CB it took off like 1/6 of his health. I was amazed how quick i killed him.

I think some ppl shrug off the true potential of a good hammerdian. Every single one of my DC kills has been with my hammerdian, and he started killing DC at lvl 64. He is lvl 84 now doing 8K hammers and kills him in under a minute. I go through about 3 mana pots and 1-2 juvie(s).

Yaaawwwn.

G'morning, everybody. Corraborative screenshots taken during the testing are now available.
Linky linky.
Thanks to dop_obo for hosting them for me. I'd give ya a big hug dop, but you're like, a guy an' stuff. Can we settle for hoisting a few drinks instead? :buddies:

The more people that park on a server waiting for the world event, the more stressfull it is to the server, I think. Eventually, the server just has a seizure and boots everyone off. It doesn't reset the soj count though. If you've been parked on a hot server that's been advertised on mirc or d2forums for more than a couple hours, the odds are good that you're going to be booted. On the bright side...that leaves the server empty, so it's easy to get onto.

My lvl 90 Zealot and his 89 merc can spank DC in a minute or so without any pots at all, after all the hype DC has actually turned out to be easier to kill than a herd of hell cows. I havent made a "Hammerdin" , "Fire Sorc", or "Wind Druid" yet I guess I should join the crowd=)

A Zealot is one of the best possible Clone-killers out there; though just about any class can do it with sufficient gear (and by 'sufficient' I mean: Max resists and possibly a wee bit of absorb, a good amount of poison damage and decent damage output -- there is no need for a godly setup at all).
Yeah, DC is kind of a wimp -- 95% resist to everything and a boatload of hit points seemed scary on paper, but in practice he's not very tough at all. He dishes out a good amount of damage but his attacks are too slow.
On the other hand, I've seen him completely waste players sometimes. I'll never forget this one wind druid I help one time -- poor guy must have died half a dozen times in a minute -- apparantly he didn't trust that I wasn't going to just steal the charm and leave the game so he just kept running in there and dying. One time I actually saw him die to a single fire nova. Yikes!
The problem is usually lack of resists, lack of levels, or poor damage output.
