FB's Weekly Top 5

[Dacar92]

I vote Baal. Not only is his hoarfrost (cold attack--bet you didn't know it actually had a name ) the most annoying attack in the game, but he never fails to piss me off aside of that with his lack of dying and horribly annoying mana-draining attack. Fighting (even while defeating) Baal a few times has made me actually quit D2 for awhile in absolute annoyance.

This is funny. "The game is annoying". "It pisses me off". That's what I say to myself. I sometimes pound on the desk. I sometimes go back to town for a breather and mow the lawn or something when I can't kill a boss. Wildjinn, your post actually made me laugh out-loud because your reaction to the game is exactly the same as mine.

I would believe that D2 is our favorite game. All of ours. But we all spit in it's face with annoyance and anger. I think that says something about the game. It is an incredible game with an emotional tie that binds us to it. We all get pissed off, but we still love it. :lol:

I love these stories and posts. Keep them coming! They make for great reading on my lunch hour!

By far the worst is Hell Ancients.

With either Big D or Baal you can tp out to replenish your pots, repair etc.

As far as bosses go those two are the worst, but I've always found Big D to be tougher. Mainly because he can block and his attacks are so devastating and hard to avoid.

P.S. I just noticed the posts about Ancient Kaa and I would agree if we are talking about a Melee character, but not a ranged one. Also, Kaa does not need to be defeated in order to beat the game.

Out of the available options, Baal. Simply because of his extremely annoying attacks, the Tentacles of Getting In The Way Of Your Ranged Weapons, the Cold Knock Back To Opposite Wall Thingie (yes, I did know it had a name, but it's more fun to not use it ), the Mana Draining Thing That Looked Far Cooler In 1.09, and the Harmless Fireball Nova. Oh, and he has half a million HP too...

Were it not for those factors Duriel would have gotten my vote. The others are just rather laughable really, especially compared to some of the other monsters in the areas around them - and none of them could hold a candle to the bugged Ancients.

 

[Indemaijinj]

I vote none of the above.

Ancient Kaa the Soulless is the leading cause of Hardcore death, period.

Hmm, let me guess. You are of the 1.09 crowd? Ancient Kaa without his MSLE is just not the same feeling.. ..the love has gone.

 

[Anidem]

Yea Baals' Knockback is a pain. I have to go with Baal here. About 1 out of evry 3 times I face him he just goes on one of those hyperactive modes where the clone comes out Immediatly and they Just Woln't Stop rapidfiring those cold attacks.

 

[xantir]

duriel is a big pain in the $#*, not HIM but to get there :-/ if that counts? I voted for the "nasty bug i wonder who is" anyway.. (who is he? :scratch:.)

EDIT: poor mephisto, the lord of hatred :lol:

 

[Starcrunch]

I would like to point out the Ancient Kaa the Souless has the best name...next weeks poll maybe...

Baal (for his mana drain)

 

[Bjorn]

Definitely Baal. I enjoy the fights against all the others, but fighting Baal is just really annoying - act bosses should put up a fight, not muck around irritating you with clones, decrepify curses and stupid knockback ice ray things.

 

[spiral55]

I vote Diablo. He's actually a pussycat for melee characters assuming they've got decent resistances, a little MDR, and a fair amount of life, but getting to him is the longest, hardest, most aggravating slog in the whole game for said melee characters.

 

[EmcEEmahEm]

Baal is freakin ridiculous.

You *have* to beat the Ancients to get the WSK. Diablo, if you feel like it, you can just waltz through everyone until you get to the CS. You don't have to fight them.

After you get there, the first 3 lvls of WSK aren't terrible, but you have to keep moving or Baal will fsck you up. Then, you have to beat every major type of monster in the game. You even get Lister and his minions, whose type doesn't appear anywhere else in the game, and is arguably the strongest monster class in the game. After all that, you have to beat Baal, who has a berjillion hitpoints, the annoying kb/freeze attack, tentacles, and can spawn clones of himself which have the same abilities.

Diablo is tough for melee chars, but Baal is tough for any char.
