Uber Diablo ?

I need some information from all of you capable posters out there. I am currently working on a detailed guide about The Diablo Clone that will include everything I can think of about him.

This will eventually be posted here and on another forum I post to.

I am asking you all for the following :

1. Where and what specific monster have you spawned him as ?
( just the area and name of the unique/super unique please)

2. In your opinion or experience, what character class/build type has has the easiest/hardest time fighting him.

3. Since it is possible to get Soj's sold messages on any difficulty level, has anyone seen DC in Normal or Nightmare ?

4. In your opinion, where are the easiest and hardest places to have him spawn in ?

5. Feel free to add any comments

Thanks to all!
 
1. Bishbosh (Stony Field), Corpsefire (Den of Evil)

2. Easy = Hammerdin, Difficult = Bowazon

3. I haven't.

4. Stony Field is easy, nice open fields.... read somewhere that someone spawned him amidst some frenzytaurs, that must have been rather painful.

1) Biboshi. First boss in highlands (name escapes me)

2) easiet - wind druid/hardest - strafer

3) SOJ message appears in all difficulties. He will only walk in hell difficulty

4) Alot of difficult places. Off the top of my head having him spawn as fangskin could make it tough.

5) A couple of links that could help:

Wasn't Dredd going to do some kind of faq or guide about this?
Click to expand...

I was not aware that Dredd was. A_S_G did one already, and I thought of doing one before he posted his. After talking ti him about it, I decided to incorporate his guide into mine, giving him credit where it was due.

I had already ( about 2 or 3 weeks ago) brought up the idea of having an in depth guide stickied in the Newcommer Forum to Fercil, he thought it would be a good idea.

My idea was to try to put everything concerning the world event, SOJ Messages, The Diablo Clone, and anything else useful all into one place, to make it easier on those asking and those answering all of the questions that still pop up.

If Dredd or anyone else is doing something like this, let me know here or via PM, so I dont waste my time doing something already being done by another.
 
I've been DClone hunting for the past 5 days .. got him 5 times (one on each day) and it seems that it's getting harder to spawn him since people are either running out of SOJs or just plain hoarding them. I wish I had gotten in on this much much earlier but if you want to go clone hunting, better make it soon before everything dries up. Typically only 2 servers pop per night now on USWest (last night was an exception with 3) .. anyway, we'll see how tonight goes.

If you can afford a stormlash and the necessary resistance equipment as well as dracul's, i would say that a zealot simply wrecks dclone. I have one built on ladder with such a setup and even in 8 player game dclone rarely takes more than 2 minutes to kill.
 
1. Where and what specific monster have you spawned him as ?
Stony Field - Rakanishu /// Tristram - High Council

2. In your opinion or experience, what character class/build type has has the easiest/hardest time fighting him.
Fought him twice, with my level 88 IK barb. Killed him easily.

3. Since it is possible to get Soj's sold messages on any difficulty level, has anyone seen DC in Normal or Nightmare ?
Not Me

4. In your opinion, where are the easiest and hardest places to have him spawn in ?
Easiest - Stony Field /// Hardest - Tristram
 
1. Eldritch
2. Easiest: Lvl 91 Zealot (1 min or less) Hardest: Lvl 99 Bowazon (failed)
3. Never seen DC on Nightmare
4. Easiest:Stoney Hardest: Chaos
5: I have seen DC spawn over 15 times with no soj count at all some games over 6 hours old. I have Soloed DC over 20 times and never sold a soj.
I have been in a total of maybe 60 games where DC spawned.
Have found 2x perfect Annihilus (all data on Non Ladder)

1x Rakaneshu (or however you spell the stoney field guy)
1x Bishibob
2x Council Members
~5x Eldritch
2x Bone Ash (the guy near Outer Cloister (or inner.. its the one near cata))

Hammerdin, I've only used it.. I can solo DClone in an 8 man game (spawing at bone ash, noone checks him) as long as I wear Natures Peace.

You can get SoJ messages in any difficulty, but DClone can only spawn in Hell.

Easiest anywhere in act 1. Its easy since noone else in that area poses any difficulty.
Bone Ash is the easiest. He is near a WP, and he also is fairly hidden from BNetters who want to spawn him in the small amount of superuniques they know of (They try stoney and eldritch)

Natures Peace is a good idea. Yes my Hammerdin can kill him without it (hes a level 98, fully decked out LADDER Paladin #41 on ladder) but Natures Peace makes it faster.

DClone can spawn in any superunique that DOES NOT HAVE HIS OWN IMAGE. This means the only superuniques that CANNOT spawn DClone are:
Countess
All Act Bosses (Andy,Duriel,Meph,Diablo,Baal)
Lister
I probably left some one out, but if there are not normal monsters with the same image he cant spawn there.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me and I will attempt to answer any.
 
1)-Corpsfire (Den of Evil)
-Rakanishu (sp?)* (stony field)
-Eldrich (frigid highlands)

2) Easiest character to beat him with is definetly a Hammerdin. Hardest is a LagMancer necro aka summoner. :innocent::lol:

3) I never saw him spawn in Norm or NM but I allways see the messages of xxxx SoJ's sold.

4) I think that the hardest place to spawn him is in act5 at Eldrich because blizzard has fixed the glitch that if you bring DC close to Shrenk and you kill Shrenk DC also dies, and you have to kill all the monsters around the waypoint.

5) I think that he's easily killed with any character as long as you have resistances and some decent dmg. :drool:
 
IMO there is abuild that could beat the hammerdin in speed.. as i have downed him alone in a 4 player game.
First you need static field
Secondly you need a good FCR spell, fireball
Thirdly you need a timered spell.. orb or meteor in that cast
4th but not the least, get a LOWER RESIST CHARGED staff
Believe me he will never go down faster than that :)
 
Since when does the prevent monster heal mod work with spells? I thought it was only applied with melee/ranged physical damage.
 
I hear that weapons with prevent monster heal are very useful against DClone. Do you have to hit him only once to stop any healing or what? in which case wouldn't it be good to always horde a weapon for this?

I think it stops after a few seconds.. thats why i put a Husaeldal Evo or whatever the polearm name it is on him.. hits hard and prevent monster heal rocked him :)
 
I have soloed him quite a few times with an avenger pally, I found that a blackhorns face is nice for light absorb and prevent monster heal.
