It all happened too fast for me to switch to either my Lightning Fury Javazon or Hammerdin, so when Dclone suddenly popped a few minutes ago, I had no choice but to give it a try with my Poison Nova Necro – notoriously bad at boss takedowns.
I'm pleasantly surprised to say that it only took a couple of minutes and I could even finish him off without my Act 2 Might (and Infinity) merc, with just my Iron Golem (Insight) for company.
Impressed!

Can be used to make Runewords:
Nice going!
DC has high poison resistance, so that regular poison from weapon and charms isn't very effective to counter his regen. But looks like with your dedicated poison build it worked just fine.

Lower res works wonders for that.Bisu wrote: 3 years agoNice going!

Given, he'll still keep a fair bit of res despite that..but it works pretty well.

* I trade both ladder and non-ladder, please check before asking.
* All my trades are for runes, keys (especially KoT and KoH) and essences!
I was trying not to panic because I was really not prepared for this fight with a pretty new build that I've not yet mastered and he's really not great at killing bosses.Schnorki wrote: 3 years agoLower res works wonders for that.Bisu wrote: 3 years agoNice going!

I initially used Decrepify on him to try and slow him down but he still ripped through my merc when I had DC down to about 50% life.
With the merc down, I just jumped around him with TP but stayed close and kept pumping the Poison Nova with Lower Resist until that was that.
Pretty exciting stuff!
Gear is decent, but I was still surprised at the result:basicnecromancy wrote: 3 years agoWhat's your gear?Zoox wrote: 3 years agoIt all happened too fast for me to switch to either my Lightning Fury Javazon or Hammerdin, so when Dclone suddenly popped a few minutes ago, I had no choice but to give it a try with my Poison Nova Necro – notoriously bad at boss takedowns.

- Mara's + SoJ + BK
- (Switch is CTA and Spirit)
Your gear is actually complete but again, it's really hard to take down DClone with. Well done!

GG Zoox! I believe it's not an easy fight... My Bone/Poison hybrid necro always needs Urdars revives to make it happen as well (just did it that way for a 20 minutes fight requiring to get back corpses in the middle, while my Pallyfriend just does it in a minute) . 
Can do trades on D2R or D2RotW
Main: Necromancer / Second: Assassin / Third: Amazon / Check my stash tabs
I'll give you the CB but PMH doesn't work on your merc (or an Iron Golem). Either get PMH yourself or OW/poison dmg on your merc.
Then again, doesn't really matter in this particular case since the Poison Nova itself will already stop his regen.
The aura itself is a nice addition though. Even with Conviction not helping your poison damage, it does have a typically significant impact on your merc's hit chance due to the -def, in turn causing him to apply his CB more often.
Nice going. The first time I came across him I was with my Meteorb Sorceress and I got him down to 1/4 health but I couldn't lower it further because his heal was too big. Then I also saw that he has 95% to elements but only 50% to magic.
So the next time he spawns, I am gonna Hammerdin the crap out of him. I won't need a merc either, maybe some portals to pop back into town for mana and that's it. I figure if I managed to whittle him down so much with 95% resistance, Blessed Hammers should make short work of him.
I just have to pray he won't walk while I am in bed
