FInally got my first DClone for more than a month. Hard battle, way harder than the previous ones (does it have random immunities?), had to Revive mer twice, give him tons of full rejuv... and all that for a 11/14/5 !
But still happy to have had a good fight.
No immunities. But a base 95% res against all elements along with 50 vs. phys and magic plus 50 block and a ton of life regen. So..it may well seem like an immunity. No prevent monster heal or constant open wounds or the like = takes forever.
It's the fourth time I kill him alone.
First was tough but I did not know well, second he seemed immune to magic but poison worked ok and third seemed much easier. This time my Bone Spear did nothing and my Poison Nova neither, had to fully rely on merc + revived urdars. Well, worked in the end, that's the most important
Thanks for the info Schnorki !

Damn, missed another walk. Had three computers running when I went to bed on the Asia server and when I woke up of course all three were bumped out of their games.
Anyone know why that happens so often? Is it something deliberate or just the influx of players at the time leads to latent games getting kicked or timed out? It's tough for west coasters because the walks, both NA and Asia, seen to happen in the hours when the east coast is up and the west coast is not.
I got disconnected 2 nights ago when I left it idling on Asia, but managed to get lucky last night with both my accounts. 14/20/8 and 10/20/6. Camped for a good 3 days, so glad to finally be packing up the tent!
On my side, I leave the screen opened with the chat window command and something typed (but not entered) in it (usually "/uberdiablo"). Worked several times, even if I also got disconnected once two nights ago, fortunately with no consequence. Also had my wife shutting my PC yesterday saying "it was blowing hard" but that does not count as a Disconnect.

I usually have Move Mouse moving the cursor around periodically (and keeps the toon moving until he hits a wall... wish there was a way to move him in a circle easily) but it often doesn't prevent my getting kicked out after a couple hours. I think I'll try the chat window thing you did to see if it works better. In legacy you could easily stay in a game for days.

@schnorki would probably have killed it before anyway ! ^^
Hey, I was being nice on the asia one! (Mainly because I wasn't around for an hour after it popped ^^)
On the topic of game dropping:
That's pure dumb luck.
You don't need to keep chat open or move the mouse or any of that. You can just idle afk for theoretically forever. However, two main things will prevent that from working all the time.
1) Your own connection may suffer a hickup and cause you to disconnect.
2) Blizz doesn't limit themselves to only their announced maintenance. They also do the occasional rolling server restarts. That seems to not be for the entire region at a time but cycling through game servers. So if your game happens to be on one of those getting rebooted, you'll be kicked out as it goes down while other games that luckily ended up on a different game server that isn't going down will be fine. If your lobby for once isn't completely flooded with spam bots after getting booted (yeah right..), you can actually typically still see the realm going down warning from your game in your chat. That cycling seems to happen especially often on Asia for some reason, making AFKing there a fair bit less reliable than other regions. At least in my experience.

America is 2/6. It will be 6/6 on tuesday. How do I know? I will be not at home but at work on tuesday.
Lol I think NA popped overnight as it was 2/6 when I went to bed and is back at 1/6 now! Such a bad feeling...
You're thinking of NL? Not sure, but I think there may have been a troll/mistake. I noticed it was set to 1/6 earlier today but it was in fact still 2/6 when I checked it myself.
I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.
My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.
