Your TZ Boss performance

Duriel: ca. 15-25 (of course highly dependent on getting the right tomb)

Diablo: ca. 12-15

You can do more Duriels than Diablos? I find it hard to believe.

It's definitely possible in single-player - teleporting to/through

Chaos Sanctuary, popping seals, killing spawned elites and waiting for Diablo to spawn takes a while, when (with proper tomb map) you could get to

Duriel in, maybe, half a minute or less?

The problem is that my "unoptimized" Cold Sorc (with full MF and no CSD gear) needs some time to clear the seals and seal bosses - at least if you do not want to risk beeing killed. With

Duriel,

Andariel and

Mephisto I can immediately snipe the boss.

When I got time and Diablo is TZ I will try again with my full cold damage gear.
I really want to keep my

Opalvein (5/8/3/2), but offers are now at 20

Jah and my flesh is getting weaker and weaker...

Sell! Prices of new items are insanely high due to novelty factor, ride the wave before market normalizes

Okay, I did not count single player, since I didnt play single player in last 20 years or so. So, in singleplayer you have same maps, right? And you know where

Duriel is, while in normal battle net game you dont know in which tomb he resides, so either you have to take

Arcane Sanctuary first (and then again, you dont know where Summoner is) to determine the tomb, or just guess and be lucky.

Now I have 96 lvl warlock, all skillers,

Apocalypse level 55... it is easy to do

Chaos Sanctuary in one minute, or minute and half if I like to kill more unhappy dudes who vainly try to protect the big guy. But that

Duriel... I think I am able to do like 5 or 7 during that half an hour.... thats why I could not understand it... but if its singleplayer, then yeah, it makes sense.

PS: Got ONE

Korlic Pain from

Duriel, one from

Andariel (thank you kindly, devilish damsel!) while something like 8 statues from Diablo... now I am saving worldstone shards for act 2 and I ll just brute force it one day...

I am not on SP, but as I have said: I have to be way more cautious with my Sorc in CS. Teleporting in a dense mob of

Oblivion Knight and/or

Megademon with Might and/or

Fanaticism aura is not a desirable spot for a

Glacial Spike/Blizzard Sorc

I don't play SP either, only online, but yeah - your maps stay the same all the time, unless you change difficulty (which resets them).

One thing that helps a liitle bit when farming

Duriel online, and don't want to run

Arcane Sanctuary, are the chests in fake tombs - if you get into a room with blue sparkling chest, you can immediately go to next tomb, because this one is fake. They tend be to pretty close to the entrance too, so if you're lucky with choosing your path go counter-clockwise (left) from the entrance tile and run into the chest, you can leave.

Also,

Ancient Kaa the Soulless spawn only in fake tombs, so if you see him - you can vacate the tomb too.

Same - I've geared my Blizz sorc a bit more towards survivability at the cost of MF specifically because of dying multiple times in CS. That's also one of the reasons why I'm saving my shards for when devs improve drop rates for new sunder charms, so it's at least worth the risk Or when I get to lvl 98 on my sorc (im like 3/4 done), so there's no exp to lose.

No

Herald killed me so far (and I've encountered few lvl 5 ones), but since everyone is so scared of higher level ones, depending on the monster type/auras they spawn with, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Dying at that stage means losing few hours worth of experience, which REALLY hurts - especially for a semi-casual player like me.
