On each act- what is the easier reechable Super unique? (to fight Diablo Clone without changing act)

Hi

When Diablo Clone spawn and you don't want to change act, what are the easiest reachable Super unique on each act?

From what I remeber....

Act 1 - Rakanishu ( Stony Field), Bone Ash (The Cathedral - use Inner Cloister waypoint)

Act 2 - Fire Eye ( Palace Cellar Level 3 - use the portal close to Arcane Sanctuary waypont )

Act 3 - Stormtree ( Lower Kurast - entrance), any from Travincal

Act 4 - any of the 3 from Chaos Sanctuary (but real Diablo will not spawn...)...

Act 5 - Eldritch the Rectifier ( Frigid Highlands), Shenk the Overseer ( Bloody Foothills, close to Frigid Highlands waypoint), Pindleskin ( Nihlathak's Temple)

Act 4: Maybe Izual or Hephaisto? Less crowded areas...

True.
My personal favorites:
A1 Bone Ash
A2 Fire Eye
A3 is the hardest... probably Stormtree indeed.
A4 would go Hephasto The Smith
A5 Eldritch, the most classic

Izual... there is no close Waypoint...
But Hephasto The Smith, YES. May be easier to reach than the Chaos ones (and the map is kinda friendly )

Didn't make it to Arcane Sanctuary yet:
Bone Ash.

At any point after that:
Fire Eye or Eldritch


No contest.

I'm surprise nobody mention Corpsefire yet. Den o Eveeel is my #1 choice. why?

If not already obvious: Right in bloodmoor. small map , harmless trash mobs. with a chance for even smaller dungeon map.

Act4 is likely the worse to drop DC. Chaos is bad since the real Big D don't drop. Izual is NG because annoying souls.

IMHO as some1 who is definitely not a D clone hunter or anything, if it spawns and I'm with a char that can kill him then sure, but I usually don't go out of my way for him or wait for him to spawn...

A1: Bishibosh (you just tele around wp in Cold Plains, he is usually close) -- big open space to wiggle around/lead him back to wp/bad mobs

A2: Dark Elder/ Beetleburst -- nice open spaces, Beetleburst can be annoying because of beetles but otherwise very spaced out maps

A3: Stormtree but I also wonder if a good caster can keep D2 clone on distance with stairs/lever to sewers 2 spawn and thus keep a safe distance, those maze-like platforms in sewers feels like they can help with positioning and benefit from bad-ish pathfinding

A4: /// (Hephasto I guess?)

A5: Thresh or Eldrich -- big open spaces, Eldrich is super fast/close to wp but Thresh can also be depending on wp spawn location

In Act 1 I prefer Bishbosh if I'm fresh out of nightmare, but I've done Corpsefire and Rakanishu. Once I reach act 2 I only use Fire Eye, and once I reach act 5 Eldritch, sometimes. I don't see any point to go to act 3 or 4 unless I happen to be there when Dclone spawns. I have on more than one occasion not payed attention to messaging while doing the Chaos Sanctury and ended up with DClone instead of his gene donor Diablo.

Surprised Shenk hasn't been mentioned more. To me, he's the easiest for A5 since you just take the Frigid WP and head south a bit. He's my favorite to farm for this reason.

I mentioned Shenk the Overseer on the first post (as the second option on Act 5 - I prefer Eldritch the Rectifier as he is closer to the waypoint, has less monster around him and "plain terrain" )

Fair enough. I haven't gone for Eldritch very often, so I totally forgot about him. I also prefer Rakanishu in A1 as he is generally not hard to find. This comes from many cow runs.

I used to rely on Eldrich but the spawn point is too risky since it takes a long time to load and possible enemies nearby who can kill you upon loading. I go for Rakaneshu's spot now but still need to take out possible nearby stragglers first.

Always Pindleskin for me.

Three teleports/charges gets you next to Diablo. As long as you don't dilly-dally, the undead army outside doesn't wake up until you're outside their detection range. so there's never any stray monsters to deal with.

Harrogath's town portal exit is quite near your stash so you can stow your Anni quickly - handy if you are camping with multiple accounts or the walks are happening minutes apart.

Bonus - you can check Anya for 3/20s on your way in.
