good grief, whats with the souls!?
 
i had almost half an hour wasted because every game i played in baal runs in hell was chock full of burning souls or black souls and holy fuck, whats with those things? you see almost your whole party go down to one of those things, what's their damage like 10000000000? unless you are immune or are one of those big on defence characters you get fucked, i think Blizzard needs to tone those things the fuck down, they are out of hand and its not just me, every game im in with different people you always see about 4 players at the same time get murdered a few times by those things every time they show up, they are way out of balance. im not saying water it down and make it too easy im saying, geeeeeeez, at least if you are going to make something kill everyone in one shot, dont make it be lighting that can hit me in mid teleport almost instantly make it a slow moving fireball or something so people have a fighting chance, AND they teleport, its like most stuff is easy and then there is this ONE monster that has EVERYTHING, one hit kills, the things they shoot are too fast to dodge AND it just teleports around!!!! i mean SERIOUSLY??? who thought that up?? some 10 year old kid of a programmer at Blizzard?
"here son, you make one" ok i want this one to kill everying, be too fast to kill and shoot stuff instantly and be perfect and invincible!!!! yay!"

geez Blizzard, knock that soul shit off and get lay off the methamphetamines!!!!

Solution. Resist all small charms. 4xLo'd sheild for stacked. T-gods and Highlord's Wrath are your friends too. Also, having two Wisp Projector rings along with that will basically suppress any lightning damage.

Vollstrecker 2004-09-14 09:51 PM

Tgods with 85% resist is sufficient.

Very. Orb sorc takes em out the best.

Pekson 2004-09-14 10:40 PM

Noone dies from souls in hc they arent that bad if you have 85light res or 75. My friend and i have done a lot of tests in hell mode wityh souls and found that with 85 light res souls take off 5-10 dmg off your life orb.

The monsters that i fear most are blood lords and when lister explodes and dolls.

yea the souls block ur teleport so it stops in the middle of them but with a hammerdin and maxed vigor i can dodge them Vary FUCKING easily but then again i have like 120 lite res in hell so...

koolio_kid2001 2004-09-15 06:25 PM

hammerdins own every fucking thing in the game tho....nuff said, if u have a good hammerdin slap on a tgods and souls are about as scary as a declawed kitten

Sovereign 2004-09-15 10:41 PM

Without reading anyone else's posts in this thread....

Use togods and absorb those whores.

Just throw rancid gas potions at them

Joka69 2004-09-16 05:03 AM

well that mite be but what he is saying that people trying to tele or run to baal dont want ot kill everything and as they near a group of souls they get fucked

robotbees 2004-09-19 01:26 AM

im gonna try to get tgod's then cause its ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as the fact that you have to practically change all your gear just because ONE fucking monster in the game is so overpowered if you dont change your setup you get oneshotted faster than counterstrike game full of hacking middleschoolers.

could you imagine if every monster in the game were stacked up the way the souls are? you would need like 3 x the intentory size just to carry all the shit you would need to keep switching around just to deal with eachone!!!

quick question, how does immune effect your resistance, if at all?

Why dont you just learn to adapt? I play hardcore or did at least I was poor and I had very few good builds and those were never a problem, actully I have never heard a complaint about them.
Fuck that, look at the little bone dolls that sometimes infest the place, those are worse if you ask me, cant always see them and they corpse explode, that and what ever else they do.

Sovereign 2004-09-19 12:33 PM

Yeah but the stupid suicide monekys are visible. The souls fade in and out. They move fast as fuck and deal a lot of dmg Y_Y

HandOfHeaven 2004-09-19 01:22 PM

What are you talking about, the Undead Stygian Dolls or the Berserk Hell Spawn? Because both completely suck. One is a bomb, another has corpse explosion. Fuckers. I have lost 5 characters in Hardcore to the Stygian Dolls.

Sovereign 2004-09-19 02:04 PM

Errr... Stygian Dolls. Berserk Hell spawns are less of a problem for me, as I just run and let them kill some other schmuck.
