killing hell baal the quickest on a brand new ladder on 8 pp bases

i think there will be so many experts here. so i raise this question up for help. so we have a private new ladder starting soon. we sort of orgnised different teams for a competition see which team can finish killing hell baal the quickest on a brand new ladder. (remember, this is on a totally new ladder). the competition set at the beginning of the opening night. It is quite tense. I am just wondering if you have any strategy of how to arrange character and procedures.

at the moment our team seems to think we need :

1. teleport sor

2. fire sor

3. cold sor

4. sum nec

5. pala for conviction

6. pala for meditation

7. tt ama

8. bobo barb

it is a massive plan. I don�t want to say our strategy fist, I like to hear your plan.|||Wrong forum. Moved. Dont double post. End Transmission.|||Well yeah, you've got all your bases covered. I can't see anything else you might need, but I can see how to do things a bit differently.

Personally I would go:

1. Tele/Lightning Sorc (Static, obviously)

2. Fire Sorc

3. Cold Sorc

4. Curse Necro (Mainly Amp Damage, Attract and Lower Resist)

5. Conviction Pally

6. Meditation Pally

7. Zeal Paladin or Fury/Feral Rage Druid

8. BoBo Barb

Curse Necro would use lower resist against anything that is immune to Fire and/or Cold and then would use Amplify Damage specifically on Baal. The Fury/Feral Rage Druid or Zeal Pally could easily focus fire stuff. I have a feeling that the Tele sorc wasn't doing much other than just getting the TP in the Throne of the Destruction and I find that having all three elements is EXTREMELY useful. Especially with sorcs, cause you get massive amounts of damage. You could even forgo the Amplify Damage and just stick to lower resist because it makes the sorcs much more effective.

Process:

1. Tele to Throne, drop TP (Light Sorc)

2. Other players rush in for clear

- a. Fire and Cold sorcs spam Orb/Firewall

- b. Necro covers everything with Lower Resist

- c. Melee focus fires anything with heavy health or Magic/Ele Resist

- d. Pallys can help the Melee, but make sure to keep the sorcs in their auras

- e. Barb hits BO right inside the TP as everyone arrives

3. Clear first wave

- a. Sorcs spam

- b. Necro with Lower Resist

4. Continue Process

5. Baal

- a. Static Field Sorc

- b. Curse Necro applies Lower Resist and keeps it applied

- c. Sorcs hit with hardest spells, probably Orb, Meteor/Fireball, Thunderstorm

- d. Melees pummel, Barb keeps BO on if it gets close to wearing off

I mean it's not like killing Baal is some super complicated endeavor. Of course I've never had a competition with teams to see who could keep him faster either.|||I guess you got it wrong, its not about 8p baalrunning, but starting from scratch and making it to the hell, killing baal and completing the game.

The baal himself can be killed with any group (there is necro after all) pretty easily and main factor there is level design (throne search time) and wave spawn delay.
