Duriel
As the Sin War plodded along through the centuries, many in Hell began to
wonder just what it was they were fighting over. The Lesser Evils of Hell were
growing tired of the endless ebb and flow in the tides of mortal favor, as well
as those in the elaborate schemes of the three Prime Evils; Diablo, Baal and
Mephisto. The Lesser Evils longed to return to the epic days of the Great
Conflict, and lay siege again to the gates of the High Heavens.
Two of the Lesser Evils, Azmodan and Belial, saw the situation as their
chance to overthrow the Prime Evils and take control of Hell for themselves. The
two Demon lords made a pact with Andariel and Duriel - as well as their minor
brethren - assuring them that humanity would not deter the ultimate victory of
Hell. Azmodan and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate and achieve victory
in the Sin War, ultimately riding the bloody crest of the Great Conflict
straight into Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of
Hell went to war against the Three Brothers, seeking to send them into a Dark
Exile.
Over the next two centuries, the three imprisoned brothers focused their
Demonic powers upon corrupting the Soulstones that bound them to the mortal
plane and began bending the will of any nearby humans. Mephisto was the first
imprisoned and, consequently, was the first to break free from his bondage. His
wrath against those who had put him such a compromised position was swift and
merciless...
As punishment for his part in the Dark Exile that sent the Prime Evils to the
mortal realm, Duriel has been left behind by Baal to guard the Tomb of Tal
Rasha. Embittered by this new position of solitary servitude, the Lord of Pain
has claimed the souls and blood of many bold adventurers.
Tips and Other Additional Information
Duriel's Special attacks are
Holy Freeze Like Aura, Jab, Smite, Charge.
Duriel uses Holy Freeze like Aura. This isn't actually a Cold Aura like the
Paladins so "Can't Be Frozen" or cold damage resistances cannot help against
this.
Open up a Town Portal inside Duriel's lair or just outside so that you can
get back inside if you die.
Sorceress: Use Static Field to bring Duriel's Hit Points down then finish him
off with another spell. Necromancers use Minions to focus Duriel's attention
then cast Iron Maiden or use Bone Spear, Bone Spirit or Teeth. Amazons's use
Valkyries if possible to draw Duriel's fire. All classes can bring a Hireling to
keep Duriel busy for a few seconds. You may wish to move to melee range which
will prevent Duriel from using his Charge Attack.
