We started from WSK 2 waypoint yesterday. It took us 1 hour getting to the guardian in that "arcane sanctuary" area. For some interesting reason he suicided and didn't open red portal. He just died himself when we weren't even fighting him. So we remade game, rushed trough wsk 2,3 and this AS area and killed guardian. He wasn't that tough, but one of his attack did pretty high burst damage. Next area after him had portal to town, so it was like checkpoint for us. Next two levels were filled with very strong monsters (destroyers, flesh renders, soul collectors etc) + some superunique bosses. At the enterance of the throne of destruction there was superunique boss BEHEMOTH CONSTRUCT with minion pack of destroyers (cLOD 5. vawe). Was pretty cancer, hp pool was insane and their charge damage is gg. Also, it was impossible to separate them, they were bound to that boss guy. They were last monsters before baal waves. First wave was lightning damage, guy had alot of hp, but was managable. Second one was magic damage, annoying skeleton fag, tankier than the first one and with higher damage aswell (magic res is rare). Third wave was Azmodan, fire damage biased, nothing special. Fourth one was PHYS IMMUNE and JC&DV, that was top tier majesity. 20 minutes of berserking, 3 or even 4 pot bombs... just hilarious. Last one was the easiest, had low hp pool (compared to other ones) and managable damage. Baal himself was rough, but beatable. Managed to lure him away from bridge quite quickly and after that he never teleported that close to tentacles so it would cause problems. Spell-wise, he is using: meteor shower, blizzard, cold cone, mana drain beam, FoH, poison javelin, cold nova, some weird fire charge up skill (deals ridic damage, need to be aware of that, otherwise gg. good thing i did figure it out fast enough). Also he summons tentacles and evil icon or whatever. Probably I still forgot something. He was rough, but doable, had to juke alot and use potions non stop. He took 3 pot bombs (1 from each at the start and then void backed and brought one more when baal was around 1/3 hp). In total this thing took 3 hours. We started at 20:00, then 1 hour got wasted due to bug with guardian and by 00:00 we were done. In general, end of a5 area is ridiculous (wsk 2+), mobs have insane hp pools, gg damage and cancer skills: charges, teleports when struck etc. Imo reward for this much effort is kinda trash, it could give 2 skills atleast at this point, but whatever.
