If this thread is in the wrong place, feel free to move it.

Okay, I just had an idea on killing Baal with a particular monster you find in the Crystalline Passage. Now this is just a theory and I haven't tested this yet, so I could be wrong.

If you play as the Paladin and eventually get the Resurrect Uberskill, you can revive most creatures when they die. Well, there's this lovely gigantic creature somewhere in the Crystalline Passage that has the Tremor skill. :-8

I forget what it's called exactly but is it possible to revive a bunch of those critters, travel all the way to where Baal is, and watch them Tremor him to death?

Tremor does magic damage, it is reduced by boss magic resistance. Baal has 75% base magic resistance on all difficulties and on Destruction when his shield drops he will have more.

So in theory yes it is possible if you can keep the mountain giants alive (perhaps with rathma's chosen from SSU pally mace), but is probably not the easiest way to get the job done.

1) Tremor doesn't actually kill but takes a percentage of enemy's life instead;
2) Tremor deals magic damage, thus Baal on Destruction difficulty will be immune to Tremor spell most of the time;
3) If anything gets hit while having a blue rune under its head (Shardspawn on-death 'cursing') it gets destroyed in 1 hit (including super-stronk reanimates/minions);
4) Using minions against Destruction Baal is not a very good idea unless you have a very strong spell that does massive AoE damage (Voodoo Shot, Abyss etc);
5) Sure, some of resurrected minions can have a big hp pool, but not regular monsters;
6) Resurrected monsters have to be either buffed (Burning Veil, Bloodlust, Gift of the Wild) or have a barb stance (Enchanced Stance Radius), or made invulnerable (Rathma's Chosen). Otherwise they become dead meat quite fast;
