WARNING!!!!! If you can not beat hell Baal solo dont even bother trying this out you will be owned!
After 3 runs to tristrum a group of friends have figured it out a bit. Here is what characters, skills, auras worked well for us in fighting the 3 together.
Mephisto is by far the hardest to defeat. Fastest thing I ever seen, and possibly the strongest in power as well. He has a conviction aura, and respawning minions everywhere. Try to keep him at the bottom or middle of Tristrum. This is only to have a easier time getting in / out of the tp. You will want a full room of player to tackle this one. Come up with a game plan before entering, because 1 if not more will die within seconds of entering the tp. Diablo (if somewhat by the tp will prison you for an almost instant death from him and the minions. If you get baal he will do wave after wave, while Meph will show up out of no where and just 1 hit KO you then leave. I strongly suggest to tele, charge, vigor, ect when entering the tp. Anything that will cear you from the area in a hurry.
1. Use as much slow, freeze, and knockback as possible.
2. A cleric is very helpful for healing, and to counter the conviction aura
3. Bring a summoner Necro, for mass shielding with skeles, clay golems, and lifetap for the melee fighters
4. Bone wall Meph this will keep him still for about 30 seconds or so. Try to use decrep (not sure if it works, didnt see anyone use it to my knowledge)
5. Chain lightningor orb sorc works well to fend off the minions
6. Conversion Pally is the sweetest thing of all. (yep thats right I said it)
7. Redemtion is worthless, they just respawn
8. You can not tp within Tristrum
9. Have at least 1 Defience, 1 Prayer/insight merc, 1 Holy Freeze
10. When entering the portal go as a group and work as a group or you are all dead from the start
11. Drop gold on ground so you don't loose any on dying
12. If you are close to lvling, do so before entering tp
13. Carry alot of rejuvs
14. Keep the 3 of them seperated and kill them off 1 at a time
15. The portal is NEVER clear!!!! EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
16. You will die at least 1 time if not hundreds
17. Helpful auras are Defience, sanctuary, conviction, fanaticism, salvation, prayer, meditation
18. Bo before entering Tristrum
19. dont even bother if you have less then 50% resists
20. always have someone fighting while 1 heals, gets pots, ect or he will return to full life in seconds
Our stratagy was as followed:
A bowzon for multishot coverfire.
A cleric Pally for Salvation Aura with Prayer/insight Merc to keep the minions at bay and knock them back, while keeping your party healthy.
A bone Necro for Bonewall clay golem and curses.
A Summoner Necro for Corpse Explosion, mass meat shields, and clay golem.
A Trapsin for the Shadow Master, and Death Sentry(corpse explosion again).
A Frenzy Barb for tank and Bo
A Zealadin (Grief, fort, and lifetap on striking)
A Orb, Meteor, Bliz, Chain Lighting, with a good Enchant.
Try to knockback meph into a corner, bonewall him in. Use a sorc to attack him as well as minions and hirelings. Zeal and hopefully cast lifetap often, as well as frenzy. The cleric should stay in the back of this healing all melee fighters, minions, and hirelings. Everyone else attack Mephs minions.
Another helpful tip, is to have 1 person or more carry full rejuvs only and drop them in tristrum, another with full life pots, and another with mana. You will need 1 eventually...... if you live long enough.
Good luck all hope this helps you out a bit, give some feedback if you have any easier ways of doing this.
