 Ranged attackers get steamrolled by the Big Three. Meph and Baal in particular leap aggressively down the throats of solo players, and the friendly minion able to stand in their way hasn’t yet been born. Even if she could stay on her feet longer than a few seconds, the solo ranged warrior cannot bring to bear any attack that stacks up against the huge hit points sported by each of the Three.

 That leaves melee, although that smackey-face style of fighting is almost as lopsided in favor of the Three. Chopping through their minions is a chore for Sisyphus because new ones spawn faster than the old ones are dispatched. While the melee player is hacking them down, the Big Boys lop huge chunks out of the most intrepid fighter’s life ball. Without high priced trinkets, few melee characters live long enough to catch a second wind, let alone get close to the taste of victory.

-Decrep and Weaken penalize Smite damage, but neither one is cast in Uber Tristram so I omit their effect. (The Arreat Summit [http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-uberbaal.shtml says] Uber Baal casts Decrep, but I’ve never seen it.)

 As shown, the formula divides into halves, with each half embraced by red parentheses. It then is easy to see why Smite players get excited by the ‘plus-x damage’ mod. Any one-point increase in the first half of the formula gets a boost from each of the bonuses with any value in the second half of the formula. Equipping Redeemer, Astreon’s or Stone Crusher gives a large and immediate increase to the first part of the formula, and a Grief weapon grants an absurdly large increase of 340-400 points.

-== The Poorman’s Strategy ==
+==Strategy==
 Almost all the damage done by the denizens of Tristram is magic. Both Baal and Diablo have hellacious elemental attacks, and Mephisto’s lightning attack is a one-hit kill against all but the very well prepared. Baal’s Specters can stack up and dish serious physical damage, but otherwise the bad news is just about entirely elemental.

 With all danger of Conviction gone The Poorman will draw Diablo out to play and hopefully send him to oblivion. The Poorman will call Baal forth last of all. When Big B falls a Standard of Heroes will fall beside him. That is all the reward The Poorman will claim if he is able to carry the day.
