No real ideas (except using warshr... sorry it fell off my mouth ),
you should be fine as is;

some questions though!

1) no mana leech?
2) wouldn't a stealskull bring you to 5fpa?
3) how many teleport charges do you have? do you plan to teleport all
the way to the throne?
4) Do you expect your mercenary to tank Lister and his puppies?

Use a melee weapon and a shield against hell baal, it's much, much
easier and quicker.

you're so right, just tried it. KingSlayer axe + Sigon's Shield = Wham,
Bam, Thank You, M'am..

Although, I don't seem to have too much luck with my Baal runs today:

#1 - only two blue items
#2 - Crash to Windows desktop
#3 - DemonLimb recharge costs 200K gold - out of cash
can't revive dead merc - must sell some stuff...

My Enchantress tried her new KillBaal bow - NM Baal goes down even faster
as above..

Regards,

OLiver
