Charlatan:
We’re past the discussion about “how do I kill Diablo” but I wanted to chime in to say the skills your clone gets can make the fight much more difficult or much easier. As I understand it, your shadow clone gets 4 skills chosen somehow (I doubt it’s random, but it’s random-ish, let’s say). My Witch Doctor clone had Zombie Bears, which I’d never seen before (given I was level 30) and the first time he shot them at me, I died. And the second time. I was so frustrated, since I had no idea what he was doing. I did learn to GTFO when he started shooting them, and I was able to beat Diablo.
That seems cheap since you can’t get Zombie bears until much later. They ought to at least restrict to the skills you could get (or at the very least a you of whatever static level the shadow you is).

I think the frustration in beating Diablo on my WD led me to rolling a Monk, since I love the strategy of “stand in front of them and hit them in the face” - which is mostly what my Monk does.
Yeah, I had a little trouble on Hell Diablo when I was undergeared and my clone would get the acid hydra. It just lights you up if you stop to get some damage in.
