I have been keyrunning with a bone necro for quite some time, and have been killed several times by this glitch, so I decided just to throw it out there and see if anyone has experienced anything similar.

Anyways, the claw vipers (not sure the exact name of the monster) that can be found in nilithak's lair shoot something like a poison javelin. Typically poision damage doesn't have too much of an effect on bone prison or my nec, yet it seems when you cast the prison over an existing wall, the poision cloud completely annihilates the bone prison in a matter of seconds, and keep in mind it's maxed and fully synergized so it has a massive amount of hit points. The sound that plays when you strike bone prison plays in rapid succession until it's destroyed, like it's getting hit twenty times.

And on top of that if my prison gets casted around my nec while he is in the poison cloud it's like instant death for my nec. My nec can completely handle the poison otherwise, but in this glitch I don't even have time to take an antidote.

I haven't been killed by it enough times to make it a huge problem, just sharing my little discovery to see if anyone else has come across something similar.

Dude, this is one of the reasons for why I feel like quitting Diablo. I mean, for ****'s sake, there are so few high level bosses, Diablo, Baal and Nihlathak, and everytime I do Nihla in an 8 player game, I hit quit every time I see a Viper. They have killed me enough times already on levels 94 and 95, so I'm not risking again... I don't know what it's caused by though... I play with a Wind Druid.

Yeah, im not sure if thats really a glitch i mean... the do deadly damage my pally has max res and gets killed by them pretty easily, note he also has 20k def.

Yea i exp the glitch sometimes with my merc where it seems like he is getting hit multiple times by one shot

maybe it's some kind of lag. Maybe its caused by the knockback? But yeah nilithak and those tomb vipers used to give me some trouble on my lite sorc(especially when once in awhile he was immune and i had to quit). ut, then i got a hammerdin and now i beat those tomb viper's and nilithak's asses down:D with hammers

My necro was a summoner, just had summons killed a few monsters and used corpse explosion constantly. Works very well =P

this always ****ing happens to my hammerdin, my merc always dies, always.
its like if the poison javelin has some sort of bone spear hidden inside it, and if u move inside the poison cloud u get hit by those bone spears. plus if u listen closely u will hear the sound of a character getting his by bonespear like 100 times, and then u will die.
its really horrible and its cuz of that i never keyrun in baal games..

its really horrible and its cuz of that i never keyrun in baal games..

Wish I'd learn that lesson. Everybody says: "Use Nature's Peace!" I'm like: "Omfg, it's not the CE that's killing me, it's the goddamn vipers". Usually, when I get hit, I go to town and heal, then return and spam tornados like mad. It's like PvP against them, tele, spam, tele more, spam more.
